According to Forbes, there are 3,028 billionaires in the world as of 2025. While that number may have average people shouting, "Eat the rich!", some celebrities see it as a potential dating pool. Here are 35 celebrities who dated or married billionaires and their heirs: Camila Cabello was first romantically linked to Henry Junior Chalhoub — who's an heir to the billionaire Chalhoub family — in January 2025. The Chalhoub family founded the Chalhoub Group, a distribution company for luxury fashion. It's based in Dubai. According to Forbes, the family was worth $1.7 billion as of 2019. After a few months of dating, Mariah Carey got engaged to investor James Packer in 2016. They broke up eight months later. According to Forbes, his net worth is $3.4 billion.

Before becoming a billionaire herself, Rihanna dated Hassan Jameel from 2017–2020.

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.

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.

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."

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."

Their divorce settlement reportedly banned her from giving the Succession writers, who've been heavily inspired by the Murdoch family, any plot ideas.

Chairman Patrick Chalhoub: "I am not at all worried about luxury industry"
The Chalhoub Group contributes to the success of luxury brands through joint ventures and distribution agreements. Although diverse luxury fashion houses recently saw their sales and profits decline, chairman and former chief executive officer Patrick Chalhoub sees no reason to worry about the luxury industry. Chalhoub was interviewed at the World Retail Congress in London about his time with the group. The conversation began with his victories, but quickly turned to the state of the luxury industry at the moment. 'I am not worried at all,' Chalhoub said confidently. 'Luxury is a necessity for a human being. It helps us to strive and it brings pleasure.' The chairman quickly provides the context that the luxury market and the fashion industry in general has always had ups and downs. 'Look at the pandemic, for example. Soon there was revenge buying.' Chalhoub is referring to the fact that after the initial caution of consumers when the pandemic started, there was indeed a catch-up when the shops reopened. 'A period in which one has to adapt, that can certainly happen.' However, he warns that one should not make crazy leaps like a cornered cat too quickly. 'Don't be tempted to betray your values because you are afraid.'

Aussie drivers warned of 48-hour ‘speed fine trap' as school holidays end: 'Higher penalties'
Drivers in one Aussie state are being warned to remain vigilant around school zones and follow the 40km/h speed limit, despite most students not returning to school until Wednesday. Monday April 28 and Tuesday April 29 are designated 'school development days' in New South Wales, designed as professional learning and planning days for teachers and staff. Students do not attend. Even though children will not be at school on those days, the lower speed limits will be enforced and could result in a hefty penalty for those who aren't aware of the rules. According to the NRMA, "pupil-free days continue to be a major speed trap for motorists". Transport for NSW Executive Director Transport Safety Chadi Chalhoub said drivers need to be mindful of school zones regardless of the development days, as there are some students who will be returning to school from Monday. 'We want children to go to school and return home safely, so please follow the speed limit in school zones and watch out for children when they are crossing, waiting to cross or as they get on or off buses," Mr Chalhoub said. 'Drivers who disobey road rules and gamble with the lives of children will face higher penalties and risk losing their licence.' Figures from 2024 show that an incredible 2,184 speeding fines were issued over the two days leading up to term one, almost doubling the daily average for February. At the time, NRMA spokesperson Peter Khoury said too many drivers were being caught out by the 'confusing' return of the speed cameras. 'It is extremely frustrating when drivers who normally abide by the 40 km/h speed limit in school zones are fined on pupil-free days because they were oblivious to the fact that the speed limits applied despite their children not being at school,' he said. 'The overwhelming majority of drivers go to great lengths to do the right thing around school zones and school zone speed limits have overwhelming public support – we just don't want people inadvertently breaking the law and getting fined. 'Confusion and complacency can set in when your children are still at home yet the school zones apply. Please be extra alert tomorrow as you drive through school zones as speed limits will apply.' The number of pupil-free days in NSW has increased from six days in 2024 to eight days in 2025. Do you have a story tip?

Quraye's Good Friday tradition: An Easter reenactment in a Lebanese village
by Naharnet Newsdesk 21 April 2025, 12:26 It's become a Good Friday tradition in Quraye: residents and visitors converging on the southern Lebanese village to witness a portrayal by some Christians there of Jesus' suffering and crucifixion. On Friday, Charbel Joseph Antoun, 37, played the role of Jesus. Wearing a crown that was thorny on the outside, he lugged a wooden cross while getting flogged. At one point, Antoun's arms were tied with ropes to the cross, which was then hoisted up. Spectators walked behind the procession; others peered down from balconies. At times, many looked touched by the scenes. "What's more beautiful than representing the final period of Jesus' life on earth ... and of feeling, even a little bit, of the pain he's felt?" Antoun told The Associated Press on the eve of the reenactment of the Way of the Cross. "What's more beautiful than all of us gathering together?" This year, Christians in Lebanon are observing Holy Week and celebrating Easter after a November ceasefire halted more than a year of the latest Israel-Hezbollah fighting, providing the country with some respite though not a complete end to hostilities. Since the ceasefire, Israel has carried out almost daily airstrikes that have killed scores of civilians and members of the militant Lebanese Hezbollah group. Israel has said that its strikes in Lebanon are in response to ceasefire violations by Hezbollah and to prevent the group from rearming. Hezbollah started launching attacks on Israel a day after the Israel-Hamas war erupted on Oct. 7, 2023, with the Palestinian militants' attack on southern Israel. Even before the fighting, Lebanon was embroiled in a series of economic and other crises. "People vent during these celebrations," said the Rev. Tony Chalhoub of the Maronite church of St. George in Quraye. "They're trying to live as much as possible." Many Lebanese, he said, have had to grow accustomed to coping with wars. "When Israel strikes, the people get scared in the moment and then carry on with their business," he said. This year, Chalhoub said, he's seeing "a look of hope" and more smiles from people, before adding: "I don't know if they will be disappointed later." On Thursday, in a ritual symbolizing humility, Chalhoub washed the feet of a dozen boys at the church. The ritual recalls the foot-washing Jesus performed on his 12 apostles at their Last Supper together before he would be taken away to be crucified. Chalhoub said he doesn't participate in the Friday reenactment, which he said has become entrenched in Quraye. On social media, he added, it often draws mixed reactions, with some criticizing aspects of it as "backward." Antoun said scenes like the hoisting of the cross and the flogging are done in a calculated and "professional" manner. "We do this out of a good heart," he said. Michel Badr, who came from another village to attend the reenactment, said he supports the performance "so that people would know, even if in a small way, how much Jesus had suffered ... to give us a new era and a beautiful life after him." Chalhoub said his concern is to avoid an overemphasis on mourning. "It's better to turn the pain into glory and to triumph over pain with God's power, not just to go and cry," he said. "There's redemption. There's salvation," Chalhoub said. "Of course, there's sadness, but there's huge hope for triumphing over all that is painful."
