What Is Linda Evangelista’s Net Worth In 2022?

Linda Evangelista made a rare appearance in New York City this week after having lived in seclusion for the last five years since her failed cosmetic procedure.

The Canadian supermodel was born on 10 May 1965 in St. Catharines, Ontario, where she started modelling during her teenage years. 

Evangelista was known as part of the five supermodels of the late ’80s and early ’90s alongside Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford and Tatjana Patitz.

Their fame was considered above those of actresses and singers of that era.

She was also the face of Versace in 1989 and Revlon in 1990, among many other brands.  

After having gone under the radar for a while, what is Linda Evangelista worth now? 

What Is Linda Evangelista’s Net Worth?

As of 2022, Linda Evangelista has an estimated net worth of $40 million (£33 million), according to Celebrity Net Worth. 

The supermodel began her career by participating in the 1981 Miss Teen Niagara beauty pageant. While she didn’t win, she piqued the interest of Elite Model Management and joined them in 1984.

Evangelista caused an uproar with her daring ‘white shirt picture’ where she donned a short, gamin hairstyle. This initially caused negative reactions but quickly became a trend of the 1990s.

Though she retired from modelling in 1998, she re-entered the industry in 2001 and has been active in various iconic campaigns individually or with her contemporaries.

In an interview with Vogue in 1990, Evangelista once said that “[she] doesn’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day”, and this quote has been compared to Marie Antoinette’s “let them eat cake”.

In 2021, the supermodel recounted that in 2016, she had undergone a cosmetic fat removal procedure to reduce the fat under her skin but this had the opposite effect.

She is now seeking $50 million from Zeltiq Aesthetics in damages for emotional distress and a loss of income, as she had not been working since then.

Nonetheless, she has opened up about her surgery to her 1.1 million followers on Instagram and is slowly making her way back into the public eye.

She currently resides in New York City.
