Anna Nicole Smith - While performing in October 1991 at Gigi's (a Houston strip club later renamed as "Pleasures"), Smith met elderly oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall, and they began a relationship. During their two-year affair, he reportedly lavished gifts on her and asked her to marry him several times.She divorced her first husband Billy on February 3, 1993, in Houston. On June 27, 1994, 26-year-old Smith and 89-year-old Marshall were married in Houston. This resulted in a great deal of gossip about her marrying him for his money. She reportedly never lived with him, never had sex with him, or kissed him on the mouth more than ten times. Smith, however, maintained that she loved her husband, and age did not matter to her. Thirteen months after his marriage to Smith, Marshall died in Houston on August 4, 1995, at age 90. His will was contested and I don't think she ever saw a dime of the money he had left her in the will.
