When people say, 'life is a circus,' they usually mean it as a negative observation. That's never been the case for Claudia Barilla, who's made well over one billion dollars as the chief executive officer of Cirque du Soleil.
Laliberte's wife Claudia Barilla was a swimsuit model when she met Laliberte, so it's no wonder he was so enamored with her. She's since given that profession up in favor of running the One Drop Foundation. It's a charity which combines circus art with children's education.
