What is Cindy Crawford Net Worth and salary?
As of early 2026, Cindy Crawford’s net worth is estimated at $400 million, a figure shared with her husband, entrepreneur Rande Gerber. Her individual fortune is estimated to exceed $200 million.
The primary driver of her wealth is no longer modeling, but her 50% ownership of Meaningful Beauty, a skincare line that generates over $100 million in annual revenue. Additionally, her Cindy Crawford Home Collection generates substantial licensing fees, with annual retail sales often cited in the hundreds of millions. The family’s wealth was further bolstered by the 2017 sale of Casamigos Tequila (co-founded by Rande Gerber and George Clooney) for up to $1 billion.
Early Life
Cindy Crawford was born in DeKalb, Illinois. She grew up in a working-class environment where her father was an electrician and her mother a bank teller. Her childhood was marked by the tragic loss of her younger brother, Jeffery, to childhood leukemia when she was 10 years old—an event that later fueled her extensive philanthropic work.
Before fame
Crawford was an exceptional student, graduating as the valedictorian of DeKalb High School in 1984. She earned an academic scholarship to study chemical engineering at Northwestern University. However, after being discovered by a local photographer while detasseling corn and subsequently placing as a finalist in Elite Model Management’s “Look of the Year” contest, she dropped out after one quarter to pursue modeling full-time in New York City.

Personal Life and Relationships
Crawford’s first marriage was to actor Richard Gere (1991–1995), a high-profile union that ended in divorce. In 1998, she married Rande Gerber, a former model and nightlife industry mogul. Their marriage is considered one of the most stable in Hollywood. In 2025 and 2026, Crawford has remained active in the public eye, often supporting her daughter Kaia’s burgeoning acting and modeling career.
Family life
The Crawford-Gerber family is a “modeling dynasty.” Her daughter, Kaia Gerber, is a world-renowned supermodel and actress, while her son, Presley Gerber, has also worked extensively in the fashion industry. The family maintains a close-knit bond, frequently appearing together at high-fashion events and maintaining residences in Malibu and Miami.

BIOGRAPHY
Executive Summary
Cindy Crawford remains the definitive blueprint for the “Supermodel-turned-Mogul.” As of February 2026, she has successfully transitioned from being the most photographed face in the world to a sophisticated business executive with a diversified portfolio spanning beauty, home goods, and real estate.
Rising to prominence in the late 1980s, Crawford was part of the original “Big Five” supermodels who commanded unprecedented cultural influence. Unlike many of her contemporaries, Crawford viewed her beauty as a brand from the outset. Her 1992 Pepsi Super Bowl commercial remains one of the most iconic pieces of advertising in history, yet it was her 2004 decision to partner with Guthy-Renker for Meaningful Beauty that secured her financial legacy. By opting for equity over a standard endorsement fee, she built an asset that continues to dominate the direct-to-consumer skincare market two decades later.
In recent years, Crawford has embraced her role as a “fashion matriarch.” Her participation in the 2023 Apple TV+ docuseries The Super Models revitalized global interest in her career, while her mentorship of her daughter, Kaia Gerber, has ensured the Crawford name remains central to the fashion industry. Even as she approaches her 60th birthday, Crawford continues to front major campaigns, such as the 2025 “American Icons” series for Good American, proving that her appeal transcends generational boundaries. Her career serves as a masterclass in longevity, brand management, and the strategic evolution from a public figure into a private powerhouse.
