Born in Los Angeles on April 23, 1995 to former Dutch model Yolanda Foster and Palestinian real estate developer Mohamed Hadid, Hadid began her modelling career with Baby Guess at the tender age of two. She continued her association with Guess and signed a deal in 2011 with IMG Models, but what is Gigi Hadid’s net worth?
She became the new face of Guess’ 2012 campaign, doing a total of three campaigns with them as an adult. She also featured in a short film called Virgin Eyes (2012) and appeared as herself in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (2012-2014) — the reality show that once featured her mother.
After graduating from Malibu High School in 2013, she enrolled in The New School in New York to continue her studies.
Hadid’s magazine appearances include Vogue, Elle, Vman, Cleo, Grazia and Paper. She has also graced the covers of Schön!, Galore and Carine Roitfeld’s CR Fashion Book. Hadid was one of the 12 models to adorn Sports Illustrated‘s 2014 swimsuit edition.
