No, I am not saying she has any personality...the title of sub-title inserted above the Forbes article was something to the tune of -"Women We Are Jealous Of"
There was a photo of Meg.
I was being sarcastic by titling the post "Blonde Pin-Up" cuz any jealousy would not be derived from her looks or projected personality. The "real people" comment was noting my take on her seemingly lack of connection with the life without billions.
She may? or may not? have a great personality --- it was just my take.

Deur, my comment may have been too local to translate. Around here when you see a young pretty girl with an ugly or old man we say he must have a lot of "personality".
It is a snide comment about about her attraction to his money. The same could be said of of your pin-up comment. I'm sure she looks a lot more attractive to shallow men once they know how much she is worth.
