Cindy McCain is one of the most popular and richest Teacher who was born on May 20, 1954 in Phoenix, Arizona, United States. Cindy Lou Hensley McCain (born May 20th 1954) is a famous American woman of business, who is also a philanthropist and humanitarian. Her husband is United States Senator, Vietnam war veteran, and the 2008 Republican presidential candidate John McCain from Arizona and the mother of the television anchor and political commentator Meghan McCain.
Hensley as well as McCain got married on the 17th of May 17th in 1980 in their wedding at the Arizona Biltmore hotel in Phoenix. They entered into a prenuptial contract that kept the bulk of the assets belonging to her family in her name. They separated their finances and also filed separate tax returns.
She was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona as the daughter of wealthy beer distributor Jim Hensley. After receiving bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Southern California, she became a special education teacher. She married John McCain in 1980, and the couple moved to Arizona in 1981, where her husband was elected to the United States Congress the following year and reelected five more times. The couple had three children together, in addition to adopting another. From 1988 to 1995, she founded and operated a nonprofit organization, the American Voluntary Medical Team, which organized trips by medical personnel to disaster-stricken or war-torn third-world areas.
Her father’s business and political contacts helped her new husband to gain a foothold in Arizona politics. She campaigned with her husband door to door during his successful first bid for U.S. Congress in 1982, and was heavily involved in campaign strategy. Her wealth from an expired trust from her parents provided significant loans to the campaign and helped it survive a period of early debt.
Hensley was introduced to John McCain in April 1979 at a reception for military personnel in Hawaii. John McCain had been one of the U.S. Navy liaison officer to the United States Senate and almost 18 years her junior. In her post-mortem she said that each of them fudged their years they claimed they had in relation to each other: “He made himself younger, and I made myself older, of course.”
