From 1840 until his death, Brigham Young married a different woman each year on his birthday. By doing this, he ensured himself a young hottie to sleep next to and wasn't forced to grow old with any ONE particular wife.

∙ 14y agoBrigham Young was married to a total of 55 women, however many of these 'marriages' simply meant that Brigham looked after them financially, not that he lived with them. Also, ten divorced him and one died before he was even baptized a member of the Church. It is thought that he lived with and had marriage relationships with 16 of the 55.
