Kate Moss is set to become the world’s richest super model with a new talked about deal with American Idol creator Simon Cowell and British entrepreneur Phillip Green.
Kate, Cowell, and Green will join forces on a new $1.6 billion global multi-faceted entertainment company. Green owns the Topshop brand which Moss recently collaborated with for a new collection. Moss will direct the style and image of the as-yet-unnamed empire, as well as give fashion-related branding advice, under the terms of the deal which could net her up to $80 million based on profit-sharing arrangements, the London Daily Mail reports. The sum would double Moss’ fortune giving her a net worth of about $160 million, the paper notes. In essence the plan is to merchandise the hell out of Cowell’s hit TV shows both here and abroad.
With this new deal in place Kate has really set the bar for all models to step their brand game up. The days of old where models only modeled are done; models have to be very business savvy and broad in talent to earn the big $$$ since they are also now competing with celebs for the same gigs.
