Blonde moment of the week

“Don’t you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty?” It’s one of the best lines from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Certainly, marriage is not an economic transaction. There is a bit more involved then that. However, older rich men tend to marry younger pretty women.

It is a sad state of affairs, however, when an 89 year old man, who happens to be a billionaire, marries a 26 year old woman, who happens to be a stripper. First off, where was his son to prevent such action? Obviously not caring what his elderly father is doing, and certainly not spending enough time with him to know of his desire for companionship.

And so, what do we get twelve years later? A son who wishes he hired a prostitute for his old man and a woman who still doesn’t have “her share” of her late husband’s estate.

There is way too much here to talk about, so I will keep it to this: It is very obvious why J. Howard Marshall married Anna-Nicole Smith, and vice versa. And, I can’t help but think if Pierce Marshall had been a bit more attentive to his father that this would not have happened.

Certainly, Ms. Smith should not have preyed upon the senior Mr. Marshall. But, the senior Mr. Marshall must have known what he was getting into. And perhaps, Ms. Smith is the smartest of the bunch. Settle out of court Mr. Marshall junior. She’s made enough of a fool of you. And if you have children, let this be a lesson to them.
