What a time to be a nerd
By Jordan Barnes
FORGET swanky bars, rock and roll stars and the Johnny Depps of the world.
Want to date some of the world’s most desirable women?
Simple. Head to Silicon Valley, San Francisco; start a tech firm, become a millionaire CEO; bag yourself a date via a well-constructed email.
Take Elon Musk, for example.
The brains behind Telsa is worth US$14 billion (RM61.2 billion) and is the genius behind the plan to establish a human colony on Mars.
He is now dating blonde Hollywood beauty Amber Heard. The actress recently uploaded a selfie with Musk after planting a lipstick smooch on his cheek.
The pair are reportedly smitten and have been friends for several years. Musk struck up a friendship with Heard during the 2013 film Machete Kills in which she acted in and he had a cameo.
Though they did not share a scene, an infatuated Musk emailed director Robert Rodriguez to set up a meeting with Heard because she seemed like an interesting person.
Heard divorced Depp earlier this year amid claims of physical abuse while Musk is three times divorced.
Undoubtedly, they are the current ‘It couple’.
But Musk and Heard are not the only beauty and geek pair in town, check out the chemistry between these stars and their nerdy partners.
SERENA WILLIAMS
Engaged to: Alexis Ohanian
The Reddit co-founder aced his marriage proposal to 23-time Grand Slam champion last December.
Over the weekend they announced they were expecting their fi rst child.
MIRANDA KERR
Engaged to: Evan Spiegel
The Snapchat founder began dating Aussie model Kerr in 2015 and the pair got engaged last July.
The question is, will they bother with a photo album or just upload the wedding as a story on social media app?
EMMA WATSON
Dating: William “Mack” Knight
Beauty and the Beast star’s tech-savvy boyfriend is senior manager of start-up Medallia, a not very magical-sounding software company.
He is perfect for the brainy and bookish Brown and Oxford graduate.
KARLIE KLOSS Dating: Joshua Kushner
A slightly trendier capital investor, Kushner has been with supermodel and Victoria’s Secret Angel Kloss for fi ve years.
Kushner’s older brother Jared is senior advisor to President Donald Trump. Talk about a power couple!
