JONATHAN ADLER & SIMON DOONAN

Jonathan Adler discovered an interest in pottery at an early age. When he attended college at Brown University, he spent a lot of his time at the Rhode Island School of Design to further enhance his skill in making pots. His skill in investment planning helped him become a full-time production potter and expand into a design business.

He tied the knot with his partner of 14 years, Simon Doonan, in September 2008. Simon Doonan is a fashion designer who works for Barneys in New York City. He also writes a style column for the online magazine Slate. With an apartment in Greenwich Village and a house on Shelter Island, this couple probably doesn’t need to worry about home loans anytime soon.
