Kathy Ireland – Kathy Ireland Named Richest Model In The World

February 28, 2012 Joshua 0 Comments

Kathy Ireland has been named as the richest model in the world after amassing a wealth estimated at some $350 million according to wealth aggregator Forbes. The term “big figure” isn’t readily associated with models, but such numbers have been enough for Celebrity Net Worth to place the 48 year-old at the top of the pile.

Discovered aged 17 by the Elite Model Management company, Ireland was already working as a model by the time she graduated from high school in 1981. During her career as a model she was most synonymous with the magazine Sports Illustrated, appearing in its famous swimsuit issue 13 times in a row between 1983 and 1996, and appearing on the front cover three times – tying a record held by Christie Brinkley and Cheryl Tiegs. An issue that traditionally boosts the profile of those on the cover immeasurably – with everyone from Tyra Banks to Heidi Klum having featured – it’s a feat that is far from insubstantial.

As a business woman however Ireland has been equally successfully, Ireland making her first move as an entrepreneur in 1993 by launching her own line of socks through Kmart, proving so successful that they ended up working together on a full clothing line. She has since gone on to set up her own company Kathy Ireland Worldwide which now sells products at over 60,000 worldwide locations in 15 countries.

Kathy Ireland is THE REAL DEAL! She is one of the best role models for any woman of any age! She is devoted to her faith, a pro-life activist and actually agreed to have her last child against the advice of doctors who told her that her unborn child suffered from Down’s Syndrome. The baby was born normal. She is married to a very handsome Doctor named Greg Olson who is renowned in his field and is a major pro-life supporter as well. There are so many imposters and frauds out there that it would make your head spin! She is genuine through and through. Follow her path and it will surely lead YOU to the path to prosperity as well. The moment you cut out the negative energy in your life, wonderful things begin to happen! The universe brings back to you what you give out to others. This woman is one in a million!
