He is almost certainly looking for contract in excess of $100M with the promise of endorsement opportunities at about the same level. The wife of a guy pulling ~$30M / year isn't opening a Bar that will probably net her 100s of thousands / year as a business. She is doing it as a hobby and like all hobbies if you can afford the startup costs (see her husbands salary), then the hobby is portable.
I doubt it weights on their decision much at all.
She is also an interior designer by trade, so her interest in the bar was probably more related setting it up and making it look pretty than running it. At the end of the day she'd probably be happier with a blank piece of paper and a new bar location than running the bar in perpetuity. But that's just speculation.
