Guys, Would You Stress Over a Millionaire Wife?

Having a spouse who makes lots of money might seem like a good thing. But according to a new study of millionaires, wealthy households with a female breadwinner are filled with potential problems. The study , conducted by SEI and Phoenix Marketing, found that a third of the women who are the financial leads in millionaire households say their partner feels “stressed” by their financial roles. By contrast, only 14 percent of males in male-led millionaire households said they feel tension from their partner. Should a man be bothered if his wife makes more money than him? Yes No Vote to see results “When you’re dealing with relationships and money, stress is a given, and when a woman is the primary wealth creator the survey shows it’s even greater,” said Michael Farrell, Managing Director for SEI Private Wealth Management. Sources of financial tension might include spending decisions, savings decisions and investment decisions. Robert Frank CNBC Reporter & Editor The top sources of tension in all wealthy households were kids and money, along with control and charitable giving. Why are women-led millionaire households especially stressed? The study doesn’t say. And there may not be more actual tension. Women, for instance, may simply be more likely to recognize tension in their relationship than men. And many couples with women bread-winners are no doubt perfectly content. Men might feel threatened in women-led homes because in classic gender roles men are the providers. (And if this is the case, the 1,500 men who have applied to marry in China might beware). Either way, female-led millionaire households is likely to become more common. About 22 percent of American marriages have a higher earning wife. Maybe it’s time for guys to get used to wives who make more than they do. Why do you think there are tensions in women-led households?

Report: Whitney Houston’s Family Told She Didn’t Drown

Coroner’s officials are saying they will delay the release of any information on an autopsy performed Sunday on Whitney Houston, but unnamed family sources tell TMZ the singer likely died from a lethal mix of prescription drugs and alcohol, not from drowning.

According to the report, the family was told there was not enough water in Houston’s lungs to qualify that she drowned in a hotel room bathtub on Saturday.

It’s also being reported that Houston’s body will be taken to Atlanta as early as Tuesday for burial. Because no evidence of foul play has been found, the coroner’s office has not objected.

An official announcement on autopsy results has been held at the request of police detectives investigating the singer’s death. Houston was found in the bathtub of her room, but Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter declined to say anything more about the room’s condition or any evidence investigators recovered.

There were no indications of foul play and no obvious signs of trauma on Houston’s body, but officials were not ruling out any causes of death until they have toxicology results, which will likely take weeks to obtain. Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mark Rosen said that his agency may release more details Monday about Houston’s death, but it will depend on whether detectives feel comfortable releasing any information.

Security holds on autopsy results are used in some high-profile Los Angeles cases, with Michael Jackson’s results being withheld for weeks while detectives pieced together the circumstances of his death in June 2009. Toxicology results are frequently necessary before the coroner will release an official cause of death.

A member of Houston’s entourage found the 48-year-old singer unresponsive in her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Saturday, just hours before she was supposed to appear at a pre-Grammy gala.

TMZ is reporting that it was Houston’s aunt, Mary Jones, who first discovered the singer’s body.
