Naomi Campbell was born in Streatham, London, England May 20, 1970. She grew up with her mother Valerie Campbell who was a former ballet dancer. Unfortunately Naomi’s father left her mother when she was pregnant, and Naomi has never met him. Campbell is a mix of Black, Chinese, and Jamaican ancestry. She is grouped with these [|top famous supermodels] Claudia Shiffer, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, and Linda Evangelista. Although she is titled as a super model, actress, and singer she is most known for her modeling. Campbell has been a prominent fashion model on the catwalk and in print advertising since the late 1980s. Her first public appearance was at age seven when she was in a video for Jamaican reggae superstar [|Bob Marley's] song Is This Love?. At the age of 10 she was accepted in [|the Italia Conti Academy Stage School]. At the academy Naomi studied Ballet. At the age of fifteen Naomi Campbell was discovered on the streets of London’s Covent Garden. Her look was so unique that the entire fashion world was in shock. She soon became the first black woman to appear on the covers of Time magazine, and French and British Vogue. However her first cover shoot was with [|British Elle]. Naomi has been photographed by some of the top photographers Steven Meisel, Helmut Newton, and Seb Janisk. Naomi Campbell has walked for the greatest designers and has done campaigns for Ralph Lauren, Versace, Jazz, Francois Nars, Dolce & Gabbana and Dsquared.

Now at the age of thirty-eight Campbell is still a diva. She has many fundraising projects for charity. Some of them are Nelson Mandela’s children’s fund, and Fidel Castors Cuban Children’s Fund. She is a very successful entrepreneur with her own cosmetic range, and fragrances. She is estimated to have so far acquired a wealth of twenty-eight million dollars from modeling. But she says “I make a lot of money, but I don’t want to talk about that. I work very hard and I’m worth every cent.”
