Kathy Fields Net Worth $550 million
Kathy Fields was educated at Stanford University’s School of Medicine from which she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in dermatology. She later continued her education and further deepened her expertise on medical and surgical dermatology at the University of Miami and University of Florida, where she also studied treatments of skin disorders as well as malignant and benign skin growths excisions. In 1987, Fields moved to San Francisco where she began her private practice which, besides further increasing her knowledge, also provided the basis for her quite impressive current net worth.
Alongside her fellow Stanford colleague and friend Kathy Rodan, Kathy Fields in 1995 developed an acne preventative product – Proactiv Solution. The two dermatologists later sold the registered trademark to Nestlé and Guthy-Renker marketing and retail company. In 2002, they launched their own line of skincare products, named Rodan + Fields, which was sold through department stores. It was a real commercial success, and in 2003 they sold the rights to prestigious skincare, hair care and makeup manufacturer – The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. All these successful ventures helped Kathy Fields to add a significant sum to the size of her net worth.
In 2006, Fields and Rodan changed their business politics and moved their products from department stores to multi-level marketing direct sales, while in 2007 they managed to reacquire Rodan + Fields rights from Estée Lauder, and later that year founded their own eponymous company – Rodan + Fields. Over the years, the company has developed a multitude of products, divided into categories for every particular skin type, from creams, moisturizers and cleansers, to toners, sunscreens and exfoliators. It is certain that the commercial success of their top-class skincare products have helped Kathy Fields to dramatically boost her wealth.
Apart from Rodan + Fields activities, Kathy is active as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Dermatology at University of California, and is also a member of the American Society for dermatologic surgery and the American Academy of dermatology. For her contribution to dermatology and for bringing closer the top level cosmetics to the wider audience, Dr. Kathy Fields was named as one of the America’s Top physicians and dermatologists. Alongside her colleague and business partner Dr. Kathy Rodan, Fields has published two books so far – “Unblemished: Stop Breakouts! Fight Acne! Transform Your Life! Reclaim Your Self-Esteem with the Proven 3-Step Program Using Over-the-Counter Medications” (2004) and “Write Your Skin a Prescription for Change” (2009). Doubtlessly, these ventures have only further increased Kathy Field’s wealth.
When it comes to her personal life, Kathy Fields keeps her private life just that, although she is frequently featured in interviews and on magazine covers such as Glamour, SELF and Allure among many others.
