Richard Blumenthal has been a member of the U.S. Senate since 2011, having previously served as the attorney general of Connecticut. He has been married to his wife, Cynthia, for over three decades.

Here’s what you need to know about Cynthia Malkin, Richard Blumenthal’s wife.

1. Cynthia Malkin is the daughter of Peter Malkin, a wealthy real estate investor.

Peter Malkin is the chairman emeritus of Empire State Realty Trust, which owns a number of buildings across New York City including the Empire State Building. They also own office properties in Fairfield County, Connecticut and Westchester County, New York.

Cynthia’s brother Anthony Malkin became president and CEO of Empire State Realty Trust in 2013.

2. They Met When She Was 16 & He Was 31

There is a 15-year age difference between Richard Blumenthal and his wife Cynthia; he is currently 70, while she is 55.

According to the Hartford Courant, the two met at a party in Greenwich, where 16-year-old Cynthia was accompanied by her parents; Cynthia and Richard were paired up together in a game of tennis. They met again at Cynthia’s cousin’s wedding a few years later, and they started to date when Cynthia became an adult and began attending Harvard University.

The two of them were engaged during Cynthia’s senior year at Harvard, and they were married the following year when she was 21 and he was 36. The wedding took place at Cynthia’s parents’ home, according to The New York Times.

Blumenthal is beyond weird. He's rich because his wife is rich. Richard's net worth is $104 million! His wife's wife's family are part owners of the Empire State Building valued at $2.5 Billion! He's 31 when he meets her and she's only 16! What were her parents "thinking." This guy has gotten a pass all of his life. Unreal.

[oh8eleven]

What, no mention of his service in Vietnam??? Tsk, tsk.

[Louis Foxwell]

Did he get anything purple? Is it infectious?

[Puppage]

She looks like she should be sniffing luggage at JFK.

[Zeppo]

Surely there must be a train station platform somewhere that needs inspecting by someone with Blumenthal’s ‘talents’...

[ColdOne]

Who are they? Why do we need to know 5 facts about them?

[Kozy]

I find it interesting that they have four children yet support Woman’s Reproductive Rights Organization. Both sides of the mouth here?

[Dr. Sivana]

If they have been married for 40 years, I would give the age spread a pass.

[I want the USA back]

I’m sick of the filthy rich power structure. People who make more money in 1 year than I ever made want to take my money, give it to lazy slobs, and replace me with m*slims who hate me.

Sinator Stolen Valor.

Looks like “Sgt Fury” married well.

He is Senator Blumenthal D-CT.
The one who lied about his Vietnam service.
He’s ruthless.
He’s forever going after President Trump.

[onyx]

He’s certainly lived a charmed life.

I hear you.
Those people have no idea what we want.
No idea what we need.
No idea about our lives.
And they don’t care.

I don’t envy the rich.
I don’t hate the rich.
I just don’t want them to represent me.
They’re too far removed from reality.

DJT is the exception.
Thank God for him.

[onyx]

I should add, the only rich worth representing me (or us) are the rich who have earned their wealth. Not the lazy slackers like Blumenthal who married money. Darrel Issa, who's worth $250 Million, earned his. He made his on his own.
