Cynthia Ann Crawford was born on 20th February 1966, in DeKalb, Illinois, USA of French, English and German descent, reputedly including royalty as far back as Charlemagne. She is a widely recognised supermodel known under the name of Cindy Crawford. It is very easy to recognise her from a number of other models as she has a beauty spot just above her upper lip which became the trademark of Crawford. She has been accumulating her net worth since 1987.
Modelling is the main source of her net worth. In fact, she was titled the highest paid model in the world by Forbes. Reportedly, the net worth of Cindy Crawford stands at $100 million.

Cindy was encouraged to try modelling when she received a positive feedback of her photo made while detasseling corn. She gained confidence to participate in the contest of the Elite Model Management’s Look in which she became the runner up. Afterwards, she signed to Elite Model Management in Chicago. Following education at DeKalb High School she received a scholarship for chemical engineering studies at Northwestern University, but quickly dropped out with a view to pursuing her burgeoning career as a model. Indeed, it was the right decision as she managed to become one of the best supermodels on the planet that has added a lot of revenues to the overall size of Cindy Crawford’s net worth.
Cindy was the most wanted and the most popular model for almost two decades in 1980’s and 1990’s. Just very rare and very exclusive models can be at the apex of their career for such a long time, and being 1.75 m height and having perfect body measurements of 86-65-91 cm she was perfectly suited for modelling. Cindy has cat-walked for the most luxurious brands as well as appeared on the covers of such popular magazines as Allure, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, People and others. She has been the face of Maybelline, Omega, Revlon, Gianni Versace and others. Undoubtedly, work with the most luxurious brands, designers and magazines has added financial success to the net worth of Cindy Crawford.
It is not a coincidence that Cindy has appeared in television production, feature films and music videos as models are often invited to participate in various plays. Cindy was the host of the television program “MTV’s House of Style” (1989 – 1995), and has appeared in episodes of various series including “3rd Rock from the Sun” (1998), “The Secret World of… Supermodels” (1998), “According to Jim” (2002), “Wizards of Waverly Place” (2009) and “Cougar Town” (2015). Of course all added to her net worth.
Documentary films about the life of Cindy Crawford have also been created, for example “Unzipped” (1995), “Catwalk” (1995) and “Beautopia” (1998). In addition to these, Cindy has appeared in a number of fitness videos, as well as music videos of such artists as Jon Bon Jovi, Duran Duran, George Michael and others. All the above mentioned appearances have increased the net worth of Cindy Crawford, too.
In 2000, Cindy announced her retirement from modelling, but she has since launched a beauty product line, and a furniture line too, which have also added to Cindy Crawford’s net worth.
To give some facts about her private life, in 1991 she married the actor Richard Gere, but they divorced in 1995. Since 1998, Cindy has been married to the former model and now businessman Rande Gerber; she is the mother of their two children.
