Jim Clark, the co-founder of Silicon Graphics and Netscape, might be a wizard when it comes to technology but there are serious doubts over his ability to deal with more mundane issues of the flesh. After his third divorce he reportedly swore off marriage in the future to concentrate on business and sailing, but all that has changed.
The 64 year old has tied the knot with his new blushing bride, Australian model Kristy Hinze, 28. The four day wedding celebrations took place on Richard Branson's Necker Island and were followed up today by celebrations for Clark's 65th birthday.
The new Mrs Clark, a former Sports Illustrated and Victoria's Secret swimsuit model, has been reported as saying she first became attracted to billionaire Clark after discovering his brilliant mind and the fact he was so interesting and handsome. She was 25 at the time.
However, it's unlikely she'll have heard those little words that could mean so much to a new bride: "No prenuptial agreement". Clark got stung for over $120m during his last divorce and swore that if he married again it would be under contract.
