Mid-life extramarital affairs are often aided and abetted by power and wealth, but their universal cause goes much deeper. And women from different cultures tend to cope differently.

The revelations of Dominique Strauss-Kahn's arrest and Arnold Schwarzenegger's love child were big news in the West, yet they were totally eclipsed in China by Wang Gongquan wanting to dump his wife for a younger woman.

"Wang who?" you might ask. Well, we asked the same question as Wang Gongquan was not exactly a household name. It turns out he is a wealthy venture capitalist with billions of yuan in assets, which he said he is willing to give up for a chance to live with the woman he loves, a billionaire in her own right.
