Bella Hadid is the next generation of supermodels. She is a regular participant in prestigious fashion shows, photo shoots for fashion publications. The most famous brands collaborate with her, and the girl's profile on Instagram has more than 25 million subscribers. In just a few years, Bella managed to become one of the main stars of the podium. Unsurprisingly, by the age of 22, she had made an impressive fortune, amounting to millions of dollars.
Way to success
Bella certainly owes her fantastic wealth to her modeling career. However, she did not have to achieve fame and success from scratch, since the future star of the catwalks was born in a fairly wealthy family. Her father, Mohamed, is a well-known construction magnate in the United States with a personal fortune of over $ 100 million. Bella's mom Yolanda is a former model and participant in the reality show about the lives of the rich and famous housewives of Beverly Hills.
Despite the divorce, the Hadid couple tried to give their three children a good start in life. Many ill-wishers are still convinced that Bella, as well as her older sister Gigi and younger brother Anwar, got into the fashion industry only thanks to the patronage of their parents. Of course, designers and advertisers were interested in cooperation with the stellar offspring, but the Hadid sisters, among other things, led to their worldwide success by a long and hard work on themselves.
For example, Bella and Gigi, who did not have ideal model proportions at the beginning of their careers, eventually managed to bring their figures to perfection. In recent years, both girls have successfully represented the famous Victoria's Secret lingerie brand.
Bella started her modeling career at the age of 16. After a series of successful photo shoots that appeared on the pages of glossy publications, Hadid signed a contract with the famous agency IMG Models. For the sake of a career in 2014, she even interrupted her studies at a private college Parsons, where she learned the basics of the art of photography. In the fall, the aspiring model debuted at New York Fashion Week. In just a couple of years, Bella managed to take part in the shows of Tommy Hilfiger, Moschino, Chanel, Balmain, Versace, Topshop, Missoni, Marc Jacobs, Philipp Plein and other famous brands.
The model first appeared on the cover of Jalouse magazine. This experience was followed by articles and photo sessions for both the youth publications Seventeen, Teen Vogue and the cult ones - Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar.
Model career and income
For advertising and photo shoots, Bella often stars in the company of her older sister Gigi. Despite the kinship and minimal age difference, the girls do not have external similarities and perfectly complement each other in the frame. In addition, the Hadid sisters maintain friendly relations with another successful model - Kendall Jenner, who also grew up in a stellar family and has known them since childhood.
Bella Hadid was first recognized for her professional success when she won the Model of the Year award at the Second Annual Los Angeles Fashion Awards in 2016. It is not surprising that with the growth of popularity, her earnings have increased significantly. For example, in the same year at Fashion Week in Australia, the girl received 11 thousand dollars per hour, and in total she took about 300 thousand from a distant continent.
In 2017, Forbes magazine ranked Bella as the ninth highest-paid model in the world. According to the editorial office, its annual income was $ 6 million. By the way, her older sister Gigi was in fifth place with an earnings of $ 9.5 million.
Among Bella's main achievements at the moment is participation in three Victoria’s Secret Fashion shows, where any model dreams of getting. However, after her debut on the lingerie show, the girl was harshly criticized on the Internet. Users scolded her for her appearance and figure, which was different from fashionable standards. For a whole year, Hadid worked hard on herself and at the next performance received many compliments.
In addition to regularly participating in shows, the in-demand model has long-term contracts with the sports brand Nike, the Boghossian jewelry company, the Swiss watch brand TAG Heuer, the Dior cosmetics line and the ice cream manufacturer Magnum.
Personal condition and competition with a sister
Additional income for Bella comes from her personal Instagram page. The number of subscribers of the model exceeds 25 million, so she receives many offers of cooperation. Although the girl is not the record holder for earnings on Instagram, the cost of her advertising post starts at $ 30 thousand. It is worth noting that Gigi Hadid receives ten times more for her services.
In 2018, the sisters reappeared in the Forbes ranking. Bella's annual income was $ 8.5 million, which put her in 8th place, ahead of Joan Smalls. Gigi came in seventh place with an earnings of 9.5 million.
Obviously, the eldest of the sisters, Hadid, is so far ahead of the youngest in terms of popularity and size of fees. However, Bella does not consider competing with Gigi as a priority in her career. “We have no reason to be angry with each other or to compete,” she says calmly.
Several years ago, experts estimated Bella Hadid's personal fortune at $ 12-13 million. However, the increased earnings allowed her to double this amount very quickly. By 2019, the 22-year-old model has around 25 million in her bank account.
Bella's longtime lover, singer Weeknd, has earned several times more than her so far. The musician's personal fortune is estimated at $ 90 million. This couple can certainly be called one of the richest in the world of show business. However, Hadid has every chance to increase his wealth. Indeed, in 2019 she will be only 23 years old, and the real stars of the catwalks, as a rule, successfully continue their careers up to 35-40 years.
