Celebrities Who Dated Or Married Billionaires
Here are 35 celebrities who dated or married billionaires and their heirs:

In 2021, Forbes reported that she achieved billionaire status largely through Fenty Beauty, the makeup brand she launched in partnership with LVMH in 2017.

Before becoming a billionaire herself, Rihanna dated Hassan Jameel from 2017–2020. His family — who own the largest Toyota distribution company in several parts of the Middle East, Abdul Latif Jameel — was reportedly worth a collective $2.2 billion in 2017.

Brooklyn Peltz Beckham married actor/heiress Nicola Peltz Beckham in 2022. They first met at Coachella in 2017 when one of her brothers introduced them.

From 2004–2005, Mischa Barton dated Brandon Davis, the grandson of oil baron Marvin Davis, who had a reported net worth of $5.8 billion in 2004, the year he died. The couple reportedly met at a charity event. After the split, they stayed friends.
Nearly two decades years later, Brandon Davis married a different actor. In 2023, he tied the knot with Ashley Benson several months after going public with their relationship. They reportedly had a lot of friends in common.
In 2015, hotel heiress Nicky Hilton married James Rothschild, who's the heir to a famous banking family. The couple reportedly met at Petra Ecclestone and James Stunt's Italian wedding in 2011. According to Business Insider, the Rothschild family has an estimated net worth of $1 billion.
In 2005, Mary-Kate Olsen dated shipping heir Stavros Niarchos III for five months, and their relationship reportedly ended after he publicly cheated on her with a close friend. His father, Philip Niarchos, is reportedly worth $2.8 billion.
Paris Hilton was allegedly that close friend. She and Stavros Niarchos III had a brief relationship before ending things in early 2006.
Previously, in 2005, Paris Hilton had a five-month engagement to shipping heir Paris Kassidokostas-Latsis, whose family has a reported combined net worth of $3.2 billion.
Following their split, she auctioned off her 24-carat engagement ring. The proceeds benefitted survivors of Hurricane Katrina.
Rebel Wilson and Jacob Busch made their relationship Instagram official in late 2020 but ended things four months later. As of 2024, Forbes estimated that his family, which founded the Anheuser-Busch brewing company, had a net worth of $20 billion.
Naomi Campbell dated real estate developer Vladislav Doronin from 2008–2013. Reportedly, his net worth is an estimated $1 billion.

Linda Evangelista and business mogul François-Henri Pinault, who took over the luxury goods conglomerate that his father, self-made billionaire François Pinault, started, were together for four months in 2006. However, they allegedly only spent seven days together in person. His family owns the luxury group Kering, which owns brands like Gucci and Saint Laurent, and their collective net worth is reportedly $19.5 billion.
The couple had a son together, Augustin, and were involved in a drawn-out child support case. In her filing, Linda claimed she spent $46,000 a month on expenses like 24-hour nanny care and armed bodyguards. François-Henri's lawyer said that amount was "just ridiculous." Eventually, the former couple reached a private settlement.
In 2009, Salma Hayek married François-Henri Pinault. The couple reportedly met at a gala held in a marble palace the Pinaults own in 2006.
After Salma's wedding, she and Linda became close friends and co-parent Augustin along with François-Henri.
While still legally married to Melissa Meeks, model Jeremy Meeks — who rose to fame after his mugshot went viral — started dating heiress Chloe Green. They were together from 2017-2019 (he divorced Melissa in 2018). Chloe's parents, Philip and Cristina Green, own Arcadia Group, which consists of British retail chains like Topshop. According to Forbes, their net worth was $2.3 billion in 2022.
In early 2022, Julia Fox dated Ye (formerly Kanye West) for about a month. At the time, Forbes estimated his net worth to be about $2 billion, but now, following Adidas cutting ties with him over his antisemitic remarks, it's reportedly $400 million.
On her TikTok story several months after the breakup, Julia said, "Money coming into a billionaire should go right back into the community that made them rich. That's how I feel about billionaires, they should not exist. They are fucking pariah to our society. There's about 2,500 billionaires, I think, and cumulatively, they own the majority of the wealth of the world so that they can go fuck themselves." Then, addressing the billionaires she's dated, she added, "Yeah that's why I use all of you. That's why I used all of you. Yeah. Never loved any of you guys."
Pete Davidson dated billionaire reality star and businessperson Kim Kardashian for about nine months between 2021–2022. According to Forbes, most of her money comes from her shapewear company Skims, and her net worth is $1.7 billion.
Westworld actor Talulah Riley was married to businessperson Elon Musk not once, but twice — first from 2010–2012, then from 2013–2016. According to Forbes, he's the richest person in the world with a net worth of $403 billion.
The couple first started dating after meeting at a bar in London in 2008. After their first divorce, they briefly rekindled their relationship and got remarried because "it felt silly to be together unmarried after having been married."
Two years after his second divorce from Tallulah, Elon started dating Grimes. They were in an on-and-off relationship from 2018–2021. They reportedly first connected on Twitter, which he went on to purchase in 2022.
Jerry Hall was married to billionaire media magnate Rupert Murdoch, who chairs News Corp and Fox Corp, from 2016–2022. His family is reportedly worth $23.9 billion.
They met in summer 2015, when Jerry was touring the stage production of The Graduate in Australia. Rupert's sister's niece introduced the two. However, in June 2022, he allegedly announced his decision to separate in an email, writing, "Jerry, sadly I've decided to call an end to our marriage. We have certainly had some good times, but I have much to do... My New York lawyer will be contacting yours immediately." Their divorce settlement reportedly banned her from giving the Succession writers, who've been heavily inspired by the Murdoch family, any plot ideas.
Model Salwa Aga Khan (née Kendra Spears) was married to Prince Rahim Aga Khan from 2013–2022. Naomi Campbell reportedly introduced them at a party. He's the son of imam and philanthropist Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, who had an estimated net worth of $13.3 billion in 2013, according to Vanity Fair.
From 2012–2017, Janet Jackson was married to Wissam Al Mana, whose family made their fortune across several industries, included luxury fashion, automotive, real estate, media, and food. They reportedly met at a hotel opening in Dubai in 2010. According to Essence, his net worth is estimated to be about $1 billion.
Switch actor Ellen Barkin and billionaire financier Ronald Perelman were married from 2000–2006. They reportedly met at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty in 1999. His pickup line was, "So, are you married, or single, or what?" He has a net worth of $1.6 billion, according to Forbes.
He allegedly surprised her with a speedy divorce days before their prenup expired. She reportedly got $20 million in the divorce but then sold the jewelry he gave her — her wedding ring included — at auction for $20.3 million.
In 2008, Beyoncé married Jay-Z. In 2019, he became the first hip-hop artist to achieve billionaire status. Since then, he's more than doubled his wealth through his liquor businesses, including Armand de Brignac Champagne and D'Usse cognac. His fortune also comes from his music ventures, such as Roc Nation and Tidal, and his investments in companies like Uber. His net worth is $2.5 billion.
Jesse James was married to drag racer Alexis DeJoria from 2013–2020. She's the daughter of John Paul DeJoria, who made his fortune in tequila and haircare. According to Forbes, his net worth is $2.9 billion.
John introduced his longtime friend Jesse to Alexis at one of her races in Dallas. In 2020, the couple announced they were separating because "[their] lives were just headed in different directions."
Elle Macpherson was married to billionaire real estate developer Jeffrey Soffer from 2013–2017. The pair dated for two years before breaking up for the first time in March 2012. However, after Jeffrey got injured in a helicopter crash that November, they reunited. Forbes estimates his net worth is about $2.2 billion.
Prior to dating Jeffrey Soffer, Elle Macpherson dated financier Arpad Busson for nine years before separating in 2005. He's reportedly worth an estimated $1 billion.
Then, Uma Thurman was in an on-and-off relationship with Arpad Busson from 2007–2014. They reportedly got engaged twice over the course of their relationship but never made it down the aisle.
And finally, Jane Fonda was married to media proprietor Ted Turner, who founded CNN, from 1991–2001. Forbes estimates his net worth is $2.8 billion.
In 1990, Ted heard that Jane was divorcing Tom Hayden, so, despite not really knowing her, he called her and asked her out. Initially, she said no, but he continued pursuing her for six months until she agreed to go out with him Jane also retired from acting during their marriage, but she later realized that, though staying with a wealthy man would be easy, it would prevent her from becoming everything she could be. The couple also had communication issues due to spending a lot of time apart, which contributed to the end of their marriage.

This Is the Summer of Celebrity It-Bag Revivals
In fashion, what goes around comes around—meaning, if something goes out of style, it is bound to come back in style at some point. In other words: Hang onto those investment pieces, folks! Sure, in a time where there are so many conversations around spring cleaning and decluttering (paging Marie Kondo!), one can easily be ruthless about parting ways with our relics of the past. But if today's trendsetters like Rihanna and Bella Hadid have taught us anything, it's that a little bit of strategic hoarding can come in handy. Because the only thing better than designer, is rare, vintage designer. Case in point: This summer, luxury bags from the 2000s (and even further back) are being revived and given a brand new life. A-listers like Tyla, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Jennifer Lawrence, and Dakota Johnson have all been spotted stepping out and carrying handbags that were once hot. Just this week, Tyla carried a Lous Vuitton x Stephen Sprouse Speedy bag. Y2K, much? The bright, bold graffiti-style bag was all of the rage in the 2000s, yet Tyla made the case for it in 2025 by pairing it with a nonchalant tank and cargo pants. The South African singer is not the only star on the board with reviving a past It-bag. Be it Dakota Johnson and her beloved Gucci Jackie bag (which harks back to the 1960s), to Bella Hadid and her trustee Balenciaga City bag (another 2000s favorite), it's clear that the summer bag approach is the older it is, the better it is. So, start scouring eBay—and try predicting what will be the next past handbag to have a comeback. (Given Céline just revived the 2010s-favorite Phantom bag on the runway, you better start hoarding those secondhand ones—while they are still cheap.) Below, five past It-bags that are having a revival. Louis Vuitton x Stephen Sprouse When Marc Jacobs was at the creative helm of Louis Vuitton, one of his most famous releases was his collaboration handbags with American artist and designer, the late Stephen Sprouse. First released in the spring 2001 collection, Spouse applied neon graffiti-style lettering overtop Vuitton's signature leather monogram print. The splashy bags were heavily coveted and signalled a new era for daring to innovate beyond storied luxury house codes, and were worn by stars like Paris Hilton. Today, Tyla and Rihanna have proven they are still fans of the Y2K style. Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Chloé Paddington Chloé will forever be known for its romantic, boho-chic aesthetic, and one of its signature bags to date is the Paddington—a slouchy leather shoulder bag, punctuated with a big heavy padlock. The style was first debuted in 2005 while Phoebe Philo was creative director. Given the boho revival is all of the rage in fashion currently, it was only a matter of time before the Paddington had a comeback, too: Stars like Rachel Sennott and Daisy Edgar-Jones have worn the new interpretations, brought back to life thanks to current Chloé designer Chemena Kamali. Fendi Spy Bag I spy, you spy—we all spy the Fendi Spy bag! Originally debuted in 2005, the Italian label released a mini top-handle boho bag that was worn by loads of celebrities at the time—everyone from Sarah Jessica Parker to the Olsen twins. Today, it feels just as fresh, now designed in contemporary shades like butter yellow and rich chocolate brown. Stars like PinkPantheress (a noted handbag lover, toting it on stages from Coachella to Glastonbury) and Aubrey Plaza are diehard fans. Photo: Backgrid Balenciaga City Bag Did the Balenciaga City bag ever go out of style? Debatable, but the enduring fashion favorite—first released in 2001, thanks to Nicolas Ghesquière—is certainly the hottest bag in fashion at the moment. Everyone from Dua Lipa to Tate McRae has worn the edgy, slouchy bag with big silver hardware. It will forever be the perfect on-the-go bag that instantly makes an outfit. Photo: Backgrid Gucci Jackie bag A more retro offering, the Gucci Jackie bag was debuted back in 1961, and was popularized by Jackie Kennedy Onassis (hence the name). More than six decades later, the curved silhouette and golden lock clasp feels fresher than ever—though, the modern styling approaches that stars like Dakota Johnson and Yara Shahidi have taken certainly help make the case for it as a 2025 It bag.

‘Smurfs' Review: Rihanna and James Corden Lead All-Star Voice Cast in a Reboot That Chooses Chaos Over Charm
It's been eight years since the last theatrical Smurfs movie, and you know what that means. A whole new crop of very young children are primed to experience their favorite animated characters on the big screen. Unfortunately, what they're getting is Paramount's new reboot featuring the sort of ridiculously overstuffed big-name cast whose names will mean absolutely nothing to them but will provide some reassurance to their adult chaperones, who would no doubt prefer to be watching the new I Know What You Did Last Summer at the adjoining multiplex theater. Not-so-imaginatively titled Smurfs, this latest incarnation represents the sort of charmless, wildly chaotic animated effort that has the unintended effect of reminding us why cutting publicly funded children's television is such a terrible idea. It's directed by Chris Miller (Puss in Boots, Shrek the Third), who also voices Grouchy Smurf. Watching the movie makes it easy to understand why he chose that character. More from The Hollywood Reporter Rise of the Machines: Inside Hollywood's AI Civil War 'Smurfs' Is a Rihanna Passion Project: "She Was Pursuing It" 'Poker Face' Boss Rian Johnson Delighted in That Finale Cliffhanger Tease: "Peacock Was a Little Nervous" The screenplay is by Pam Brady, who previously wrote such subversive animated efforts as South Park: Bigger, Long & Uncut and Team America: World Police, providing some hope that maybe this is all some big put-on. That's sadly not the case — instead, we get the sort of generic storyline in which evil wizards are once again intent on world domination, in this case by kidnapping Papa Smurf (John Goodman) in an attempt to procure a magic book that will help them achieve their ends. (At least I think that's what the story was. It seemed mostly incomprehensible to me, and asking the seven-year-old sitting nearby to explain it might have come across as creepy.) Anyway, it's up to Smurfette (voiced by Rihanna) to lead her fellow Smurfs in a mission to save their patriarch. Among them is No Name, who's suffering an identity crisis because, unlike such fellow Smurfs as Hefty Smurf (Alex Winter), Worry Smurf (Billie Lourd) and Vanity Smurf (Maya Erskine), he doesn't have a 'thing.' He's voiced by James Corden, and for those of you desperately missing Carpool Karaoke, rest assured that you get to hear Corden crooning a power ballad. Yes, this is one of those animated movies in which the characters periodically break into song, and sometimes even elaborate dance numbers. None of the songs, not even Rihanna's 'Friend of Mine,' proves particularly memorable. But there are certainly enough of them to fill the inevitable soundtrack album. The Smurfs' mission launches them into the real world, including such locations as Paris, the Australian Outback, and Munich, which only serve as unpleasant reminders of Sony's previous, misbegotten animated/live-action hybrids. The Australian section features a musical number showcasing CGI kangaroos, which even one of the characters aptly describes as 'weird.' It also serves to introduce us to the Snooterpoots — small, feathered, Minion-like creatures who will definitely be showing up at a toy store near you. Their leader, Mama Poot, is voiced by Natasha Lyonne, who uses her distinct gravelly voice to good comic effect. The Smurfs also venture into alternate universes, as if we didn't already get enough of that nonsense from the MCU. Weirdly, there's a lot of sibling stuff going on in the movie. The villains are brother evil wizards Razamel and Gargamel (both played by JP Karliak), who have serious rivalry issues. And Papa Smurf has not one but two brothers, Ken (the ever-reliable Nick Offerman) and long-lost Ron (Kurt Russell), who, needless to say, reappears by the story's end. It was telling that at a preview screening packed with young children, there was nary a laugh to be heard despite the film featuring one would-be joke after another. The sole exception was when one of the Smurfs referred to himself as 'kick-ass,' with the profanity bleeped out, which the kids found absolutely hilarious. If you look at the credits box accompanying this review, you'll see that the cast also includes such ringers as Amy Sedaris, Sandra Oh, Jimmy Kimmel, Octavia Spencer, Nick Kroll, Hannah Waddingham and Daniel Levy, among others. Few of them make any impression whatsoever, but it's comforting to know that already overpaid stars are getting big bucks to sit in recording booths for a couple of days while reading from scripts.

Drake Bell claims ‘no one' on Nickelodeon gets paid residuals: ‘It's like getting high on child labor'
Drake Bell feels cheated, and he's not thrilled about it. The 'Drake & Josh' alum, 39, recently claimed that 'no one' on Nickelodeon receives residuals for their time on the popular children's network. He also slammed the belief that everyone on TV is rich. 'That's the perception of the world, it's always been this way,' Bell said during an episode of 'The Unplanned Podcast' on July 2. 'It's like, you know, 'Oh, you made a Folgers Coffee commercial. You must live in a mansion in Hollywood. Like, I saw you on TV. You're rich.'' Advertisement 7 Drake Bell during 'The Unplanned Podcast' on July 2. The Unplanned Podcast/YouTube 7 Drake Bell and Josh Peck in Nickelodeon's 'Drake & Josh.' Nickelodeon 'That's far from the case,' he explained. 'And especially, which is the bummer for most of us on Nickelodeon, we don't get residuals for our shows.' Advertisement Bell, who made his Nickelodeon debut on 'The Amanda Show' with Amanda Bynes in 1999 before co-starring on 'Drake & Josh' with Josh Peck from 2004 to 2007, revealed that almost everyone on the network only receives a one-time payment for their work. He then compared Nickelodeon's 'flawed' system to shows like 'Seinfeld' and 'Friends,' and noted how the casts of those sitcoms still earn millions of dollars from syndication residuals. 7 Amanda Bynes and Drake Bell on Nickelodeon's 'The Amanda Show.' Nickelodeon 'You want to get into syndication,' Bell told podcast hosts Abby and Matt Howard. 'You want to get to 100 episodes so that you can get to syndication, and then you want to get into syndication because then you get your residual money, that's where you make your money.' Advertisement 'For example, the 'Friends' cast at the peak was making a million dollars an episode,' he continued. 'You make 13 episodes that year, you make $13 million. You make 20 episodes that year, you make $20 million, right? 'But right now, each cast member of 'Friends,' just in syndication alone, is making over $20 million a year, and they're not filming a show every week,' Bell added. 'They're not going to work, but they're playing their show and they're using their likeness and they're doing all this, so they get paid for it.' 7 Drake Bell during Abby and Matt Howard's 'The Unplanned Podcast' on July 2. The Unplanned Podcast/YouTube When Matt asked whether Nickelodeon stars didn't receive residuals because they were child actors, Bell claimed it was because the network was run by 'a lot of evil, corrupt people.' Advertisement 'That's the only thing, that is the answer,' he said. 'There's no other answer.' Meanwhile, Bell lamented how he still doesn't receive residuals despite seeing 'Drake & Josh' replays and marathons on TV and popular streaming services. 7 Amanda Bynes, Drake Bell and Josh Peck during Nickelodeon's 17th Annual Kids' Choice Awards in 2004.

'There are three channels doing 'Drake & Josh' marathons. Netflix just bought it, it's top 10 on Netflix, and I gotta figure out how to pay my rent this month,' the actor continued. 'And some fat cat with a cigar is just sitting up at the top of Viacom, just going. What do you call it? It's just like getting high on child labor.' Bell, who filed for bankruptcy back in 2014, ended the podcast segment by saying that people outside of the entertainment industry 'don't understand how the business works.' 7 Bell filed for bankruptcy back in 2014. Drake Bell/Instagram 'They just see what the perception is on Instagram and social media and all the glitz and the glamour of Hollywood,' he said. 'We're putting in all of this work. This corporation is making billions with a 'B' off of us, and we're being compensated for the week of work, cool, but that's it.' Advertisement 'And forever, in perpetuity,' Bell concluded. 'It literally says in the contract, across universes and galaxies and planets.' The Post has reached out to Bell's rep and Nickelodeon for comment. 7 Drake Bell on the July 2 episode of 'The Unplanned Podcast.' The Unplanned Podcast/YouTube This wouldn't be the first time the 'Drake & Josh' alum slammed Nickelodeon and the 'flawed' system the network had in place to protect child stars. Advertisement Last year, Bell slammed Nickelodeon's 'pretty empty' apology after the 'Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV' docuseries exposed the toxic behind-the-scenes world of children's TV shows. Bell also revealed in the bombshell docuseries that he had been sexually assaulted by acting coach Brian Peck, and alleged that the shocking abuse is what started him down his self-destructive road.
