'I'm so lucky' Joan Collins, 89, says husband Percy, 56, 'takes care of all her finances'
Joan Collins, 89, has an estimated net worth of $20 million (£17.05 million) but she feels completely comfortable handing the reins to her husband when it comes to family finances.The actress extraordinaire revealed in a new interview that he "takes care of everything"."He takes care of my children and all our finances.
He’s the love of my life," she declared.Although Percy is 33 years her junior, she says their arrangement works perfectly - and that they rarely row about anything."Of course, we have our little spats like other couples might do, but we’ve both got our safe spaces," The Loss Adjuster star revealed.She admits she withdraws to her vast walk-in wardrobe to indulge in some fashion therapy when things get tough, while Percy retreats to his office.The pair also have separate bathrooms, which Joan acknowledges is a privilege not everyone can afford.In spite of handing over control of her money to Percy, Joan regards herself as a feminist and a "powerful" woman.However there's one topic she isn't keen on anyone broaching - her age.Declaring it "tremendously rude" to ask about it, she told Saga Magazine: "My mother's generation never did it."Meanwhile Joan also has an axe to grind with those who brand her a "super-b***h", based on her portrayal of Alexis Carrington in Dynasty.Dismissing their claims as "fantasy", she asserted: "I think it's utterly ridiculous that powerful, resilient women are portrayed as dangerous."She added to Saga Magazine that in her experience, "It's the predatory men who are the real threat."Joan seems to have had more than her fair share of traumatic experiences with men, as detailed in her autobiography Passion for Life.In fact, it wasn't until her fifth marriage that she found the man.
