Introduction

Tyra Banks is an American television personality, producer, businesswoman, and model with an estimated net worth of $90 Million. 

Despite earning millions annually as a Victoria’s Secret model between 1996 and 2005, Banks built the majority of her net worth later on when she transitioned to television. Both The Tyra Banks Show and America’s Next Top Model have contributed significantly to Tyra’s wealth, helping her earn as much as $30 million in a single year.

Quick Facts

• Peak annual income of $30 million in 2009
• Secured endorsement deals with CoverGirl, COSMÉ, and Victoria’s Secret

Earnings History

In the early to mid-2000s, during the peak of her modeling career, Tyra Banks typically earned between $4 million and $6 million annually. She was featured on Forbes’ Highest-Paid Models list three times (2000, 2004, 2005). She earned an estimated $5.5 million in 2000, $4 million in 2004, and $6 million in 2005.

However, these would not be the highest-earning years of her career. She began earning significantly higher paydays after transitioning to television with shows such as America’s Next Top Model and The Tyra Banks Show. 

In 2006, Forbes reported that Tyra Banks earned an estimated $18 million in the previous twelve months. This was primarily due to her salary from both America’s Next Top Model and The Tyra Banks Show. The exact split was unknown, but it was reported that she earned approximately $3.5 million annually from her talk show at the time.

By 2009, her earnings had increased to an estimated $30 million. During this period, Banks was heavily criticized after contestants on America’s Next Top Model alleged they were paid only $38 per day while filming the show. 

Based on the figures above, Tyra Banks’ estimated earnings for just five years (2000, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2009) total $63.5 million.

Endorsement Income

In the late 1990s, as her modeling career was in full swing, Tyra Banks began signing numerous endorsement contracts with global fashion brands, including CoverGirl, COSMÉ, and Victoria’s Secret. Based on the figures mentioned above, it is clear that Banks’ earnings during this period and until the mid-2000s were primarily generated by her modeling contracts and brand deals. 

Victoria’s Secret Partnership

Perhaps the most notable of these was her partnership with Victoria’s Secret, which she initially signed in 1996 and maintained until 2005. Here’s an interesting fact for you: When Banks first appeared on the cover of the Victoria’s Secret catalog in 1996, she was the first black woman in history to do so. Tyra continued modeling for Victoria’s Secret, appearing in both catalogs and runway shows. Some sources suggest she was paid approximately $3 million per year at the time, which would make the partnership responsible for roughly 60% of her total income. 

Mainstream Endorsements

Before Banks transitioned to television, the bulk of her endorsement deals were in the fashion sector. However, in the late 2000s, she also added more mainstream brands to her portfolio, such as Pepsi and Nike. Additionally, she secured various fashion endorsements from prominent brands, including Dolce & Gabbana, H&M, and Yves Saint Laurent.

Real Estate

In April 2004, Tyra Banks paid $3.085 million for a 5,740-square-foot, five-bedroom, six-bathroom home in Beverly Hills, California. The home was purchased through the Crizzo trust controlled by her mother. Banks owned this property for over a decade before selling it for $6.33 million in July 2016.

In October 2014, Banks purchased a 3,700-square-foot, four-bedroom, five-bathroom home in the Pacific Palisades for just under $3.3 million. She sold this home for $4 million in September 2018, and it later burned down in the 2025 California wildfires.

Shortly before the sale, Tyra paid just under $7 million for a 6,160-square-foot, five-bedroom, six-bathroom residence, also located in the Pacific Palisades. This property features an outdoor pool, home gym, and rooftop terrace with a hot tub. Banks sold the home three years later for $7.9 million. Again, this property has also since been destroyed by the California fires.

In February 2021, Banks acquired a 4,089-square-foot, beachfront property in Malibu for $4.72 million. She still owned this home at the time of the wildfires, and yet again, this property also burned to the ground. According to Zillow, the empty lot is valued at $1.47 million.

Introduction

Amanda Cerny is an American professional model and actress with an estimated net worth of $10 Million.

Net Worth History

When we first started tracking Amanda Cerny’s career in 2020, her net worth was estimated at approximately $8 million. Since then, she’s continued to diversify her income streams, potentially earning between $1 million and $2 million annually from social media sponsors, YouTube revenues, OnlyFans, and the increased value of her property in California. Based on recent estimates, Amanda Cerny’s net worth is currently sitting at close to $10 Million.

Zeus Network

In July 2018, media executive Lemuel Plummer, along with social media stars Amanda Cerny, King Bach, and DeStorm Power, launched Zeus Network, an online streaming platform service. The three creators were instrumental in building the platform, and it’s believed they held some form of equity in the business. That said, the specifics have never been disclosed, but Power stated it was a “good amount of equity.” DeStorm was the first creator to partner with Plummer, and he personally reduced his own equity stake to bring on Amanda and Bach as equal partners.

However, all is not well between the company’s co-founders. DeStorm Power has publicly claimed that he repeatedly had to put in more of his own capital to keep the company afloat, which Plummer would reportedly repay him. 

Since its launch, Zeus has signed deals with dozens of creators to join the platform, including Omarion, Nick Cannon, Blac Chyna, and Blueface. By 2025, Zeus had accumulated more than 100 million users, a portion of whom paid either a $5.99 monthly or a $59.99 annual subscription to watch exclusive shows on the Zeus Network. It reportedly had a valuation of up to $250 million at the time.

According to DeStorm, himself, Amanda, and King Bach never received any partner payouts. He also claims that they were left with tax liabilities for income they had never even received. We’re not sure exactly what happened to the trio’s equity. However, assuming they each own/owned between 10% and 20%, Amanda’s stake could be worth between $25 million and $50 million.

OnlyFans Earnings

In December 2020, Amanda Cerny joined the trend of female influencers by launching her own OnlyFans account. Based on her profile, she charges $19.99 per month for subscriptions and discounted rates for bundles, which are as follows:

• 3-month subscription – $50.97
• 6-month subscription – $95.95
• 12-month subscription – $179.91

Unlike most celebrities, Amanda’s earnings from the platform have never been disclosed. Based on what we can see, she’s published 185 posts and received roughly 157,100 likes on her content. It would be very difficult to calculate exactly how much Cerny has earned on OnlyFans, but one would assume it’s at least in the multiple-seven-figure range. Some websites that calculate creators’ earnings from the platform estimate that she earns more than $1 million per year.

Playboy Club Earnings

In 2021, following OnlyFans’ success, Playboy Magazine launched its own digital competitor of sorts, initially named Centerfold. However, the service was later rebranded as the Playboy Club. While the platform is similar in nature, allowing creators to publish their own content and attract fan subscriptions, it only allows basic nudity, not explicit content.

Amanda Cerny was among the first influencers to join the platform. By 2023, the company reported that she’s already earned more than $1 million from the Playboy Club.

Real Estate

Valley Village Home

In February 2019, Cerny paid $2.36 million for a 3,729-square-foot, newly built home in Valley Village, California. According to records, she listed the house for rent in 2021 at $20,000 per month. Someone rented it out for six months in 2022, from February to August, paying an estimated $17,900 per month. A year later, it was listed for sale at $3.75 million. The house has been on and off the market since then, but is currently listed for $3.5 million.

Introduction

Adriana Lima is a Brazilian professional model and actress with an estimated net worth of $95 Million.

Since 2005, Lima has earned millions of dollars annually as a model, predominantly through her work with Victoria’s Secret. Her income has steadily grown over the last twenty years as she’s risen through the ranks and begun taking on more and more endorsement work with companies such as H&M, Maybelline, and Marc Jacobs.

This profile outlines our extensive research into Adriana Lima’s net worth, earnings history, endorsement deals, and real estate investments.

Quick Facts

• Earned an estimated $133 million between 2005 and 2022
• This figure includes the $24 million profit from selling her Miami home
• Peak annual income of $10.5 million, excluding investments
• Secured endorsement deals with H&M, Maybelline, and Marc Jacobs

Earnings History

Between 2005 and 2018, Forbes consistently ranked Adriana Lima as one of the world’s highest-paid models. She earned $4.5 million in 2005, making her debut on the list. This was followed by an estimated $4 million in 2006, after which her earnings rose to $6 million the following year. Lima earned $7 million in 2008 and $8 million in 2009. Between 2010 and 2015, Lima’s annual earnings ranged from $6 million to $9 million, averaging $7.63 million.

During this time, her primary source of income was through her long-standing position as a Victoria’s Secret model. However, she also earned additional income through multiple brand endorsements, including Maybelline, Marc Jacobs, H&M, and Vogue Eyewear. These additional endorsements increased her income from the low seven-figure range to the $8-$9 million range.

For 2016 and 2017, Lima earned an estimated $10.5 million annually, primarily due to her seniority at Victoria’s Secret. In recent years, various sources have reported that Adriana has earned $30 million annually, including a Wikipedia article titled “Forbes list of the world’s highest-paid models.” However, the figures shown within that article for 2020 onwards are not from Forbes. We found the original sources to be rather untrustworthy.

What we can say is that, in 2022, when Lima sold her home in Miami Beach, she likely realized approximately $24 million (more details below), which could have earned her over $30 million in total for that year.

Divorce Settlement

Adriana Lima was previously married to the Serbian former NBA player, Marko Jarić. The couple tied the knot in 2009, shortly before Marko retired, and have two children together, but separated in May 2014. Their divorce was finalized in March 2016, and reports suggest a settlement was reached, but the exact details weren’t made public.

Just for your information, Jarić currently has an estimated net worth of $20 million, drastically lower than that of Lima.

Real Estate

Indian Creek Island Home

In 2010, Adriana Lima and her former husband, Marko Jaric, paid $9 million for a 6,465-square-foot home on Indian Creek Island in Miami Beach, Florida. While they owned the property, its tax-assessed value increased steadily; in 2022, it increased by 53%, from $19 million to $29.6 million. 

In 2022, Lima sold the property for $40 million, a likely prudent decision given that property taxes had increased to $660,000/year. After accounting for taxes paid from 2010 to 2022 and agent commissions, Lima could have realized between $23 million and $24 million in profits from the investment.

Brentwood Home

Later in the year, Adriana paid a modest $12.4 million for a newly built farmhouse on the opposite coast in Brentwood, California. The property comprises six bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, and 7,521 square feet.
