Christy Brinkley's 3rd husband, Richard Taubman, tricked her into believing he was part of the Taubman billionaire family!

Famous supermodel christy  brinkley played herself with her 3rd husband. She was married to rocker Billy Joel when she started her relationship with Richard Taubman. Billy was having money problems at the time because of his ex-brother in law from his first marriage, and brinkley ever wary for a man with money started trying to find someone else to support her pretentious notions of upper class-dom. Richard Taubman came along and lying and intimating that he was part of this billionaire family dynasty, christy thought she had died and gone to heaven. Well she started the relationship with him with million dollar bills dancing through her head and Richard continued to feed this delusion. When they were married being the capable con man he was, he hit her up for a million dollar loan which he never paid back of course and never intended to pay back. Now I have no empathy for christy because she abandons her husband Billy Joel when he was having financial problems and she only got involved with her third husband because she thought he was filthy stinkin' rich. Well he made off with her dough and she found out by and by that he was not related to this billionaire family and as soon as she had her baby she left him. Now she was supposed to be so in love; as soon as she found out he was broke as joe and had taken her for a cool million, she wanted out. This is the kind of woman she is. She measures her love in dollar bills. Here's a little background on her third husband.
