Etymology


+

Coined 1989 by Julie Connelly in a Fortune magazine cover story, by analogy with a real estate trophy building.
“Powerful men are beginning to demand trophy wives. ... The more money men make, the argument goes, the more self-assured they become, and the easier it is for them to think: I deserve a queen.”

Noun



  1. A wife, usually young and attractive, regarded as a status symbol for the husband, usually older and affluent.
