8. Elizabeth Adeney – 66-Year-Old Businesswoman
If you were 66 years old and working a five-day work week, would you consider it the perfect time to have a kid? Elizabeth Adeney did. She was a wealthy businesswoman and in perfect health at the time of her pregnancy. Friends described her as “bright” and “single-minded.” At age 66, she gave birth to a baby boy, Jolyon on May 28, 2009.
A friend said, “I’m amazed how she keeps going.” Conceived through IVF treatment in a controversial Ukrainian clinic. She completed treatment abroad. Her 71-year-old husband refused for 10 years to lend himself for assisted maternity. His refusal, combined with the birth of Jolyon, caused their later divorce.

A room in her $910,000 house has transformed. Now it is a nursery. A live-in nanny helps her cope with raising a child and working. Elizabeth says, “It’s not physical age that is important – it’s how I feel inside. Some days I feel 39. Others, I feel 56.”
