Trophy wives in tech used to be exactly like trophy wives in any other context, or like any other expensive item: to have and to hold til death (or a mistress) do them part. The new tech trophy wife, however, is a little different. Amazingly described by @PennyRed on Twitter, the new tech trophy wife "isn’t the hot young model. It’s the most brilliant, accomplished woman you can get to give up her career to have your kids."
