Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt, 69, and wife Wendy are the picture of happiness as they attend star-studded bash together - after billionaire gave his 30-year-old 'girlfriend' $100M for her business amid reports he's in an 'open' marriage

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, 69, has been pictured attending a star-studded bash with his wife, Wendy - after he invested $100 million to a AI startup run by his rumored girlfriend Michelle Ritter, who is more than 30 years his junior.

On Saturday, Eric and Wendy seemed happy as ever while attending the Obamas' White House interior designer Michael S. Smith's celebrity-studded 60th birthday, five years after it was first reported that the married couple were in an 'open' relationship. 

Eric was branded New York City's 'hottest bachelor' after he and wife, Wendy, 68, were reported to have entered an 'open arrangement,' according to a New York Post piece in 2019.

In 2021, it was then reported that Eric, who is worth an estimated $25.1 billion, had entered a relationship with Michelle Ritter, a Columbia Law graduate.

Just a year ago, it was reported that Eric was a 'very, very active' chairman in Michelle's tech company, Steel Perlot, even plowing more than $100 million into the company, Forbes reported.

The former Google CEO and his wife also shared an intimate moment when she placed a hand on his back outside the party. 

Eric sported a pair of navy pants with a grey sweater and a navy blazer. He matched the look with a pair of black dress shoes. 

Wendy kept it chic as she wowed in a blue tweed dress. 

The 68-year-old - who has been married to the Google mogul for 40 years - accessorized with a pair of nude heels and a white purse. 

She let her platinum blonde locks fall down her shoulders. 

The star-studded event marks the first time the couple has been seen since reports that Eric handed more than $100 million to help fund Michelle's business. 

According to Forbes, in 2023, the former Google chairman, began overseeing a vast number of companies - with one of them belonging to his rumored lover Michelle.

He handed over the staggering amount of funds to his younger girlfriend to help the startup accelerator called Steel Perlot, of which Eric was chairman.

At the time, Michelle told Forbes: 'He is a very, very active chairman. We have a very typical CEO-chairman relationship.'

Despite remaining married to Wendy for more than four decades, the former Google CEO has made headlines in recent years for his numerous love affairs with younger women.

However, his pay up to Michelle marked the first time he entered a business deal with one of his partners.

In 2021, he was spotted with Michelle on a romantic getaway in New Mexico.
