When we think sugar daddy, celeb hot shots like Hugh Hefner and Donald Trump come to mind first. Fortunately, the Hugh-and-crew type are the lost age of sugar daddy celebrities. Rather, these couples are great examples of modern-day sugar daddy's and speak volumes to why we should rid the gold digger stereotype many still carry around.
The sugar daddy of today is indistinguishable from the average guy waiting in line at a Starbucks, explains online matchmaker Brandon Wade. He adds that most of the sugar daddies on his site, Seeking Arrangement, are in their 30s and 40s -- not the older age you might expect. The stereotype of sugar daddies -- think 80-something Howard J. Marshall, late sugar daddy to the also late Anna Nicole Smith -- is quickly being replaced by a new reality. "The stereotype of the filthy-rich old man and the gold-digging girl half his age is utterly outdated," Wade says. His site caters to people seeking mutually beneficial relationships in which both parties have a connection beyond sex and money, rather than one in which an aging sugar daddy is the only one getting something out of the match.
Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones
These love birds own their 25 year gap and dismantle the sugar daddy sterotype by flaunting their happy marriage. They are raising two children together, Dylan and Carys, and live off of both of their careers.
Clint and Dina Eastwood
Also with a 25 year difference, this happy couple puts a stop to sterotypes as they raise their daughter, Morgan, and model a happy marriage.
Tony Bennett and Susan Crow
Tony and Susan dated for 20 years before they tied the knot on their 33 year age gap. The staying power of their relationship proves that age doesn't matter and that terms like gold digger and sugar daddy don't have to go hand in hand. (Photo credit: Lia Toby / WENN)
Hugh Hefner and Holly Madison
Though Hugh's role as a sugar daddy is controversial, his relationship with Holly was the closet he came to proving himself valuable sugar daddy material. Their relationship seemed mutually benefical right up until he couldn't committ.
