MSNBC:
Supermodel Tyra is a very good-looking, one-woman money machine. Modeling, TV shows and that’s not even half of what’s in the works. Former supermodel Tyra Banks now has 2 hit shows that have earned her the comparison to Oprah.
When Tyra Banks was just a supermodel, a face of Covergirl and Sports Illustrated, she earned $50,000 a day, plus $4 million annually from Victoria’s Secret.
Last year the media mogul, now worth an estimated $140 million, made about $18 million. She owns 25% of the reality show America’s Next Top Model and a majority stake in her syndicated talk show.
She has 14 projects in the works. A sitcom about the runner-up of America’s Next Top Model, 2 fashion-based reality shows and a feature for Nickelodeon films with the producer of The Devil Wears Prada and Forrest Gump.
‘Tyra has that appeal to a very broad audience’, said Kiri Blakeley, Forbes senior reporter. ‘Not only that but she has that kind of loyalty that Oprah has, where if Tyra says this is what you might want to read or this is what you might want to buy – women do it.
