Tyra Banks is one of the most famous models of all times, even turning into one of the original Victoria's Secret Angels along with the likes of fellow 90s catwalk superstars like Helena Christensen - now, years later and after building an empire, she confesses that Tyra Banks' net worth is even more a fruit of hard work than we'd thought before.
41 year-old Tyra, who has had a long career in the entertainment business spanning over 20 years where she even co-starred in Will Smith's famous "Fresh Prince of Bel Air," recently revealed that Tyra Banks' net worth wouldn't have ascended to nearly as much if it hadn't been for her persistence, as she was actually turned down from six different modeling agencies when she was starting out.
Speaking to Glamour for the magazine's December issue, Tyra shared that she had to fight her way into the modeling world at her very beginnings, after she was rejected time and again from modeling agencies, long before Tyra Banks' net worth rose to the high numbers it has today.
"There was a door that was locked because I was a young black model and the first six agencies I knocked at said no - I think four of the six said, 'We already have a black girl,'" said the star, according to The Sun Daily, speaking about how being rejected ended up helping Tyra Banks' net worth. "And then once I was successful, designers were like, 'You're getting too thick.'"
Tyra, who these days also a talk show host, reality show producer and all-around businesswoman, shared that the way to get Tyra Banks' net worth so high was by adapting to circumstances, saying that she'd learned to change her tune with every new stage of her career - including how when she was told she was getting "too thick" she decided to go to magazines and shows that looked for curvier figures, like Victoria's Secret or Sports Illustrated.
Celebrity Net Worth currently lists Tyra Banks' net worth at $90 million - the "America's Next Top Model" star and creator definitely showed them!
