Either Husband or Girlfriend: How Marriage to a 93-Year-Old Millionaire ‘Transformed’ a European Woman

Betty Grafstein, 93, is a well-known Portuguese businesswoman. In the early 1990s, after the death of her husband, she took over the family jewelry business. And in 1996, the millionaire married secular partygoer Jose Castela Branco, who rose to fame through outrageous public appearances.

From an early age, Jose enjoyed dressing in women’s dresses and playing female characters on stage. Nevertheless, at the age of 24 he married for the first time – in this marriage the man had an only son.

The subsequent marriage to a diamond millionaire opened up new opportunities for Branco. The man’s name began to appear frequently in the press. And that’s just not had time to do in recent years! Branco wrote a book about his life, released a music album, had his own reality TV show, and even ran for government. Well, most of the time he transformed his appearance. After all, that’s why José is so talked about.

Apparently, the influential wife supports all Portuguese beauty experiments. And he sees nothing reprehensible in the fact that with each new manipulation he looks more and more like a woman.

By the way, Betty herself is a big fan of aesthetic medicine. At her advanced age, she looks much younger. And from time to time still attends social events.
