“A Young Girl Married To An Old Man”: How Did A Young Model Anna Nicole Smith Became The Wife Of A 90-year-old Tycoon?

In the famous painting “Unequal Marriage,” Vasily Pukirev depicted a sad scene of an elderly groom and a young bride, reflecting a common reality in life.

Similarly, the marriage between 26-year-old model Anna Nicole Smith and wealthy James Howard Marshall II mirrored this theme, albeit with a different emotional tone. Here’s the remarkable love story that continues to captivate the world.

Born into poverty, Vicki Lynn Hogan, later known as Anna Nicole Smith, aspired to emulate Marilyn Monroe’s fame and find a wealthy suitor from a young age.

After facing challenges including teenage pregnancy and a failed marriage, she found herself working as a stripper to make ends meet.

It was during this time that she crossed paths with James Howard Marshall II, an 86-year-old billionaire. Marshall II, an entrepreneur and co-owner of Koch Industries, was captivated by Vicki’s charm and offered her patronage.

Renaming herself Anna Nicole Smith, she underwent significant plastic surgery and rose to fame with Marshall’s support, appearing in Playboy and becoming a Guess model.

Their relationship, though unconventional, was mutually beneficial, with Smith enjoying a lavish lifestyle funded by Marshall. They married in 1994, despite their significant age gap, surrounded by grandeur and opulence.

However, their union was short-lived, as Marshall passed away just 14 months later.

A legal battle ensued over Marshall’s estate, with Smith contesting the will’s exclusion of her. Though she ultimately inherited a substantial fortune after the death of Marshall’s sole legal heir, her life was marked by personal tragedies and struggles with depression.


Smith passed away at 39, leaving behind a complex legacy and a fortune inherited by her third husband, Howard Stern, who had assisted her in the legal proceedings.
