Top 15 trophy wives

[DontMindMe]

We at Celebrity Cowboy define trophy wives as attractive, sometimes much younger partners to affluent men. While many of the trophy wives on this list do well enough on their own, it’s clear they revel in their roles as eye and arm candy for their husbands.

1. CoCo

Married to rapper and actor Ice-T, Coco is the perfect trophy wife. Indeed nothing makes her happier than showing off her bits earning her the nickname, “CoCo the Cameltoe.” Further cementing her into the upper echelon of the Trophy Wife Hall of Fame, is Ice T’s glee at pimping out his wife’s parts any chance he gets.
2. Carla Bruni

Carla Bruni has dated such notable womanizers as Eric Clapton and Mick Jagger but it wasn’t until she began dating French President Nicolas Sarkozy that tongues really began to wag. The couple was married on February 8, 2008. making her the First Trophy Lady of France.
3. Jeri Kehn Thompson

Jeri Thompson will tell you she’s not a trophy wife, but everyone else will tell you she is. She’s no bimbo, though. Jeri holds a degree in English Literature and is a former media consultant. She met her husband, Senator Fred Thompson, while standing in a supermarket checkout in 1998. Despite the 24 year age difference, the pair were married in 2002. There’s a 24 year age difference between them.
4. Melania Trump

Donald Trump made a career out of marrying, and divorcing, trophy brides. After being taken to the cleaners by his first wife, Ivana, he made sure to have iron-clad prenups in place. Still he’s got to be offering something for these much younger beauties to continue to marry him. Model and ice princess Melania Knauss Trump is Donald’s latest acquisition…at least until she starts getting old.
5. Alice Kim

Nicolas Cage’s third wife is also the youngest. After failed marriages with Patricia Arquette and Lisa Marie Presley, 39 year old Nic set his sites on 19 year old waitress, Alice Kim. The pair were engaged two months later and married a few months after that in July 2004 when Alice was 20 years old.

6. Katie Holmes


Currently the most attractive thing about whacky Tom Cruise is his Stepford wife, Katie Holmes. Still the pairing has many people scratching their heads. First Tom went way older with Mimi Rogers, when that didn’t work he stuck with someone closer to his age, Nicole Kidman. Tom dumped Nicole just prior to his 10th year anniversary and began dating young, fresh faced and impressionable Katie Holmes straight from her breakup with Suri’s real father actor Chris Klein.
7. Penny Lancaster


No one does a trophy wife better Rod Stewart. In fact, he made a career of it. Well-known for his penchant for blondes, “Rod the Mod” has been married to Allana Stewart, and Rachel Hunter. His latest trophy is English model and photographer, 6 foot 1, Penny Lancaster. Born in 1971, she’s 26 years Rod’s junior.

8. Victoria Beckham

David Beckham doesn’t need a beautiful woman on his arm to look good, but being married to the fashionable Victoria “Posh Spice” Adams, certainly doesn’t hurt. Even after three babies and a well-publicized boob job, Victoria is the ultimate, classy arm accessory.
9. Adrianne Curry


When Chris “Peter Brady” Knight agreed to be a cast member in the has-been reality show “The Surreal Life” the relationship-challenged former actor had no clue he’d meet his future wife. Former Top model “Adrianne Curry” made it clear to the world she wanted Chris and she was going to get him. The two rode off into the reality sunset with “My Fair Brady” chronicling their relationship, marriage and whether or not they should have a baby. Let’s face it, without Adrianne, no one would be interested in Chris.
10. Catherine [COLOR=blue! important][FONT=Verdana, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Sans-Serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT=Verdana, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Sans-Serif]Zeta-Jones[/font][/font][/color][/color]


Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas met in 1998 on the set of their film “Traffic” when Michael walked up to Catherine and told her he wanted to father her children. Despite the 25 year age difference, Catherine fell for the line and indeed had Michael’s babies.
11. Gena Lee Nolin

Former Baywatch Babe, Gena Lee Nolin is married to third husband, professional hockey player Cale Hulse.
12. Shawn Southwtick


Larry King has been married seven times to six different women. Current wife is actress Shawn Southwick, only 26 years younger.
13. Vanessa Bryant

Married to pro basketball star Kobe Bryant, Vanessa knows she has a very good thing. After he was accused of rape in 2003 and subsequently admitted to cheating, Vanessa stuck with Kobe and he bought her a multi million dollar rock. Vanessa is also one of COED magazines “Top 20 Athletes Wives of 2007.”
14. Katharine McPhee


Only married a few weeks, Katharine is a brand new trophy wife. The 23 year old American Idol finalist married 42 year old producer Nick Cokas. Because she’s rather famous and he’s rather random, she earns a place in the trophy wife hall of fame.
15. Amy Fisher

It seems all Amy Fisher ever aspired to be was someone’s trophy. Her claim to fame was trying to murder her former, much older lover’s wife when she was a teen. Amy is now married to another older man, Lou Bellera. The happy couple even has a sex tape that’s making them lots of money.

Celebrity Cowboy’s Top 15 Trophy Wives

[MissDecember]

I don't know who deserves to be in that top slot, but it isn't Coco.

[sprynkles]

Without Christopher Knight, we'd be asking, who's Adrianne Curry?
I wouldn't consider Posh a trophy wife, I'd say David was the trophy.

[Sm0kah0ntas]

Who comes up with this stuff??!?? Half of these women clearly don't belong here.

I see I have no clue as to what makes a trophy wife.

[dangerous]

I totally disagree with Victoria as a trophy wife. what the hell. david is prettier than her.

[Beeyotch]

I definitely would say David Beckham was the trophy husband rather than the other way around.

And I'd give the top trophy wife spot to Melania Knauss. Complete unknown, and would never in a million years be with Trump if he weren't so rich and she weren't so eastern-european-model gorgeous.

posh hasn't had a real career since the spice girls days and has dedicated her days to being photographed pouting, her robotits thrust forward. and she has the typical trophy wife 'job' designing jeans (i.e. slapping her name on them and showing up for the promo shots). i admit she's a bit more pro-active than say, a trump bride but come on, she's not exactly a feminist icon.

IMO the trump brides are the ultimate trophy wives. and i guess vanessa bryant fits into the category but i see her more as a glorified prostitute.

[southernbelle]

I don't think Posh is a trophy wife. They're pretty close in age, when they hooked up she was a huge star in the Spice Girls, and they seem to be really in love.

And Katie Holmes is a beard- not a trophy wife. Big difference.

[LynnieD]

Someone was obviously high when they made this list. Has to be a joke right?

These chicks are hardly trophy wives. With the exception of possibly Larry Kings wife. She is the definition of a trophy wife.

[Laurent]

Trophy wife means a woman who is way out of her husband's league looks-wise! Whoever put this list together obviously didn't keep that in mind, because Amy Fisher, Vanessa Bryant, Victoria Beckham, and Katie Holmes are most definately not trophy wives.

The idea that Coco is a trophy wife is so ridiculous that it would negate the others anyway.

I agree. The only ones I feel are out of their husband's league in terms of looks are Larry King's wife and possibly Jeri Thompson.

"CoCo" is straight up white trash, just like her husband. They're pretty fucking equally matched. She's not a trophy wife, much less the number 1.

[Chalet]

The one I'd call a trophy wife is Melania Trump. I remember when Candy Spelling was considered a trophy wife.

Melania Trump was the first person I thought of when i read trophy wives. no one else on this list makes any sense to me. i'd be more of a trophy wife than coco whatsherface is.

[Moongirl]

This is what I consider an example of a "trophy wife":

[msdeb]

a big fat OMG for Adrianne Curry. i HATED her on AMNT, and i HATED her on her own show. nasal sounding bitch. dead yet?
