The first three were rich, old men that loved her very much and gave her everything she wanted and she exhausted them in bed. After they died, she inherited all their money. The fourth one had a mistress and squandered lots of money in partying. The fifth husband was actually a very violent man, he beat her senseless and did not care whether he pleased her or not. However, he was very good in bed and she loved him very much because of that and because she had to find ways to actually please him.
