Christie Brinkley is an American model and actress with an estimated net worth of $80 million. She is 5’9″ and weighs 125 pounds. Christie Brinkley was born on February 2, 1954 in Monroe, Michigan. Christie’s father, Don Brinkley, was a television producer and writer. It would’ve been easy for the blonde haired blue-eyed All-American beauty to enter the Hollywood scene but she chose a different route. At the age of 18, Brinkley moved to Paris, France to attend art school.
Brinkley worked as an illustrator for three years. One day while walking the streets of Paris, she caught the attention of an American photographer. He urged her to begin a career as a fashion model. Christie was initially hesitant to leave her creative work for a career in the demanding fashion world. She eventually gave modeling a try, and soon became one of the most in-demand models in the world.
During the 80s Brinkley graced the covers of over 200 magazines. She was a Sports Illustrated cover model for three consecutive issues (1979-1981). She also landed multiple celebrity endorsement deals with brands like Cover Girl cosmetics, Chanel perfume, and Prell shampoo. Christie also branched out into television and film appearing as Chevy Chase’s dream girl in National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983). She also appeared in Billy Joel’s music video for the smash hit “Uptown Girl”, at that time the two were married. Towards the end of the eighties, the fashion world went through a trend of booking exotic women and women of color. The demand for the All-American girl was low and her charm charm faded.
Heading into her sixties, Christie still models and has a body that rivals women a third of her age. She is currently a Cover Girl and Total Gym spokesmodel. In April 2012, she reprised the role of Roxie Hart in the Broadway musical Chicago. In 2012, the Daily Mail ranked Brinkley third on the “World’s Richest Models” list. Christie owns most of her real estate in the Hamptons. She has three children and is currently single.
