It's easy to see how Yolanda Hadid managed to make her fortune, even with no family wealth to get her started. Not only did she have the drive to succeed, she was also always smart with her money. As a young, successful model in New York City, it would have been easy for Hadid to throw it all away on parties, cars, and designer clothes. Instead, she was smart about her finances.
"I was keeping tally marks for every thousand dollars I was making," she told Money. "I came here to make money and go home and buy my horses and take care of my family and continue my life in Holland — America is just so great for that," she went on. In other words, Hadid had a plan — she was making money for her family, and one day, she would go back.
Not only did she keep track of her earnings, she also avoided spending. However, she did make one smart investment at 21: a Los Angeles apartment. She explained, "That was probably a good move because I sold it many, many years later, and made a lot of money off it. I was always interested in how I could make money."
