Age Is Just A Number For Her

After getting married at 22, Maye shared that she endured domestic violence for nine long years and left the marriage with nothing at 31. Despite being alone, she raised the three kids on her own, all making billions. “People think I’m positive and fun. But I had to talk about what I endured,” she said in an interview.

Talking about the abuse she went through in a past interview, she said, “Everybody I knew called him ‘the Pig’ because he treated me so badly in public. And I was too scared to tell anyone [about the deeper violence]. Like every abused woman, I was embarrassed, and I knew I had made a mistake, you know?”Recalling the emotional abuse she went through, she said, “He told me over and over that I was stupid, ugly, boring. He was very rich, but he made sure I had nothing. Once the kids were living with me, they visited their father some weekends. He would throw out everything they arrived with, so I had to buy them all new clothes and school things. Then he’d sue me and say that I was unfit to parent. He saw a blister on Tosca’s mouth and said I was malnourishing her. He saw a bruise on Kimbal’s arm— imagine, an active little boy with a bruise!—and said I was beating him.”However, Maye did not let it affect her growth and became more determined to raise her kids. Her kids too became a great support. In her book, she writes that 5-year-old Elon tried to stop his father from beating Maye by hitting him on the knees.
