Chrissy Teigen: $75 Million

Who knew that working in a surf shop would lead to a $75 million fortune someday? That’s Chrissy Teigen’s story after her father relocated the family to Huntington Beach, California. After being discovered, Teigen landed her first modeling campaign for Billabong, then appeared as a briefcase model on the game show Deal or No Deal.

Her big break came in 2010 when she appeared in a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue and got chosen as “Rookie of the Year.” Although the bulk of Chrissy’s net worth comes from her modeling gigs, she earns a lot from endorsements, including campaigns for famous brands like XOXO, Rock and Republic, Gillette, Olay, and Nike.
