What is a trophy wife? She's typically defined as a woman who marries a much older man. The trophy wife marries the older man for money and status. The man marries the woman for her youthful beauty.

We'd like to create a top ten list of trophy wives. Anyone got some suggestions?

On Wikipedia we read that "age disparity in extreme cases may be seen as dysfunctional (a paraphilia) if such relationships are pursued to the exclusion of all others and to the detriment of the partners. The term alphamegamia can be used when a person is sexually aroused by partners of a different age group, and "chronophilia" can describe a sexual fixation on members of a different age group".

But according to psychiatrist Frank Pittman the times are changing. Status-conscious tycoons want to have second marriages—and affairs—with alpha women. "Older men want the most impressive achiever in the office. In the eyes of a man's peers, the woman with the career and degrees counts for more than Miss America. Status is attached to a woman who is successful, not to a woman with a perfectly pear-shaped ass."
