Gossip about Cara Delevingne has tantalized us for many years. While she’s vastly more successful than us, we’re not bitter about it. If anything, she gives us something to aspire to. Her inspiring beliefs about the world, her morality, and the meaningful things in life are easily some of the best out there, in our opinion.

Not only does she have a smart head on her shoulders but she is very attractive and unique-looking, even without makeup. She’s skyrocketed in popularity lately and her net worth is huge, even when compared to some of the other richest supermodels in the world, like Kendall Jenner. Guess what: her wealth just keeps growing. Has it been her runway action that’s given her this kind of wealth? Read on to find out!

12 She Earns Big Bucks Modeling

Having gained fame as a model in her young years, Cara Delevingne has managed to retain that kind of success. She’s still walking that catwalk and starring in ad campaigns. According to The Sun, “She easily surpassed rivals Kate Moss, 45, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, 32, who earned £9m and £8m… in 2017, she earned ‘only’ £12.46 million.” With those numbers in play, it’s no surprise she’s kept up with her modeling.

11 Though She’s Become Pickier About It Now

Like most stars, though, she’s now become a little more self-aware about her work and where her efforts are going. Her energy might have been split between a million different projects when she was younger, but now that she’s in her late 20s (which is kind of old by model standards) and she’s recognizing that she can afford to be pickier - when she is, it doesn’t impact her net worth at all.

10 Her Additional Modeling Business Stacks The Cash

It’s not just her walking down those runways and doing the modeling work itself that brings in money, though. She decided to dig in a little deeper with her involvement in her personal brand. This means that “the 27-year-old [rakes] in an astonishing £59,164 per day through her company, Cara & Co, which looks after her modeling and promo work.”

9 Her Acting Work Boosts Her Net Worth

Because, seriously, what Hollywood actor doesn’t have a decently-sized net worth attached to them? The whole point of being in Hollywood is that you’re a movie star; that means money! From her leading roles in films to her starring spot in that T-Swift video, Cara Delevingne has done very well for herself, thanks to playing pretend for a living.

8 And Obviously Her Royalties Help

Sure, her initial acting in Hollywood movies netted her a chunk of change - that’s non-negotiable. Her base fee is one thing, but the place where a lot of actors make most of their money is royalties. These are basically ongoing fees paid to the actors for when people stream their shows or movies. Judging from how popular many of her movies have been, we’re guessing that her royalty count is huge.

7 And All Of Those Brand Campaigns, Too

From Burberry to Samsung, Cara Delevingne has worked with a huge variety of brands, both as a model and as an ambassador. She’s creative and she isn’t afraid to add her own genius spin to these campaigns. Remember, this woman is incredibly smart. One-off modeling shoots are fine for net worth building, but it’s ongoing campaigns that really boost the bank.

6 Social Media Is A Huge Boost

With so many followers, there’s no doubt that she’s got some monetization happening. This is a business person we’re dealing with, after all! Just one scroll through her photo feed reveals a handful of promos or ads. While we’re all for a well-cultivated photo feed, Delevingne takes it to a whole new level with a handful of paid posts, which add to her net worth.

5 She’s Not Just An Arts Person, Though

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Cara Delevingne is a brilliant business person. While she might not be the first star we think of when we think of offices and portfolios and land ownership, she’s actually got a decent understanding of these ventures. This is true due to the other ways she’s amassed her net worth, outside of acting and modeling.

4 She And Her Family Have A Very Successful Business

“She’s also a director of her family’s property empire called Harvey White Properties Ltd, along with sisters, Poppy and Chloe, and father Charles.” Can anyone guess how much this company is actually worth? Apparently, “the company made a profit of £5.4 million and their investment portfolio was worth nearly £44 million.” No wonder she’s stuck it out with them!

3 And They Own Some Property Together

Cara and her sister, Poppy, get along well enough to share a house, which they’ve bought together. While the fact that the property is shared does make her portion of the value a little smaller, it’s still adding to her overall net worth. Assets make up a huge amount of the net worth that celebrities have, and Cara Delevingne is no different.

2 It Doesn’t Matter How High Her Net Worth Is, Though

Cara Delevingne is one of those rare celebrities who doesn’t seem to care about making the number in her bank account go up. She loves to take projects that she’s passionate about, and has been known to fairly regularly turn down work. It really seems like she doesn’t care about how high her net worth is, and we applaud her for that.

1 She Doesn’t Think Money Makes People Happy

At the end of the day, she’s right: “I also realised money is not everything. You get to the point where you’re like, ‘Oh, I’ve made money but I’m so deeply unhappy and alone’,” which seems to be the crux of happiness for most of us. Becoming well adjusted in life, pursuing artistic passions, and nurturing healthy relationships is one of the big ways we can be happy, outside of our net worth. Thanks, Cara!
