In 1921, she married the banker James Irving Bush, 14 years her senior, said to be the " handsomest man in America ". They divorced in Paris in 1925. On July 2, 1926, Mona married Harrison Williams, a widower 24 years her senior. Williams was the richest man in America with an estimated fortune of $600 million ($8, 000, 000, 000 in today dollars), made in financing public utilities. They kept in Italy the villa Il Fortino overlooking Capri 's Marina Grande . In 1933, Mona was named " The Best Dressed Woman in the World " by Chanel, Molyneux, Vionnet, Lelong, and Lanvin, becoming the first American to be so honored.In 1943, Mona's portrait was painted by Salvador Dalí . Williams died in 1953; and in January 1955, Mona married her " secretary " , the homosexual Albrecht Edzard Heinrich Karl Graf von Bismarck-Schönhausen ( 1903 - 1970 ), an interior decorator of an aristocratic sort and the son of Count Herbert von Bismarck and grandson of the German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck . In 1970 Mona was widowed again and in 1971 married Bismarck's physician, Count Umberto de Martini , a nobleman (after Mona acquired a title for him from King Umberto II of Italy), who was 14 years younger than she. It was only after his death in a sports car accident in 1979 that Mona realized that him, like Bismarck, had married her only for her money.
