As for the billionaires, their marriages seem mostly transactional.  Melania, for example, was asked in an interview if she would have married her husband if he didn't have money, and she responded something about her husband marrying her for youth and looks.  Some people might think that's fine.  I think it's inappropriate/gross and I'll re-affirm that I don't personally know anyone with such an age and experience gap as there was between the Trumps.  The Murdoch situation is even worse.  92 and 67 when they married.  She's just hoping he dies asap, unless her prenup says she gets paid by the day/month/year they are married and he's still alive in which case she's hoping for a long-term coma.  

Some celebrity situations arguably are a little different.  The old guys arguably are silver foxes who aren't outkicking their coverage by as much as we might think.  Calista Flockhart was in her late 30s and rich and famous when she married Harrison Ford.  I don't get her decision, but I don't think she was bought or groomed or anything like that.  Some of the celebs seem more like the Trump situation except with a lower transaction value.  Maybe I'm overlooking the value of a sense of humor.  To me, you have to have a sense of humor to think about getting in bed with someone 25 years older let alone marry them.

Maybe none of this is rare like 1 in 1,000,000, but when it comes to sex/marriage, we're still a country of prudes and anything less common than 1 in 1,000 is probably considered super weird and inappropriate.  Maybe I'm projecting.
