Self-Help Relationships
From Madame de Pompadour, the famed mistress of Louis XV, to
Pamela Harriman, who married into the English aristocracy
and the American plutocracy, there is a rich history of
women who have found glamour and wealth in the arms of a
billionaire. But contrary to what you may think, fortune
hunting is no idle pursuit. Like diving for treasure, it's a
real job. Some women strive to be CEOs; others prefer to wed
them.You'll meet today's dazzling successes in this book.
What kind of woman does it take to make the Midas marriage? Exploring the lives of the great fortune hunters of our day,
reporter and former gossip columnist Charlotte Hays answers
this tantalizing question. You'll learn about the South
Carolina woman who took a trip around the world with a
shadowy shipping magnate, only to meet and marry a
philandering marquis. You'll see what methods these women
use to lure their powerful men, including one playful
fortune seeker who, at a very high-society soire, hurled a
piece of bread at her intended beau, starting a food fight.
You'll meet the New York socialite who remarried so quickly
after a divorce, her ex claimed she was a bigamist. What are
their recipes for riches? Can a genuinely nice woman pursue
this career? What does love have to do with it?With original
interviews and photos, Hays casts a light on the
determination, skill, and---yes, sometimes---ruthlessness
that have shaped some of the most successful---and
lucrative---unions of our time.
