7. Carla Bruni – French Kiss
Bruni is one of those women who moved around the entertainment industry as an actress/singer/model searching for success. As is the common theme with a good trophy wife, you need to hang around the money-men long enough to get recognized and land the gig. It’s simple networking. Bruni had failed relationships with such music legends as Eric Clapton and Mick Jagger. But in 2008 she finally hit the jackpot with former French President Nicolas Sarkozy. With only a 13-year spread, their ages aren’t that far apart. Sarkozy had been married twice before and got divorced from his second wife, Cecilia Ciganer-Albeniz in October 2007. It was only a month after Sarkozy and his second wife separated that he supposedly met and fell for Bruni (seems like a quick turnaround). They have been together ever since. Bruni scores points on the trophy wife playbook for not being the first one to the party.
