Love her or hate her, Kim Kardashian is a celebrity with staying power. Her original claim to fame might have been a sex tape scandal, but she's taken that infamy and monetized it like no one's business. Whether she's starring in a reality show, marketing Kim K-themed products, or breaking the internet, the woman knows how to pull focus like no one else.
However, she just can't seem to win in the world of love. Her first marriage was to producer Damon Thomas from 2000 until 2003.

Zsa Zsa Gabor was a Hungarian-American actress known for her stunning good looks and charming personality. Gabor joins her kid sister Eva on this list. Multiple marriages must run in the family.
