In October 1991, an 86-year-old oil tycoon was taken to a Houston strip club, where he fell in love with a woman who worked the day shift. The octogenarian’s name was J. Howard Marshall, and he was worth more than $1 billion. And the woman was Anna Nicole Smith, a 23-year-old aspiring model. The two reportedly fell in love at first sight, and the next day, Marshall gave Smith an envelope with $1,000 in cash and told her, “Don’t go to work, my dear. You don’t ever have to go back to work.” The rest was history. Marshall lavished Smith with lavish gifts, including a red Mercedes convertible, access to a bungalow once owned by Marilyn Monroe, and more than $1 million in jewelry. And soon after Smith found fame as a Playboy model, the two married in 1994—but their marital bliss lasted only 14 months before Marshall’s death.
