TV Host Suze Orman comes out of closet

[Balta1701]

Normally, I'd say doing something like this in the NYT takes some balls. But then again, I'm just not sure that's the right metaphor here...so let's just say this takes some metaphorical Balls and leave it at that.

In an interview for The New York Times Magazine this coming Sunday, financial guru and TV host Suze Orman gets on Deborah Solomon's case for not looking out for her own money, partly because "you are a woman." This inspires Solomon to ask Orman if she is married.

 

Orman says she "has a relationship with life," so Solomon presses her, and Suze then reveals that her "life partner" is Kathy Travis and, "We're going on seven years. I have never been with a man in my whole life. I'm still a 55-year-old virgin."

 

Orman says they'd like to get married, and both "have millions of dollars in our name. It's killing me that upon my death, K.T. is going to lose 50 percent of everything I have to estate taxes. Or vice versa."

 

Pressed again, she says that estimates that she is worth $25 million are "pretty close."

 

She says she has about a million dollars in the stock exchange, because if she loses it all "I don't personally care."
