12. Rachel Hunter
Sixteen years of marriage with the famous singer Rod Stewart proved to be a very lucrative time for young Rachel. Her long legs and mesmerizing smile captivated aging singer for so long that they actually had two children.
Rachel Hunter is a New Zealand model, actress and reality TV show host, best known for her appearance in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues.
Hunter began modeling by age 17 in 1986, and the same year turned down an invitation to pose for Playboy magazine because she felt she was too young for such a thing.
At the age of 21, she met celebrated rock star Rod Stewart, 24 years her senior, and they were married on 15 December 1990.
On life with Rod she had this to say: “You can’t really expect a 22-year-old girl to react the same way as a man 24 years older than her”.
The marriage surprisingly lasted for sixteen years, although they separeted back in 1999.
She was 66 million dollars richer after their divorce. Ouch!
Twist in her story was the fact that after their divorce, she was engaged to NHL hockey player Jarret Stoll of the Los Angeles Kings, 13 years her junior.
They planned to marry in August 2009, but the wedding was called off.
