Top Billionare Wags : Wives and Girl Friends

Many entrepreneurial and driven bros aspire to be members of the billionaires club. However, we all know that "pimpin' ain't easy." Billionaire bachelors and captains of industry can't just date or marry an everyday simpleton when there's the risk of losing ten figures of wealth and power to a money-hungry gold digger. There's simply too much on the line when your annual income is higher than the gross domestic product of some third-world nations. Perhaps this is why there are so few billionaire bachelors in the world. According to the personal wealth arbiters at Forbes magazine, there were only 72 single and ready-to-mingle bachelors and bachelorette with billionaire status in 2009.

Here at BroBible, we're mesmerized by sexy trophy wives and head-turning girlfriends. So we decided to round up the 15 hottest WAGS of billionaires and rank them according to their hotness. Most are hitched to their high-rolling hubbies until death -- or divorce -- do them part. In order to earn a spot on our list, each wife or girlfriend had to be connected with a bona fide playboy with a coveted position on Forbes' prestigious world billionaire list (sorry Tiger, Ronaldo, and Harvey Weinstein). We've included photo evidence for justifying our ranking, which is spread out across two different pages, so bank your comments until the very end.

Salma Hayek On Motherhood : An Interview

There's no question Salma Hayek is enjoying motherhood, and she recently sat down with Glamour Magazine to tell the public all about it:

On becoming a mother at age 41:

"I believe that change keeps you young. I’m a late bloomer; I always have been. I’m 41, and I know a lot of women think that this is the time when you start getting depressed. To that I say, “No, no, no, no, no!” I’m having the best time of my life."

On the best thing that's happened in her life: "The best thing that’s ever happened to me is this thing that has happened to so many women, which is having a baby. Every second is magical, every smile. I cannot get enough of it, because I am not sitting here thinking, What am I going to do with my life? I’ve already established my career. I think it’s very good to have a child at this age. I’m in a great place."

On how Valentina has changed her:

"I don’t remember very well who I was before. Part of me feels like it’s so new and so strange to have a baby, and part of me feels like I’ve known [her] face forever. Somehow I am really relaxed within the chaos of having a baby -- and anyone who’s a mother knows it’s very hard to relax, because there is so much to do and worry about! I just feel so fortunate to be her mother, and it makes me excited about the rest of my life, because I will get to witness her transformation every day. I feel I was born to have this girl."

On her pregnancy:

"I really embraced pregnancy. I enjoyed it. It came to me and I said, 'OK, this is where I go now.' I had diabetes while I was pregnant. I became huge. And I said, 'This is what it takes for me to have this baby, and I really want it.' Then you don’t know if it’s going to be healthy; you are completely out of control. So the experience really makes you humble."

On the surprises of motherhood:

"Well, I have to confess something -- I wanted a boy. At the beginning I did. Probably because I was afraid. I think women suffer a bit more than boys, and there is always conflict between mothers and daughters. But now that she’s here, I’m so happy she’s a girl. And I can’t imagine there ever being conflict between us, because I’m in a state of innocence where I love everything she does. If she does a poop and I have to change the diaper, I love that moment!"

On her relationship with Valentina's father, Francois-Henri Pinault [he lives in Paris, she lives in Los Angeles]:

"To most women it’s crazy. But every relationship is unique, and in order to make it work you have to be willing to listen—not only to your partner, but to the relationship itself. You have to be brave enough to say, 'This is who we are: We might not look like the perfect couple, or like our parents did, but this is our love story.'"

Salma Hayek fed starving baby

Salma, 42, fed the baby boy while visiting a hospital with the charity, because his own mother had stopped producing milk, and the moment was captured on camera and aired on US television on ABC.

Salma said: "The baby was perfectly healthy, but the mother didn't have milk.

"He was very hungry. I was weaning my daughter Valentina, but I still had a lot of milk that I was pumping, so I breastfed the baby.

"When he felt the nourishment, he immediately stopped crying. It was amazing because he's really looking at me and he's very little. My baby is one year so she can suck a lot harder."

The Oscar-nominated actress feels her own daughter would be proud of her to have shown such generosity.

Salma Hayek : Biography

Touted by filmmaker Robert Rodriguez as the first Mexican star to play the female lead in an American movie since Dolores Del Rio, the stunningly beautiful and charismatic Salma Hayek scorched stateside cineplexes as the fiery border town bookseller who romances Antonio Banderas' vengeful "mariachi" in "Desperado" (1995). She had previously won the hearts of her countrymen with two TV roles in the late 1980s, first as an innocent schoolgirl in "Nuevo Amancer" and subsequently as the comely bad girl protagonist of "Teresa" in the extremely popular primetime soap. Fearing that Mexican audiences valued her looks more than her thespian skills – despite several acting awards – Hayek left Mexico at the height of her vogue and headed for L.A. She then took a year-and-a-half off from acting to learn English.

By 1992, Hayek was landing TV guest shots and appeared as a recurring character on a family sitcom, "The Sinbad Show" (Fox, 1993-94), before winning a supporting role in Alison Anders' well-regarded indie feature "Mi Vida Loca/My Crazy Life" (1993). Hayek's English skills had blossomed but roles remained elusive. Writer-director Rodriguez heard her lament on comic Paul Rodriguez's talk show and cast her as the female lead in his first 35mm project, "Roadracers" (Showtime, 1994), the hyper-stylized premiere installment of the "Rebel Highway" TV-movie series. His ultimate goal was to cast her as the female lead in his studio-produced sequel to 1992's low-budget marvel "El Mariachi;" the ploy worked, allowing Hayek to beat out all the standard Anglos that the studio attempted to impose upon the production.

Additional Hollywood assignments followed including further collaborations with Rodriguez on two other projects – a cameo with Banderas in the ill-conceived feature "Four Rooms" (also 1995) and as a blood-sucking snake-dancer in the Quentin Tarantino-scripted vampire outing, "From Dusk Till Dawn" (1996). Hayek has stated her intention to alternate between working in Hollywood genre fare and Mexican art films (e.g., 1995's "Midaq Alley/El Callejon de los Milagros"). She idled for a while in Hollywood, though; with unremarkable supporting roles in Cindy Crawford's debut outing, "Fair Game" (1995), and the convicts on the run actioner "Fled" (1996).

Hayek then essayed her first romantic comedy lead opposite Matthew Perry in the underperforming "Fools Rush In" (1997). Cast as a Mexican woman who hastily marries an American and then proceeds to fall in love with him, she made a valiant effort, but critics and audiences were not impressed. "Breaking Up" (1997), which paired her with Russell Crowe as a couple who constantly separate and reconcile, also failed to excite audiences. She fared somewhat better as the fiery gypsy dance Esmeralda to Mandy Patinkin's "The Hunchback" in the 1997 TNT TV-movie but her role in the highly anticipated "54" (1998) was abbreviated when executives demanded re-shoots and a change in the storyline.

In 1999, Hayek was cast as the female lead in the western action flick, "Wild, Wild West" and appeared in director Kevin Smith's controversial comedy "Dogma.” She followed up with more serious fare, taking a small role in Steven Soderbergh's acclaimed anti-drug ensemble drama "Traffic" and appearing as a sexually controlling actress in Mike Figgis' experimental multi-screen drama "Timecode" (she would later reunited with Figgis for his next split-screen effort "Hotel"). She also produced and starred as the Mexican surrealist painter Frida Kahlo in the drama biopic "Frida" (2002). For years Hayek fought to get the film made, eventually becoming the movie's producer, and the actress powered the project into production by the sheer force of her desire to bring the life story of her fellow countrywoman to the screen. While reaction to the film – directed by avant garde auteur Julie Taymor – was mixed, Hayek's intense performance was roundly praised. She was able to transcend both her sex symbol status and the limits of her ethnicity when she received an Academy Award nomination as Best Actress for her efforts.

In 2003 Hayek reunited twice with director Robert Rodriguez, first for a humorous cameo in "Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over" and then to reprise her role as Carolina – if only in flashback – in the successful and entertaining third outing in the El Mariachi series "Once Upon a Time in Mexico.” She then demonstrated her highly combustible sexual chemistry with co-star Pierce Brosnan in the amiable caper comedy "After the Sunset" (2004), playing the lover/partner of Brosnan's retired master jewel thief who finds himself tempted by the prospect of one last score, putting their relationship in jeopardy.

Then in 2006, Hayek donned a new hat – executive producer – for television’s “Ugly Betty" (ABC, 2006- ), an American adaptation of the popular Colombian telenovela “Betty, La Fea” (RCN, 1999-2001.) Using her big-screen fame, Hayek guest-starred in several episodes of “Ugly Betty” during its first season to boost the fledgling show’s ratings. On July 19, 2007, Hayek’s portrayal as glamorous fashionista Sofia Reyes earned the actress her first Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series.
