Kevin O’Leary and his personal life

The star of the ABC show Shark Tank, Kevin O’Leary is a married man. The name of his wife is Linda. And the two have a lovely relationship and are now married for more than 30 years.

They share two children who are Trevor and Savannah. Though he has a long married life, he has warned people about problems that could creep into their relationship post-marriage.

He is a strong believer in prenuptial agreements. He said that it is better to have everything in writing to avoid any problems later on.

In 2013, Kevin had told The National Post:

“The No. 1 reason marriages break up isn’t infidelity — it’s money,”
“Marriage isn’t just an emotional decision, it’s a financial one. If you can successfully sign a prenuptial agreement, that marriage stands a much better chance of success.”

Kevin warns about gold diggers

In his 2012 book Cold Hard Truth On Men, Women, and Money: 50 Common Money Mistakes and How to Fix Them, he has talked about gold diggers. He states:

“There’s a big difference between someone who’s concerned about his or her financial health and a gold digger who’s interested only in your financial wealth,”
“But the only surefire way to ‘out’ a gold digger is to slap a prenuptial agreement down in front of him or her.”

Further, Kevin revealed that those who are gold diggers go for financially stable people who are in their midlife. Kevin added:

“Anytime there is a financial disparity of any kind between a couple, caution must be exercised. If you have a healthy pension, you’d be wise to date someone equally flush in the twilight years.”

Such a gold digger could be a male or a female. He disclosed:

“I’ve met a few gold diggers in my travels, both male and female. Some of them are perfectly nice people. But they have a single goal in mind: to meet and marry someone rich.”

Tips to recognize a gold digger

Kevin has provided some tips on how to know that a person is after your money and not love. One should look for the following characteristics in the person:

· –They live beyond their means.

· –They have no real employment and also no goals in life beyond being available to you.

· –They bring up the topic of money way too soon.

· –They expect always that you pay for everything.

· –They are most of the time expensive clothes and jewelry that are beyond their affording power.

· –They hint at things they want you to purchase for them.

But the gold standard is when they do not want to sign the prenuptial agreement.

Concludingly, he said:

“Not every beautiful young man or woman you meet is out for your money. But I advise you to padlock your wallet or call a lawyer if you are dating people with these characteristics.”
