Delving Into Winnie Harlow’s Lavish Life: From Her Net Worth to How Her Fame Came to Be

The Breakdown: While we can all agree that some of America’s Next Top Model seasons and scenes didn’t age well, the Tyra Banks-led series brought memorable stars who graduated from "only one photo left in my hands” to being selected among some of fashion’s elite.

Supermodel Winnie Harlow is such an industry it-girl you forget she began her road to fame on ANTM. However, since making her mark on the show, she has unabashedly made the world know she’s here to stay.

Winnie’s beauty, unfiltered personality, and fierce wardrobe are among the reasons why she will always have us as a stan. Others feel the same and have ensured the model and her pockets feel the love. Read on for details on the global superstar's net worth!

Winnie is at the top of her game as one of the most sought-after models in the industry. She has a thriving media career and many expensive bags to her name. Her net worth of $5 million (via Celebrity Net Worth) proves as much. Fans first realized Winnie’s star power when she made her television debut on America’s Next Top Model in 2014.

As a contestant, she immediately became the one to watch, becoming the competition’s first-ever Canadian contestant. In addition to effortlessly performing a runway walk and a “smize,” she bravely shared her experiences navigating vitiligo, a skin condition that causes portions of the skin to lose pigmentation. Winnie has lived with vitiligo for most of her life and has been candid about the bullying she faced from her peers.

While she didn’t join the ranks of Eva Marcille and many others as ANTM’s winner, the model has yet to take her foot off our necks. Winnie has walked countless runways in New York, Paris, London, and other fashion-focused cities and gained numerous advertisement campaigns with fashion houses like Fendi, Swarovski, Marc Jacobs, Nike, and Puma.

Winnie also continues advocating for Vitiligo as a spokesperson. Her condition inspired her 2022 business venture, a skincare and suncare brand called Cay Skin.

Winnie launched the business after being badly sunburned during a photo shoot. The photographer requested that she not reapply sunscreen to avoid the white residue left behind.

In addition to building her empire, the model never passes up a moment to be in front of the camera. She has made multiple guest appearances on shows like RuPaul’s Drag Race and Grown-Ish throughout her career. Winnie also showed the world her acting chops in Netflix’s The Perfect Find alongside Gabrielle Union.

Winnie’s success has brought her a luxurious life, including a multi-million dollar home purchased in December 2020. And the model has the unwavering support of her parents and family.

Winnie's parents, Lisa Brown and Windsor Young, migrated to Canada from Jamaica. They raised the model and her two sisters with an incredible work ethic, which she has reflected on over the years. One of her reflections came via an Instagram post of her discussing Cay Skin launching in Canada.

While opening up about the launch, Winnie shared how monumental the moment was for her parents and her grandparents, who are also immigrants.

"As a child of immigrant parents and grandparents, the sacrifices they made to allow me the opportunities I’ve had to do the things I have, and become the person I am, I can never repay them," she said. "The many nights young Winnie called my grandfather to pick me up from late night work shifts, the times I picked fruit with my grandmother in her gardens."

"To see their faces as their entrepreneur granddaughter builds her brand and brings it home.. unmatched by anything I’ve ever accomplished," Winnie added. "Thank you mom, dad, grandmas & grandpas for building this young Canadian Jamaican’s heart spirit and soul for greatness."

Winnie's ethnicity is also something that has been discussed throughout her career. In 2015, while defending her fans after seeing many of them who identify as white being accused of blackface after recreating her look to pay homage to her skin condition.

"I proudly stand on the Gray Line that blurs black from white," Winnie wrote on Instagram at the time. "I am happily a mix of many races and creeds!"

"I am of African, Indian European and Asian decent and identify as a Proud Black Canadian Woman, and I Never forget the Canadian because that is the Gray," she added. "Being Canadian or American should remind you of this beautiful melting pot we are, and that the world is turning into. People are so prideful that they die and protest to be accepted, and when they are, they still find fault??"

In addition to identifying with multiple ethnicities, Winnie proudly represents her Jamaican-Canadian background. She often includes Jamaica, specifically, in most of her projects and gives back to her community when necessary. When Jamaica was affected by Hurricane Beryl, she shared via Instagram that she donated $10,000 to assist the victims of the natural disaster.
