Larry King’s Wife: In It For The Money?

They’ve had their dirty marital laundry aired out in the public as of late, but Larry King was receiving warnings from his friends about his wife Shawn long ago.

According to a report, the CNN host, who is 26 years his wife’s senior, has been very generous with his considerable wealth and that was what drew Shawn to him.

King’s sixth wife Julia Alexander-King told press, “Everyone outside of Larry knew what Shawn’s designs were going in. A lot of people tried to warn him.”

Now Shawn is threatening to divorce Larry (they have no prenup) for buying her sister some lavish gifts. King’s attorney announced that they won’t be filing any paperwork for two weeks while they try to work things out.
