Christy Brinkley is an American model, entrepreneur, and actress with a net worth of $100 million. Christie rose to international prominence in the 1970s as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model.

She eventually rose to become one of the world’s most successful and well-paid models. She rose to fame in the 1970s as a result of her appearances in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues, and she was the face of CoverGirl for 25 years.

Christy Brinkley’s career spans three decades, and she has appeared on over 500 magazine covers and worked with a slew of major brands. Surprisingly, Christie’s net worth is not derived primarily from her modelling career.

Over the years, Brinkley has made a number of extremely wise real estate investments. She has primarily invested in real estate in The Hamptons, New York’s ultra-exclusive beach town. Her real estate portfolio is easily worth $60 million or more. Christie, for example, spent $2.7 million on a 21-acre Hamptons estate over several transactions in the mid-1990s. She listed this property for $30 million in 2007, and it eventually sold for $17 million.

Christy Brinkley also has a handful of brands of her own, including Bellissima Prosecco, Christie Brinkley Authentic Skin Care, and Christie Brinkley Eyewear.
