Billionaire Google boss Eric Schmidt is fiercely protective over his colorful and complex private life which includes a string of affairs.
In the past few years and despite his marriage to wife Wendy, Schmidt has had relationships with a series of younger women, including a vivacious television host who dubbed him ‘Dr Strangelove,' a leggy blonde public relations executive and a sexy Vietnamese concert pianist.
Now details have emerged that 58-year-old Schmidt has splashed out $15 million on a sprawling Manhattan penthouse in the trendy Flatiron District to be close to at least two of his female friends.
Schmidt has been seeing at least two New York-based women in Lisa Shields, an executive on the Council on Foreign Relations, and Vietnamese pianist Chau-Giang Thi Nguyen.
The glamorous love-nest was featured in Oliver Stone’s ‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps’ movie as the crash pad for Shia LaBeouf’s character.
So fiercely protective is Schmidt of his own - and his guests privacy - that he has insisted he doesn't want a doorman.
