Pattie Boyd Net Worth $20 Million

Pattie is the oldest of four children born to Colin Ian Langdon Boyd and Diana Frances Boyd. Her family often moved, which resulted in her switching several schools, and also, her parents divorced in 1952. Her mother remarried in 1953, and divorced again, and married Mick Fleetwood, drummer of the rock band Fleetwood Mac.

In 1962, after she received three GCE O level passes, Pattie moved to London, and found her first engagement at the hair salon of Elizabeth Arden as a shampoo girl.

Luckily for Pattie that didn`t last long, as she was influenced by one of her clients to start pursuing a career as a model.

She made her debut appearance in 1962, when she was firstly photographed by David Bailey, and later by Terence Donovan. Also she appeared on the cover of Vogue, which only increased her net worth. To speak further of her accomplishments, she featured on the covers of Italian and UK versions of Vogue in 1969, and she did several commercials, promoting Smith`s crisps. She also launched an acting career, earning several brief roles, but the one was life changing. She was selected to appear in the film “A Hard Day`s Night” (1964), and on set she met George Harrison; two years later the couple was married.

Her personal life is far more interesting than her career, but she certainly found a way to take advantage of her marriages, starting a photographic exhibition of Clapton and Harrison in 2005, entitled “Through the Eye of a Muse”, and since then has held exhibitions across the Europe, Australia, Canada and USA as well, which certainly increased her net worth.

Her marriage to Harrison lasted until 1977, however, they were separated for three years before divorce was official. During her marriage to George, she was exposed to numerous drugs, including LSD and cocaine, however she managed to break away from the substance abuse, and stated reason for their divorce, Gorge`s excessive use of drugs.

While Clapton and Harrison became partners in the late 1960s, collaborating on music, Eric was slowly by certainly falling in love with Pattie, and acknowledged the love for her in the song “Layla”. As her marriage to George began to fall apart, she and Clapton became ever closer, and the couple married two years after she divorced George. However, Boyd wasn`t becoming happier as she started drinking, and Eric was also already had problems with alcohol. They divorced in 1984.

Most recently Boyd married to property developer Rod Weston in 2015, but before they married, the couple was in relationship for around 25 years.

#Quote
1On living in Eric Clapton's country house: "I loved living in the country; that was the best time we had. It was the most staggeringly romantic garden. There was a sadness in the house and garden, a kind of melancholy which was very Eric, in a way, and very creative."
2On touring with Eric Clapton in the 1970s: "Eric would just completely pass out wherever he was sitting, whether it was on the sofa or the floor, because he was saturated with drink. The realisation hit me: 'This isn't fun. He's not having fun'."
3On leaving George Harrison for Eric Clapton in 1974: "In my naivety, I believed everything was all right. He wasn't taking heroin, which I thought was the main addiction for him. But, as it turned out, his drug of choice turned out to be alcohol."
4Eric Clapton showed me this packet of heroin and said: 'Either you come away with me or I will take this'. I was appalled. I grabbed at it and tried to throw it away, but he snatched it back. I turned him down - and, for four years, he became a drug addict. At first, I felt guilt. Then I felt anger because it was totally irrational of him to blame me for something he was probably going to do anyway; it was very selfish and destructive.
5I was a very shy person and, I suppose, easily manipulated. Of course, it's flattering to feel someone desperately wants you, but looking back, it's quite uncomfortable to realise that you were the object of desire. That's quite a passive thing to be.
6"One Christmas, I'd cooked lunch and most people had arrived and I couldn't find Eric. It was snowing outside, and I went out and called him, but I couldn't find him and became concerned. I just imagined him stumbling around in the garden. Anything could have happened." (It turned out that Eric Clapton was asleep on a logpile in the basement.)
7On Eric Clapton's attempts at alcoholism recovery: "It was becoming very difficult. You'd look for the part of the person you know and love, but it was hard to find. I think Eric was worried about his talent totally disappearing if he stopped drinking, which is a common idea among creative people."
8It probably took me six years to get over it, with four years of psychotherapy. My self-esteem was unbelievably low, and I found it really hard to build up relationships because I had been used to difficult people. Anybody who was sweet and nice to me was no challenge.
9On why she became a muse for rock stars: "Maybe it had more to do with them. Perhaps Eric Clapton just wanted what George Harrison had. I don't know - I just think it's amazing we've come through it and we're all still alive."
10On divorcing Eric Clapton: "It was the most difficult thing I ever did in my life. I loved him deeply, but knowing that he was still seeing Conor's mother (Lory Del Santo), I felt there was no role for me. Because he loved me, he believed I would be pleased and happy for him that he had a baby. It was as if I was his best friend; that he could tell me everything without realising how deeply painful this was for me."
11When I was asking George for his (autograph), I said could he sign it for my two sisters as well. He signed his name and put two kisses each for them, but under mine he put seven kisses. I thought he must like me a little.
12I thought he was very good looking and charming." about meeting George for the first time.
13He's very independent and he's breaking out more and more. He's found something stronger than the Beatles, though he still wants them to share it.
14George hardly said hello. When we started filming, I could feel George looking at me and I was a bit embarrassed.
15I just don't want to be the little wife sitting at home. I want to do something worthwhile.
