Hinze hubby's fortune is safe as houses Kristy Hinze / Pic: Sam Ruttyn Source: The Daily Telegraph SPARE a thought for Kristy Hinze, who has headed home to the US to go house hunting with her husband Jim Clark. Five years ago, when Hinze started romancing the Netscape and Silicon Graphics founder, Clark, 68, was worth about $1.5 billion and his net worth was soaring skywards. But with the economic crash of 2008, Clark's fortune started evaporating. Fast. By 2009, he had lost hundreds of millions - an estimated 40 per cent of his wealth - and was dropped from Forbes Magazine's prestigious billionaires' list. It must have come as a shock to both Clark and his new bride Hinze, his third wife and 36 years his junior. It has taken Clark five years to recover but he has once again made the nine-figure list. This must come as some relief to Queenslander Hinze, who, with Clark, is looking to expand their property portfolio with a home in California. Smile Kristy. You've a billion reasons to.
