...friends” and you’ll find what is no less than Earth’s Hall of Fame. No, I’m not talking about the photos of Chris Rix with Coach Bobby Bowden.

By 1979, blind ambition catapulted her to the editorship of Cosmopolitan en Espa??ol. In 1983, she met and later married Marcos Avila, a ponytailed bassist for Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine who became her manager. She started her own TV show in 1989. Avila says he doesn't know the dollar worth of his wife or their business, Cristina Saralegui Enterprises, though he acknowledges it is in the millions of dollars. "This...
