Tyra Banks | 120
Tyra Banks made a name for herself as a fashion model and was only 15 when she began her career as a model. She was named the first African-American woman to be featured on the covers of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and GQ. But that’s not all! She was also one of the world’s top-earning models in the early 2000s. Her success allowed her to branch out into show business and helped her make a fortune through her career on television.
She had created and began presenting the long-running reality television series America’s Next Top Model, which she executive produced and presented for the first twenty-two seasons until the series was canceled in October 2015. She also had her own talk show The Tyra Banks Show, which aired on The CW for five seasons and won two Daytime Emmy awards for Outstanding Talk Show Informative. She even has launched her cosmetics company, Tyra Beauty, and an e-commerce cosmetics website called tyra.com.
