This article is an a fantastic read. I wouldn't be surprised if some day they make a movie about Karren Brady. NY Times (free) registration required.

Wasn't there a British sitcom which had a premise similar to her story?
Seriously, two things stood out:
"Her fellow executives, known as managing directors, recently named her to represent all of the clubs in critical negotiations with a television network that provides much of the revenue they need to stay in operation."
"[...] buy and sell her own husband, a forward, twice. How tough was that? "We've actually made over one million pounds on him, which is quite good," she said." :)

That's way more than our wives are going to get for any of us. She must be doing something right.
