Forget football, basketball, and soccer WAGS (wives and girlfriends), because there is a new gal in town and she is the TWAG – technology wives and girlfriends – or the billionaire hunters. Face it folks, we now live in a world where nerds are cool and make the big bucks. Finally brains are winning out over brawn – well, some of the time. Miranda Kerr's engagement to SnapChat billionaire Evan Spiegel makes her the latest wife to be of the technology set. Let's take a look at few TWAGS.
Miranda Kerr
Fiancee: Evan Spiegel, SnapChat, $2.1 billion net worth
At first glance, Kerr and Spiegel make an odd couple. He is the Stanford educated founder of SnapChat. She is a Victoria's Secret model who was once married to actor Orlando Bloom and allegedly had an affair with Justin Bieber. But, the pair have been inseparable over the past year and recently got engaged.
Ex-husband: Elon Musk, Tesla, $13.3 billion net worth
Talulah Riley was ahead of the TWAG curve. She started dating Elon Musk in 2008, after meeting him in a London nightclub. A month later they were engaged. The now 45-year-old entrepreneur and 30-year-old actress first married in 2010. They divorced in 2012. The couple remarried in July 2013. In December 2014, Musk filed for divorce from Riley. That action was withdrawn seven months later. Now, the pair are finally calling it quits, and Musk seems to be moving on with Johnny Depp's 30-year-old ex, Amber Heard.
