7. Kimora Lee Simmons (Russell Simmons)
Everyone knows that Kimora Lee Simmons used her husband, producer Russell Simmons. It’s like a well known fact and we don’t have to waste our time debating it. By dating Simmons, she was able to jump start a career, help launch the clothing label “Baby Phat” and receive a ton of money in the separation process.
She met Simmons when she was just 17, he was 35 and from then they had 2 children and were married by Run DMC. This relationship did not last long and soon after Kimora was dating another person and having a child with him as well. Kimora was teased and bullied in her early childhood, but as soon as she started modeling, it was clear how beautiful she was.
Kimora quickly was able to entice many ladies men, but none bigger then Russell Simmons, whose business ventures totaled a net worth of $340 million. Russell Simmons even stepped down as CEO of his clothing line “Phat Farm” so that Kimora could become the creative director. Talk about lucky breaks, eh?
