That’s not new.

A lot of women (and some men, John Kerry comes to mind), marry up so they can become somebody. Problem is that, most of them remain nobodies.

"... marry up so they can become somebody. ..."

Well, she now is somebody.
She is the wife of the allegedly most powerful vegetable in the world.
Exciting - yes?

There are a lot of gold diggers that made good wives. Both parties knew what the relationship was built on and both kept their side of the agreement. I have met a few "gold diggers" and they were pretty happy with the relationship and so were their husbands.

Marrying above social class and money is built into female DNA. Marrying young attractive women is built into male DNA. As long as they both get what they want, it usually works. As someone said, "She married a purse and he married a nurse."
