Strauss-Kahn wife famous in her own write

The New York-born wife of Dominique Strauss-Kahn is no stranger to political scandal — having covered plenty as one of France’s highest-profile journalists.

Anne Sinclair, 62, has been a fixture on the French political scene for decades, first as a radio personality and later as the host of a popular TV news show that ran for 13 years. She’s won four Sept d’or awards, France’s version of the Emmy, and written more than three dozen books.

Born to French-Jewish parents who had fled the Nazis, she’s also the heiress to an art-gallery fortune.

After high school, she left for France, eventually earning a law degree from the University of Paris. She became Strauss-Kahn’s third wife in 1991. They live in a $3 million Georgetown home, which she owns, and have two apartments in Paris and a home in Marrakech, Morocco.

In a recent blog post about Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding, she mused that the young royals should enjoy their happy start — “because the reality of life comes soon enough.”
