Celebrities Who Married Partners With Extreme Wealth
By BRANDON MILLER
Brooklyn Beckham
Anyone who marries into the Beckham family would be upping their status of living, but Brooklyn Beckham managed to up his status by marrying heiress Nicola Peltz.
David and Victoria Beckham are reportedly worth £380 million, but the Peltz family is worth more than double that. Nicola’s father, Nelson Peltz, is worth $1.6 billion.
Salma Hayek
The actress is rich in her own right, but her billionaire husband, François-Henri Pinault, is worth a mind-boggling $43 billion as of July 2023.
The couple married in 2009 and have been together since 2006, but that didn’t stop people from calling the actress a gold digger. Hayek has said they are still “strong in love.”
Ellen Barkin
Ellen Barkin has been a Hollywood staple for over four decades, but her career took a backseat during her marriage to billionaire Ronald Perelman due to his controlling nature.
Perelman (currently worth $1.8 billion) blindsided Blarkin with their divorce papers in 2006, and even with a prenup in place, the divorce proceedings got very contentious.
Elle MacPherson
Supermodel Elle Macpherson married her second husband, billionaire Jeffrey Soffer, in July 2013 after a short four-month engagement.
When the couple split in 2017, Macpherson sold their home for $8.1 million and won $53 million in the divorce settlement (but that’s a pittance for Soffer, who’s worth $2.2 billion).
Jesse James
Even with a highly-publicized bitter divorce from Sandra Bullock, Jesse James keeps convincing women to marry him. Amongst his many marriages was one to heiress Alexis DeJoria.
Alexis is the daughter of John Paul DeJoria, whose net worth is $2.8 billion as of July 2023. After their 2020 split, it was revealed that he cheated on her with at least 20 women.
