Kate Moss Net Worth: How much is the wealth of the British supermodel?

Kate Moss is a famous British supermodel, who rose to worldwide prominence in the 1990s at the end of the so-called "supermodel era". She is also considered by many to be one of the most influential people in the world.

In addition to her modeling career, the Brit has become an active contributor to the fashion world, creating several of her own clothing and perfume lines.

Childhood and beginnings of Kate Moss

Katherine Ann Moss was born on January 16, 1974 in Croydon, London. At the age of 13 she witnessed her parents' divorce.

A year later she began her modeling career in 1988 when she was recruited by Sarah Doukas, founder of Storm Management. At 16, she gained prominence after posing for a series of black and white photographs. Her big break came when she appeared in the "Levis for Girls" campaign.

Breaking stereotypes

Moss developed a reputation for being the "anti-supermodel" of the early 1990s. Her aesthetic was completely different compared to other prominent figures of that era. She wasn't as tall as figures like Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell, and she certainly wasn't as curvaceous. Observers have described Moss's body type as "a little boy," and the fashion industry appreciated the new aesthetic.

The model came to symbolize the "heroin chic" movement of the time. Pale skin, dark circles under the eyes and an extremely thin body were all hallmarks of this overall aesthetic.

After a drug abuse scandal, Moss experienced a relatively short blip before her career accelerated. A year after the drug controversy, Moss signed 18 new contracts.

In 2007, she designed her own clothing line for Topshop and reportedly earned 3 million as a result. After designing handbags for Longchamp, she modeled for Supreme in 2012.

A year later she appeared nude in Playboy magazine and that same year received a special recognition award at the British Fashion Awards.

In 2014, she designed a second clothing line for Topshop and established a long-term partnership with the retailer for the future.
