What is a trophy husband?

A trophy husband is a term used to describe a man who is married to a successful, wealthy, or powerful woman, primarily for their physical appearance or assets. The term is the male counterpart to a "trophy wife", which refers to a woman who is married for similar reasons. Trophy husbands are often seen as being kept or maintained by their wealthy spouses, with their main role being to display them as a status symbol.

Trophy husbands may be perceived as lacking ambition, drive, or financial independence, as they are often supported by their spouse's wealth. They are sometimes stereotyped as being only interested in material possessions, looks, and luxury lifestyles.

It is important to note that not all marriages where one partner is more financially successful than the other fit this stereotype. Relationships should be based on mutual respect, love, and support rather than on superficial factors like wealth or appearance.
