What he does: Founder of Harbinger Capital (Hedge Fund)
Net Worth: $1.1 Billion
The Falcone family has a true, rags-to-riches story. The Minnesota born, one-time hockey player, escaped his small, iron-ore mining town to become one of the most highly paid hedge-fund managers in the world. His wife, Lisa Marie Falcone, is a former model who was raised by a single mom on welfare in Spanish Harlem. But these days, by their dominance in the NYC scene, you would never be able to guess the Falcone's past. Since moving to the city, Philip has taken over Wall Street and Lisa's become one of the staple figures in UES society.

This is the most sexist and disappointing "article" I've seen in a while. Many of these women are as -if not more- accomplished than are their finance boyfriends/spouses. Positioning this piece as "men who make a lot of money and the hot women they snagged" is insulting and objectifying to these women and women everywhere. Why not a "Ten Gorgeous NYC Power Couples"or something of that nature? You also seem to have forgotten about the multitudes of highly successful women in NYC finance, or the many "finance power couples" out there. Come on, guys, you know you can do better than this. Very disappointing.
