What is Miranda Kerr's Net Worth?

Miranda Kerr is an Australian model who has a net worth of $60 million. Miranda Kerr was a tomboy growing up, and modeling was the furthest thing from her mind.  She enjoyed riding horses and racing motorbikes in her hometown of New South Wales, Australia, and she had a fairly normal home life.  However, all that changed when she turned 13.  That year, she won the Dolly Magazine/Impulse Model Competition, and suddenly she was the center of a controversial photo campaign that had multiple Australian media outlets complaining that the photos were too risque for such a young model.  The controversy didn't faze her, and she continued modeling in Australia, appearing in ad campaigns for Billabong Girls, Tigerlily, and One Teaspoon.

After relocating to New York, she began appearing in even higher-profile ad campaigns, and in magazines such as ELLE, Vogue, and Harper's Bazaar.  After becoming the face of Maybelline in 2006, she jumped into even higher demand.  The following year, she became the first Victoria's Secret "Angel" from Australia, and suddenly she was a household name.  Since then, her career has been a non-stop whirlwind of editorial and cover shoots, ad campaigns, and runway shows. Today she is also notable for being in a relationship with billionaire Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel. She has two children with Spiegel and one child with actor Orlando Bloom.
