The Chicago-born Susan was a beauty queen and Pan Am stewardess before she married John Gutfreund in 1981. The CEO of the Wall Street powerhouse Salomon Bros at the time, Gutfreund was one of the most powerful men in town, and Susan quickly took to the role of trophy wife, throwing lavish parties and nearly melting her Gold Card from overuse. She hasn't been as high-profile since the early '90s, though, when her husband was embroiled in a bond trading scandal, fined $100,000, and banned for life from running a brokerage firm. Still, Susan never became a permanent social pariah and she remains a presence on the socialite scene and charity circuit.
