Karolina Kurkova's Net Worth as of 2024
10 Million

Karolína Kurková was born on 28 February 1985, in Decin, now in the Czech Republic, into a Czech and Slovak (mother) family, and is one of the most sought-after models in the fashion world, perhaps best known for being one of Victoria’s Secret Angels from 2005-09.

So just how rich is Karolina Kukova? Sources estimate that Karolina’s net worth is over $10 million, accumulated largely from her modelling career now spanning more than 15 years, with contributions from her acting and TV appearances during the last few years.

Initially Karolina was thought too tall at 1m 80cm to be a model, but is actually sought-after because of her height and the apparently ideal proportions of her physique, as described by noted photographer Mario Testino. At the age of 15 she debuted on the catwalk, and appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine, an impressive start to her career, including her net worth.

Success continued, consistently, for Karolina, as she moved to New York in 2000, and was almost immediately chosen by Victoria’s Secret for their annual Fashion Show, then a web-cast in the USA, but extremely popular – this of course guaranteed wide exposure for the young model, and in turn a steadily rising net worth.

Subsequently Kurková signed contracts with many noted fashion houses, such as Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren Versace, Christian Dior, Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent among many others. Perhaps her crowning glory at this time was being chosen by Victoria’s Secret to wear the fantasy bra, “Star of Victoria” valued at $10 million in their 2002 Fashion Show. Of course, Karolina’s net worth was looking very healthy.

Concurrently, Karolina was also associated with many campaigns in print, for such companies as Tommy Hilfiger, Chanel, Valentino, Hugo Boss and John Galliano. Her work experience reads like a ‘who’s who’ of the fashion and jewellery industries, so it is not surprising that her net worth has benefited by as much as $6 million in several of these years.

Clearly her career was at the top of the modelling fraternity, indeed she was hardly ever out of work, in fact being praised for her work ethic by Vogue at their 2002 Fashion Awards, being named ‘Model of the Year’. If further evidence is needed of Karolina’s success, she has been featured on the covers of Vogue editions worldwide, as well as in Vanity Fair, The Face and Elle international magazine editions.

Switching to acting, Karolina debuted in 2007, in “My Sexiest Year’, and then in 2009 in“GI Joe: the Rise of the Cobra”, she played Courtney A. Kreiger/Cover Girl. On TV, she has been a judge in “America’s Next Top Model”, and similarly in the German version.

In her personal life, Karolina Kurkova married Archie Drury in 2009, with whom she has a son, and as of late 2015 is expecting a second child; they currently live in New York. Karolina has suffered from hypothyroidism, which plays havoc with her weight, but apparently has had little effect on her career. Karolina is also a noted philanthropist, receiving awards for her humanitarian work, in particular concerning child welfare.

Kathryn Calhoun Dennis was born on the 5th August 1992, in Charleston, South Carolina, USA, and she is recognized for being a model, but probably best known as a reality television personality, appearing as a girlfriend of Thomas Ravenel in the hit reality TV series entitled “Southern Charm” (2014-present), which airs on the Bravo channel.

Have you ever wondered how rich is Kathryn Dennis, as of early 2016? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Kathryn’s net worth is $600,000, earned through her modeling career as well as her appearances in the entertainment industry as a TV personality.

Kathryn Dennis Net Worth $600,000

Kathryn Dennis spent her childhood on Lewisfield Plantation in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, the daughter of Luke and Allison Dennis. Her grandfather is Rembert Dennis, a retired state senator, and she is also related to John C. Calhoun, a politician who was the Vice- President of the United States under Adams and Jackson. Kathryn attended Berkeley High School and then enrolled at the University of South Carolina to study political science and mass communications, graduating in 2013. Right after college, she began to pursue a career in politics, as she began completing her internship with the South Carolina Lieutenant Governor. However, she soon met Whitney Sudler-Smith, a TV and film producer, who introduced her to Thomas Ravenel, which changed her life completely, personally and professionally, as through him she became a guest member of the cast for the first season of the Bravo TV reality series “Southern Charm”, which added somewhat to her net worth. However, as her relationship with Thomas became more serious, she became a member of the main cast for the second season, increasing further her overall net worth and exposure to the public. She is also planned to appear for the third season of the show, which will be premiered on the 4th April.

Apart from her career as a TV personality, Kathryn has also worked as a model since she was 14 years old, and is currently a member of the Model Mayhem website. So far, Kathryn has collaborated with Lauren Moser, Travis Teate, Parkside Wedding Studio, Moore Photography, Crystal Driggers, among many others, all of which has added to her overall net worth.

Undoubtedly, Kathryn`s net worth will become greater in the forthcoming years, assuming that she successfully continues her career in the entertainment and modelling industries.

When it comes to her personal life, Kathryn Dennis has been in a relationship with Thomas Ravenel, the state treasurer of South Carolina, and who is 29 years older than her. The couple has two children, daughter, Kensington Calhoun Ravenel, born in 2014, and a son St. Julien Rembert Ravenel, born in 2015, however, latest information is that Kathryn and Thomas have separated for unspecified reasons – no doubt the gossip columnists are having a field day!

Angela Bowie was born as Mary Angela Barnett on the 25th September 1949, in Ayios Dhometios, Nicosia Cyprus, and is an American journalist, actress, and former model, but perhaps best known as the wife of legendary singer David Bowie. Angela’s career started in 1970.

Have you ever wondered how rich Angela Bowie is, as of mid- 2017? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Bowie’s net worth is as high as $10 million, an amount earned largely thanks to her divorce David Bowie, as he left her a lot of money. In addition, Angela has also worked as an actress and journalist, which improved her wealth.

Angela Bowie Net Worth $10 Million

Angela Bowie was a daughter of Helena Maria Galas Barnett and Col. George M. Barnett, a US Army veteran, and grew up in Cyprus with her older brother. Angela studied in Cyprus, Switzerland, and at Kingston Polytechnic in the UK, and then moved to Connecticut College, but she was expelled after ‘same sex’ scandal.

After she had married David Bowie, Angela began appearing in various television shows such as “The Tonight Show” (1973), hosted by Johnny Carson, and “The Mike Douglas Show” (1975). In the meantime, Bowie auctioned for the role of Wonder Woman, but lost the part because she refused to wear a bra. In 1975, Angela had an unsuccessful business idea when she bought the television rights from Marvel Comics for the characters of Daredevil and Black Woman – she wanted to develop the series about superheroes, and considered playing the part of the Black Widow, but she never secured a studio deal.

In 1981, Bowie published her first book entitled “Free Spirit”, and then wrote a bestseller “Backstage Passes: Life On the Wild Side with David Bowie” in 1993. Along with David Padilla, Jim Durban, D.J. Trance, Morgan Lekcirt and Tom Reich, Angela released a CD maxi-single “The World Is Changing” in 1996. She also appeared in such movies as the “Friday After Next” (2002) starring Ice Cube, Mike Epps and John Witherspoon, and in “Up Against the 8 Ball” (2004). Involvement in show business helped Angela to increase her net worth significantly. Bowie also worked as a “roving reporter” for the bimonthly “Frock Magazine”, and most recently, she appeared in the seventeenth series of “Celebrity Big Brother” in January 2016.

Regarding her personal life, Angela Bowie met future husband David when she was 19, and a year later the couple married at Bromley Register Office in Beckenham Lane, London. They divorced in 1980 after having a son together. While they were married, Angela liked to go on tours with David and the songs “Golden Years”, “The Prettiest Star”, and “Cracked Actor” were about her – The Rolling Stones’ song entitled “Angie” (1973) is not about Angela Bowie, even though she claimed otherwise. Angela dated Andrew Lipka from 1979 to 1982 and has a daughter with him, while from 1993, her partner has been electrical engineer Michael Gassett. She resides near Atlanta, Georgia.
