Ann Carlson Khan Biography

Wife of the Pakistani American Billionaire Shahid Khan

There is a stereotype for Billionaires that they marry multiple times and mostly to someone much younger than them. Well, they cannot blame people for having that myth. After all, many billionaires are currently in their third or fourth marriage with a much younger wife. Donald Trump and George Soros are good examples of that.

Forbes, in an article in 2010, however, debunked that stereotype and stated that most filthy rich men are fairly monogamous. This statement is valid for at least Billionaire Shahid Khan who is only married once. So, who is this lucky lady who won the heart of Khan and became his life partner? Well, it is none other than his college sweetheart, Ann Carlson Khan.
