After marrying in April 1977, Ivana and Donald Trump--her second husband--became regular fixtures on the New York high society scene. They divorced in 1992 in light of Donald's affair with future wife Marla Maples, and Ivana reportedly received $25 million in the settlement. She then married businessman Riccardo Mazzucchelli at Manhattan's Mayfair Hotel in 1995, only to divorce him 20 months later. Her fourth marriage to Rossano Rubicondo--24 years her junior--lasted merely seven months. Ex-husband Donald both hosted the ceremony and encouraged the divorce.

why is the focus of this article on women? (Well except for one token male.) kinda one sided.

None of those people are attractive, male or female. Maybe it's just me, but "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" is so 1980's.....

Divorce is big business among the rich. I get the impression there is an industry of available wannabes and future divorce settlements just waiting as arm candy, even strippers, tatoonies, pornies, co-stars, etc. After the honeymoon is over, get pregnant and you're set for life, or, get used to the lifestyle and sue your wife for enough to give the lifestyle to his new arm candy, etc. WHAT A WORLD!
