Kimora Simmons
Okay, so Kimora isn’t a Gold Digger in the traditional sense. She didn’t just marry a rich dude and try to get at his money. Instead, she married a rich dude and took over his fashion empire. Kimora’s ex-husband, Russell Simmons, is the founder of Def Jam (the record label that founded Hip Hop) and the Phat Farm clothing line. The two met in 1992, dated for 6 years, got married, had two kids, and got divorced 6 years later. While they maintain an amicable relationship, Kimora has taken over the Phat Farm clothing line, started her own reality TV show, and made a name for herself as a bitchy CEO. She’s making her own fortune now, but without Russell, she’d be nothing more than a gigantic, washed up, bi-racial fashion model.
