#10: Ralph and Ricky Lauren

In the enchanting tale of author and artist Ricky Lauren, a lifelong love story unfolds alongside the legendary fashion empire created by her husband, Ralph Lauren, spanning more than half a century. It all began in the seemingly ordinary setting of a doctor’s office back in 1946, where Ricky was diligently holding down the fort as a receptionist.

Their marriage, however, was a chapter that unfolded a bit later, finding its culmination in 1964. It would be some time before Ralph embarked on his iconic journey in the world of fashion, carving out his eponymous brand that would become a global sensation. With a net worth of $7.1 billion, Ralph Lauren relinquished his role as CEO of his fashion empire in 2015; he maintained his prominent position as executive chairman and chief creative officer.
