trophy wives
Decorative wealthy partners
Trophy wives are women married primarily for their youth, beauty, or status value rather than love or companionship.
The term implies the husband is older, wealthy, and treats his wife as a symbol of success—something to display like a trophy.
The phrase carries dismissive connotations toward both parties: He traded in his first wife for a trophy wife half his age.
