Attempting to estimate what supermodels have created the most lucrative careers and the most successful branding is a challenge. Are supermodels more successful after jumping from modeling to acting? What about after landing a successful reality or talk show on television? Even appearing on a multitude of magazine covers seems to be a way to earn extra fame. Luckily, Celebrity Networth is willing to figure out the correct formula for post-modeling success, and as it turns out, a combination of years of experience and a willingness to attempt new things is what makes the big fish fatter.
Currently, Kathy Ireland is the wealthiest supermodel in the world. She started earning her dollars appearing in Sports Illustrated in the eighties. After appearing on Boy Meets World as a shady modeling agency owner, as well as jumping into some other small acting gigs, including a stint on Dancing with the Stars, the former supermodel set her sights on business, where she dominated with a line for Kmart, eventually creating the marketing firm Kathy Ireland World Wide, an impressive set of endeavors that have led Ireland to a net worth of 350 million dollars.
When we often consider supermodel success, we think about those who have maintained a large presence in the public eye, people like Tyra Banks, who at $90 million, are not badly off. However, if Celebrity Networth’s numbers can even remotely be relied on, Ireland has become a formidable force in the business world.
