Life as a Young Millionaire

When Bella Hadid moved to New York City as a teenager, she had no idea that she would leave the Big Apple as one of the wealthiest models in the entire industry. Hadid is currently one of the fastest rising celebrities on the planet and her massive social media following backs up that assertion. Thanks to her work in the modeling work, Bella has already claimed a net worth of more than $25 million and that number is sure to rise in the future.

Hadid makes most of her fortune by working as a model. She signed with IMG Models in 2014 before landing New York Fashion Week. By the end of her first year as a model, Hadid would be titled the Model of the Year by the industry veterans at Model.com. Her high-profile success would lead Hadid to rep brands for Diane von Furstenberg, Marc Jacobs, Jeremy Scott, Tom Ford and many more.

In 2015, Hadid would change her life even more upon signing a contract to become a representative for the luxury brand, Chanel.  Hadid would land appearances in publications like Seventeen, Vogue, and Elle while also being featured in the Holiday line for Victoria's Secret. Nowadays, Hadid is almost always on the road working as a spokeswoman or walking down the runway for another new brand.

Most recently, Hadid landed high-profile deals with Dior Beauty to star in several different marketing videos. The campaign would be released under the title, Dior Makeup with Bella Hadid. The videos began releasing in 2016, and they were met with positivity from Bella's fanbase.

As a mega-rich and young supermodel, you'd think that Bella Hadid would be living the most glamorous life possible. While Bella looks amazing walking down the runway, she tends to keep to herself when she's not at work. Still, Bella Hadid does enjoy the finer things in life and that was made clear when she moved in with pop star The Weeknd to their shared penthouse in Tribeca. The home sits at 443 Greenwich and Hadid's unit sits at the top of the building. The Greenwich home is considered 'paparazzi-proof' and it costs the couple more than $60k per month in rent. The condo sprawls for more than 5,000 square feet and it can regularly be seen in the background of their social media posts. Other residents of the building include Ryan Reynolds, Justin Timberlake, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jennifer Lawrence, and Harry Styles.

Childhood and Ascent to Stardom

Isabella Khair Hadid was born on October 9, 1996, in Washington, D.C.  Bella Hadid was born to father Mohamed Hadid and mother Yolanda Hadid. During her childhood, her mother worked as a model and was a guiding force toward Bella's growth within the industry. Her father, Mohamed, is a real-estate developer who has made headlines around the world thanks to the scope of some of his most expensive projects. Hadid was raised alongside her older sister Gigi, also a model, and Anwar. Bella also has two half-sisters from her father's previous relationship.

Bella was raised in Santa Barbara, CA, for a decade while she dreamed of competing in the Olympics as an equestrian. While Hadid had enough talent to make the cut for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, she would be forced to withdraw due to a diagnosis of chronic Lyme disease, an affliction that she shares with both her mother and brother. In 2014, Hadid would head to New York City to study at the Parsons School of Design. She would sign with IMG Models before dropping out of school. Her status as an international model didn't take long and by the Fall of 2014, Hadid was walking at New York Fashion Week while rubbing elbows with people like Tom Ford, Tommy Hilfiger, and Jeremy Scott.
