When one is married to a celebrity, people watching can be forgiven for thinking that he or she is feeding off the celebrity’s status. They would probably think that the non-celebrity feels fortunate to be married to a famous figure. While Simon Konecki makes the list of ordinary citizens married to famous people, there is certainly no hint of self-esteem issues or lack of confidence in his appearance. Besides, judging from his career path, he is a celebrity in his own rights.
His superstar-singer wife, Adele is head over heels with him and frequently talks about how he is her biggest encouragement. She is also grateful that he is not threatened by her immense success.
Biography and Career of Simon Konecki
Konecki who is British was born in New York City on April 17, 1974, to his parents, Rosemary and Andrew Konecki. One of the reasons Simon is comfortable being married to a wealthy female celebrity is probably because he grew up in a wealthy home. His parents were well-to-do and were rumored to own a $1 million home located in Boca Raton, Florida. He would eventually leave for the UK when he was ten years old for academic purposes. While his sisters, Alexandra and Victoria opted for Princess Anne’s Alma mater, Simon Konecki chose to attend Eton College, a prestigious and independent boarding school for boys in Berkshire.

He continued to hone his skills and climb the corporate ladder. By the time he was 24 years old, he was managing teams made up of senior brokers at Lehman Brothers.
Apparently, this life was not for Simon as he eventually got tired of the routine. He wanted something more out of life; he wanted to make an impact. This resulted in him quitting his lucrative and promising career to start a green company with this friend, Lucas White. Konecki and Lucas co-found Life Water, a brand of eco-friendly bottled water in the United Kingdom.
He eventually ventured into charity launching Drop4Drop, a non-profit organization committed to providing clean water for the world’s poorest.
