Beauties and IT specialists: stars are now falling in love with startups and "nerds"
Once upon a time, the personal relationships of celebrities were monotonous: actresses and supermodels met mostly with actors and rock stars. But bad guys are bad habits: they smoke a lot, hang out at parties, take drugs and can cheat.
New rock stars are "nerds" who do business: founders of popular websites and successful companies. Now these tech geniuses and millionaires manage to be playboys as well. However, they have quirks of a different property: it can be a round-the-clock job, vegetarianism or waking up at four in the morning. But they are smart, talented and, what's more, rich — it's not surprising that they attract the most desirable women in the world.
