Need to check your definition of Trophy Wife. Here's what I came up with:
Quote:
Trophy wife is an expression used to refer to a wife, usually young and attractive, who is regarded as a status symbol for the husband, who is often older and wealthy.
The use of the term also usually reflects negatively on the character or personality of the husband, and has a connotation of narcissism and desire to impress others, and that the husband would not be able to attract the sexual interest of the attractive woman but for his wealth or position.
It can also be used to imply that the trophy wife in question has little personal merit besides her physical attractiveness, and is sometimes synonymous with the term "gold digger."

As for her activism, Yoko Ono is a very wealthy woman (her net worth is in the vicinity of $500 million), so she doesn't need to invest all of the time, effort, and money into many causes of which she has been a lifelong supporter and activist.
Try visiting her site...

Amazing the energy that she still has at 80 years old...
BTW, I am not defending Yoko Ono's singing voice
although I get what she is doing (I enjoy artsy performers like Laurie Anderson and Meredith Monk, and like some rather strange experimental music, not for the tuneful melodies as much as the performance/message, such as early Zappa, Captain Beefheart, etc).
