John Caudwell, the British billionaire behind Phones4U, has welcomed his seventh child at the age of 70.
Mr Caudwell said his wife, 39-year-old former Olympic cyclist Modesta Vžesniauskaitė, gave birth to Isabella Sky on Monday night.
Not necessarily because they desire to have children at the age of 70. But because top totty goes for men who have money and status. If we had a different type of society, where money did not denote status, it would still be whatever that society used as status which attracted the top totty.
Jus the way humans work.
Although poor and ugly and not yet 70, I must admit I’ve always been lucky with the fairer sex. Friends say it’s the casual way I lick my eyebrow during conversation that may have something to do with it…
The problem with men who have this much money and status is that they can readily overlook the interests of the child when embarking on fatherhood at the age of 70.
On the other hand, men in their seventh decade without either money or status can pose to their children as concentration camp victims and be volubly wrong about any topic they take up.
It’s always the children who suffer as Philip Larkin pointed out.
IIRC correctly, Charlie Chaplin managed to produce a sprog at the age of 84.
Andrew C,
I did hear the act of conception involved the added presence of a younger man and a set of jump leads.
A 39-year-old is most unlikely to qualify as ‘too totty’. Good for her age, passably pretty, sure. Totty stops being top after 30, mostly.
Leo DiCaprio has it about right. Date ’em ’til they’re 25 and then move onto a younger model. 😀
Grist,
That and being able to breath through your ears…
Wouldn’t kick her out of bed for spilling the baby oil…
At the 1865 election Tory officials thought they could damage the 80-year-old Palmerston by spreading the rumour that he had fathered an illegitimate child. “Don’t,” said Disraeli. “He would sweep the country.”
Another one for the Telegraph subs….”spend time on his 73ft yacht”. Not going to get 12 guests and 21 staff onto that!. Thinking 73m more like. Sort of sweet that no-one thought this a tad small?
