Question about an alternate history involving a celebrity now deceased. |
|
Five days before his wedding and official marriage with Anna Nicole Smith, wealthy Texan Howard Marshall II quietly gives away all of his securities except for some bonds that pay $1500 per month and also gives away all his money in bank accounts except for $9000 (i.e. 6 months of what the bonds pay).
Would she have divorced him on the grounds that "for richer or poorer" is just rhetoric?
Whether or not she would have divorced him, would she be alive today?

1. There are several alternate histories branching from the one you've just described. |

2. Please, just pick an interesting one that's not too difficult to explain. |

3. I like the one where Anna becomes controller of the Peeps candy empire. |

And uses it as a springboard to control our mass media, finalizing her plot to remove the word "the" from the English language.
This takes several years, so I'm simplifying as you requested.
