In most cases, when a woman marries an older “wealthy” man, she is accused of being a “gold digger” who married because of the money and fame she stands to gain. Some women who have fallen into this category have tried to prove the world wrong – that one can indeed fall in love with an older man and stay with him not because of monetary gains but for the sake of love.

  1. Relationship/Marriage to Hulk Hogan

Jennifer McDaniel came to the attention of the media in 2008 when she began dating Hogan, not long after his explosive and sensational divorce from his wife of 26 years Linda Claridge, who ‘took him to the cleaners’ leaving him bankrupt. Hogan revealed that he was in a very bad place after his divorce and considered committing suicide. Jennifer was one of the people that really held him down and helped him find happiness again.

The duo got engaged in November 2009 and got married in Clearwater, Florida on the 14th of December 2010. Although their wedding was an intimate ceremony, it wasn’t without ‘drama’ as an uninvited paparazzi who was caught trying to take a picture of the couple entered into a scuffle with their bodyguard. The police were called in but no arrest was made.

Considering the bitter ending of Hulk’s first marriage, it was reported that the couple did sign a prenup this time around. Jennifer and Hulk have remained married and continue to work on their relationship and live together as husband and wife.
