He may have had more than one wife, I'm not sure of that.

This is well known. Read any biography of him.

3. Yes he was, and I believe his wife was a businesswoman |

There are living descendents of Mohammed through their daughter Fatima. Mohammed's wife Khadijah was a wealthy widow 15 years older than he, and evidently they loved one another a great deal*. They had two or three sons who died as infants, and four daughters; only Fatima outlived her father.
(*I think it's nice that the Islamic tradition remembers this about her; other wives from history often are given sexist slurs, i.e. Socrates' wife who supported him by working as a midwife is thanked for her troubles by being remembered as "shrewish.")
