Kimora Lee-Simmons

The gorgeous Kimora Lee-Simons has her genes to thank for her flourishing career. Kimora Lee Simmons is an author, fashion entrepreneur, and model. She was born in St. Louis, Missouri. Her one-of-a-kind beauty was hailed through her African American, Japanese, and Korean descent. With her career, she has earned a net worth of $200 million. When Simmons was only eleven years old, her mother noticed her towering height and signed her up for modeling class, which later got her a modeling contract with Chanel.

It was there that she was mentored by Chanel icon and designer Karl Lagerfield. Lagerfeld called her the “Face of the 21st Century,” which promoted racial inclusion for fashion. This designation led her to have a successful modeling stint for international high fashion brands like Valentino. Besides modeling, Simmons started up a business investment called Baby Phat. Aside from Baby Phat, Kimora also has other ventures like the Simmons Jewelry Company and has collaborated with Neiman Marcus.
