Trophy wife
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
"Trophy Wife" redirects here. For other uses, see Trophy Wife (disambiguation).
A trophy wife is commonly used to describe any wife who is considered a status symbol.
The term trophy wife was coined by Julie Connelly, a senior editor of Fortune magazine, in a cover story in the issue of Aug. 28, 1989[1] and immediately entered common usage.[citation needed] Although it often has a pejorative spin, the term originally meant a corporate titan's second (or third) wife, who was younger and beautiful.[2] As used by Fortune, a trophy wife was almost always highly accomplished in her own right and was quite intelligent. This important point is usually ignored by the popular media, and in popular usage, a trophy wife is usually considered to be unintelligent, sometimes even a bimbo.
The marriage of former Playboy playmate Anna Nicole Smith to oil magnate, J. Howard Marshall, was widely followed by the U.S. media, as an extreme example,[3] as at the time of their marriage: he was 89 years old and she was 26.
Some sources claim the term was coined earlier (for example, the Online Etymology Dictionary cites 1984[4]) but that seems incorrect. The Oxford English Dictionary confirms August 28, 1989 as its first use.[5]
