Rise to Become a Supermodel
She was born on April 23, 1995, in Los Angeles. Gigi began modeling at just two years old for Baby Guess. After taking a break to focus on her education and competitive horseback riding, she returned to modeling in 2013, signing with IMG Models. Her career quickly accelerated with runway debuts for major fashion houses and campaigns for brands like Tom Ford, Versace, and Chanel.
What distinguishes Hadid from her contemporaries is her versatility. She’s equally comfortable in high-fashion editorial shoots, commercial campaigns, and runway shows, making her a favorite among designers seeking both artistic credibility and commercial appeal.
Her Earning’s
Hadid consistently ranks among the world’s highest-paid models. Industry estimates suggest her annual earnings reached around $20 million at her peak, derived from lucrative contracts with brands like Maybelline, Tommy Hilfiger, and Reebok. Her business endeavors extend beyond modeling, including her knitwear brand Guest in Residence launched in 2022, which has been met with critical acclaim for its sustainable practices and timeless designs.
A Luxury Lifestyle
Despite her considerable wealth, Hadid maintains a relatively grounded approach to luxury. Her real estate portfolio includes a stunning NoHo apartment in Manhattan valued at several million dollars, which she meticulously renovated to reflect her eclectic design sensibilities. Her social media offers glimpses into a life that balances high-profile events with quiet moments spent with family, particularly her daughter Khai.
Hadid’s transportation choices reflect practical luxury—she owns several vehicles including a BMW, but is frequently spotted using car services in New York City. Her travel itinerary is dictated largely by work commitments, with private jets often chartered for efficiency between global assignments.
