<p>I acknowledge Quincy Jones is amazingly talented and focused- but I also see him as lonely, because just like when raising children, in a relationship, “quality time” is often oxymoron- IMO.
Relationships mean the most when you feel really * known*, how can you know someone when you are not only a workaholic, but you are dating 17 other people?</p>
<p>Basketball player Wilt Chamberlain claimed to have had relations with 20,000 women. There are many wealth middle east business and political leaders with 18 wives or more.</p>
<p>This is a little surprising, given that the Qu’ran pretty explicitly limits the number of wives a man may have to four. Since both divorce and capital punishment are fairly easy to obtain, I suppose a man willing to work the system could accumulate 18 wives over time legally, much like Henry VIII had six wives. But I doubt it’s very common.</p>
<p>Well I have to wonder if he has pet names for them- or how he keeps their names straight.
I know my TWO kids get irritated if I call one by the other’s name.

<p>I think multiple wives is different.
Those women have a job to do- propagating ( preferably sons), & I would bet that Q, isn’t interested in having any more children.</p>
