Malia Andelin
Andelin was working as a Viacom flight attendant when she caught the eye of her now-husband, Sumner Redstone. A high profile businessman, he owns the National Amusements Group, the parent company of many major TV networks. She was in her 20s at the time, and Redstone was 89.

Though they weren't together for a long time, Redstone's wealth and connections allowed her to make business ventures of her own. In 2012, Andelin received $75,000 to secure an $850,000 donation for the Global Poverty Project. Redstone died on August 10th, 2020.
