Mariah Carey
Mimi was only 24 when she married music mogul and her boss at Sony Records, Tommy Mottola. Her 43-year-old husband served as her Svengali, guiding her to the top of pop royalty but behind the scenes, Mariah has since confessed that their marriage was anything but majestic. She dreamed of being kidnapped and resented his influence over everything she did. The duo divorced in 1997, but she accused him of still trying to control her even after their break up.
