Liya Kebede’s Net Worth and Career

After one encounter and one life-changing decision, the actress headed to Paris to launch her career, and eventually to New York. Liya’s first important gig was with Tom Ford when she graced the runway at Gucci.
In addition to her stellar job, the actress had reservations about her future after becoming pregnant. But, as wonderful as she is, the actress rose to popularity and graced the cover of Vogue Paris.
Estée Lauder even invited Liya to be their first black spokesmodel, which undoubtedly contributed to her soaring net worth. And, guess what, she made all of these deals after having her first child, which removed all of her doubts and enhanced her financial worth.
Following the birth of her second child, the actress began a new chapter in her career, launching the successful clothing line Lemlem, which honors and represents her African heritage.
With all of these successes, the actress, who is 1.78 m tall, now has a dazzling net worth of $18 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Earnings from her clothing line, brand deals, walks, and numerous other sources of revenue have significantly increased her net worth.
