Angela Bowie's Net Worth as of 2024
$10 Million

Angela Bowie was born as Mary Angela Barnett on the 25th September 1949, in Ayios Dhometios, Nicosia Cyprus, and is an American journalist, actress, and former model, but perhaps best known as the wife of legendary singer David Bowie. Angela’s career started in 1970.

Have you ever wondered how rich Angela Bowie is, as of mid- 2017? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Bowie’s net worth is as high as $10 million, an amount earned largely thanks to her divorce David Bowie, as he left her a lot of money. In addition, Angela has also worked as an actress and journalist, which improved her wealth.

Angela Bowie was a daughter of Helena Maria Galas Barnett and Col. George M. Barnett, a US Army veteran, and grew up in Cyprus with her older brother. Angela studied in Cyprus, Switzerland, and at Kingston Polytechnic in the UK, and then moved to Connecticut College, but she was expelled after ‘same sex’ scandal.

After she had married David Bowie, Angela began appearing in various television shows such as “The Tonight Show” (1973), hosted by Johnny Carson, and “The Mike Douglas Show” (1975). In the meantime, Bowie auctioned for the role of Wonder Woman, but lost the part because she refused to wear a bra. In 1975, Angela had an unsuccessful business idea when she bought the television rights from Marvel Comics for the characters of Daredevil and Black Woman – she wanted to develop the series about superheroes, and considered playing the part of the Black Widow, but she never secured a studio deal.

In 1981, Bowie published her first book entitled “Free Spirit”, and then wrote a bestseller “Backstage Passes: Life On the Wild Side with David Bowie” in 1993. Along with David Padilla, Jim Durban, D.J. Trance, Morgan Lekcirt and Tom Reich, Angela released a CD maxi-single “The World Is Changing” in 1996. She also appeared in such movies as the “Friday After Next” (2002) starring Ice Cube, Mike Epps and John Witherspoon, and in “Up Against the 8 Ball” (2004). Involvement in show business helped Angela to increase her net worth significantly. Bowie also worked as a “roving reporter” for the bimonthly “Frock Magazine”, and most recently, she appeared in the seventeenth series of “Celebrity Big Brother” in January 2016.

Regarding her personal life, Angela Bowie met future husband David when she was 19, and a year later the couple married at Bromley Register Office in Beckenham Lane, London. They divorced in 1980 after having a son together. While they were married, Angela liked to go on tours with David and the songs “Golden Years”, “The Prettiest Star”, and “Cracked Actor” were about her – The Rolling Stones’ song entitled “Angie” (1973) is not about Angela Bowie, even though she claimed otherwise. Angela dated Andrew Lipka from 1979 to 1982 and has a daughter with him, while from 1993, her partner has been electrical engineer Michael Gassett. She resides near Atlanta, Georgia.

Kathryn Calhoun Dennis was born on the 5th August 1992, in Charleston, South Carolina, USA, and she is recognized for being a model, but probably best known as a reality television personality, appearing as a girlfriend of Thomas Ravenel in the hit reality TV series entitled “Southern Charm” (2014-present), which airs on the Bravo channel.

Kathryn Dennis Net Worth $600,000

Kathryn Dennis spent her childhood on Lewisfield Plantation in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, the daughter of Luke and Allison Dennis. Her grandfather is Rembert Dennis, a retired state senator, and she is also related to John C. Calhoun, a politician who was the Vice- President of the United States under Adams and Jackson. Kathryn attended Berkeley High School and then enrolled at the University of South Carolina to study political science and mass communications, graduating in 2013. Right after college, she began to pursue a career in politics, as she began completing her internship with the South Carolina Lieutenant Governor. However, she soon met Whitney Sudler-Smith, a TV and film producer, who introduced her to Thomas Ravenel, which changed her life completely, personally and professionally, as through him she became a guest member of the cast for the first season of the Bravo TV reality series “Southern Charm”, which added somewhat to her net worth. However, as her relationship with Thomas became more serious, she became a member of the main cast for the second season, increasing further her overall net worth and exposure to the public. She is also planned to appear for the third season of the show, which will be premiered on the 4th April.

Apart from her career as a TV personality, Kathryn has also worked as a model since she was 14 years old, and is currently a member of the Model Mayhem website. So far, Kathryn has collaborated with Lauren Moser, Travis Teate, Parkside Wedding Studio, Moore Photography, Crystal Driggers, among many others, all of which has added to her overall net worth.

Undoubtedly, Kathryn`s net worth will become greater in the forthcoming years, assuming that she successfully continues her career in the entertainment and modelling industries.

When it comes to her personal life, Kathryn Dennis has been in a relationship with Thomas Ravenel, the state treasurer of South Carolina, and who is 29 years older than her. The couple has two children, daughter, Kensington Calhoun Ravenel, born in 2014, and a son St. Julien Rembert Ravenel, born in 2015, however, latest information is that Kathryn and Thomas have separated for unspecified reasons – no doubt the gossip columnists are having a field day!

Iman Net Worth

Published

on

Born Zara Mohamed Abdulmajid on 25 July 1955, Iman is a fashion model, entrepreneur and actress best known as being a pioneer in the field of ethnic cosmetics. She was married to English singer David Bowie until his passing, and many people also recognize her charitable works which she is involved in all over the world.

So, how rich is Iman? What’s her net worth? Iman is a very wealthy woman, having a net worth of more than $100 million as of early 2016. According to sources, she has earned her riches mostly from her career as a fashion model, gracing many fashion magazines. She also has her own cosmetic firm that she started in 1994. Today, the firm is estimated to return annual revenues of millions of dollars.

Iman Net Worth $100 Million

Iman came from a humble background. She was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, but then moved to Nairobi in search of opportunities. It was here that she was discovered by the famous photographer, Peter Beard, who followed her on the streets after recognising how beautiful she was. On approaching her, Beard asked if he could take a picture of her. She accepted under the condition that she would be paid $8,000, which was the cost of her entire college tuition. The photographer agreed and took her photos back to New York City, leaking information that he had discovered an “African Beauty.” The pictures were received well, and Beard persuaded Iman to move to the US, where throughout the ’80s she graced various magazine covers, including Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue. Iman succeeded in her new home as a super model, working with notable photographers such as Annie Leibovitz, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon and Helmut Newton. Her net worth grew considerably.

After years of modeling, Iman finally realized that she could succeed as an entrepreneur too, and increase her net worth. She went ahead and started a cosmetic company, which focuses on women’s shades that are hard to find. In 2012, she signed her fellow Somali designers Idyl Mohallim and Ayaan to be her brand ambassadors, and as of 2018, the firm remains among the top Wallgreens website’s foundation brands.

In 2007, Iman was approached by Home Shopping Network’s CEO, who asked her to create an innovative clothing design line. Her first collection, inspired by her modeling career and childhood in Africa, introduced embroidered caftans commonly referred to as ‘Global Chic Collection.’ Today, it’s one of the best selling items on the network among over 200 jewelry and fashion brands. Of course her net worth has benefited considerably from her business.

As an actress, Iman has appeared twice in the TV series ‘Miami Vice.’ She has also been featured in other TV shows such as the 1985 ‘Back in the World,’ 1988 ‘Love at First Sight,’ and ‘In the Heat of the Night.’ She also spent almost two years hosting ‘Project Runway Canada,’ a fashion-themed show by Bravo TV. On film, she has been featured in ‘The Human Factor,’ ‘Out of Africa,’ ‘No Way Out,’ ‘Surrender,’ ‘Lies of the Twins,’ ‘House Party 2’ and ‘Exit to Eden.’ She has also appeared in a video game by Microsoft known as ‘Omikron: The Nomad Soul.’ These have also added to her net worth.

When it comes to awards, Iman has had a successful career as both a model and an actress, and so received the Fashion Icon Lifetime Achievement Award given by the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) in June 2010.

In her personal life, Iman married a Hilton executive and young Somali entrepreneur when she was just 18. A few years later, the marriage ended, and she moved to the US to pursue her modeling career. She married Spencer Haywood, a basketball player, in 1977, with whom she has a daughter, but in 1987 the two divorced, after which Iman met famed singer/musician David Bowie, and married him in 1992; he died on 10 January 2016, leaving her and a daughter named Alexandria Zahra. She now divides her time between New York and London

Iman is a philanthropist, including  also being offered an opportunity to head a program called ‘Keep a Child Alive’ which she accepted, and is a Save the Children ambassador among many other charitable works.
