- Following in her parents' footsteps, Lourdes has used her looks and talent to carve out a name for herself in the entertainment industry, making strategic partnerships and working hard to achieve her success.
To most people, Lourdes Leon is just Madonna's eldest child, but the 23-year-old is a celebrity in her own right with an estimated net worth of $4 million. Although living in the shadow of a famous parent can be difficult for most, Lourdes is a determined hard-working young woman and is making waves in the fashion industry.
Lourdes has shared a bit about herself and the fact that she studied music, theatre, and dance at the University of Michigan. The 26-year-old parlayed those experiences into careers as an author and singer.
Lourdes further worked as a model in partnership with Madonna and launched the successful Material Girl fashion line back in 2010. As such, it is easy to see how she accumulated such an immense amount of wealth in a short time.
Let's delve into how she amassed her wealth, shall we?
Updated September 2023: Lourdes Leon has dabbled in just about every part of the entertainment industry over the years. And while she has proven to be successful in just about everything she does, currently, Lourdes' passion is with modeling.
From walking the catwalk for designers like Rihanna, Tom Ford, Stella McCartney, Swarovski and more, Lourdes continues to build her portfolio and become more profitable as a model.
Most recently, Lourdes landed a contract with Make Up For Ever. This marks her first transition from the world of high fashion to cosmetics.
With interest in writing, singing, and modeling, there is no telling the direction that Lourdes will take her career in the future. But with a mother who has diversified her career via singing, acting, modeling, as an author, and more, Lourdes has a great role model to fashion herself after to take her career as far as it can possibly go.
Lourdes Leon Is Paving Her Own Way
Lourdes is not the kid whose hand Madonna held at fashion shows anymore. She is all grown up and reminds fans of her mother. However, she is clearly a good mix of both Madonna and Carlos Leon given her desire to carve a career for herself in the entertainment industry, much like both parents.
As a result of an illustrious career, Madonna has managed to amass a net worth of $850,000,000. But given that Lourdes has only been out of college a few years and is following her dreams by her own rules, the $4 million fortune that she has built for herself is impressive.
While Lourdes really threw herself into her career in the last several years, she has been working since 14 years of age. This was when she modeled for Madonna's Material Girl line which was inspired by Madonna's fashion of the 1980s.
The clothing line was "inspired by Madonna’s legendary 1980’s looks and her 1985 single," the description of the clothing line read at the time. "The teen line was successfully launched with 14-year-old Lourdes as the face and continues to be in Macy’s stores today."
Art Runs In Lourdes Leon's Family
Despite growing up in the spotlight, Lourdes leads a normal life. In fact, it was not until January 2021 that she joined Instagram to have her first social media account.
Lourdes studied music, theater, and dance at the University of Michigan, wanting a career doing something creative. This is not surprising given that Madonna and Carlos both have careers in the entertainment industry.
A display of Lourdes' art was presented at the Love Different 2020 exhibit at Miami Art Basel.
Lourdes Leon Is A Brand Ambassador And Runway Model
Following in her parent's footsteps, Lourdes has made use of her insanely good looks and walked runways. She made her runway debut at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award in 2018. Lourdes has also walked the runway for Jeremy Scott and Gypsy Sport.
The model/designer was also the face of Stella McCartney's POP fragrance alongside other stars like Grimes and Amandla Stenberg.
Lourdes was also part of the Miu Miu campaign in 2019. This was her first significant fashion campaign.
Since that time, Lourdes has worked with Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford, Savage X Fenty, and more.
Most recently, Lourdes did a campaign for Dion Lee, which is prominently displayed in her Instagram feed.
As a result of name, Lourdes had doors open for her that others might not have. However, it is up to Lourdes to make herself marketable, which she has done with hard work. And that hard work has paid off with the $4 million she has amassed and the likely millions more she will make in the years to come.
