Naomi Campbell 'black panther' in the modeling village, has 80 million USD still swallowing charity money

Naomi Campbell (SN 1970) grew up in London (England). Her mother is a Jamaican dancer of Chinese descent. Naomi's father abandoned the mother and daughter when the supermodel's mother was pregnant. Naomi had never met her biological father. Her childhood was spent with her mother and stepfather.

In her childhood years, Naomi used to follow her mother to perform and live in Italy. Her mother pursued the work of a professional dancer. After that, she sent Naomi back to an acquaintance in London (England) to take care of her to continue traveling the world, pursuing a career as a dancer.

Since she was a 3-year-old girl, Naomi has been exposed to art and studied ballet at the Conti Italian Academy of Arts (UK). Naomi got acquainted with entertainment quite early. She appeared in Bob Marley's music video Is This Love at the age of 7 and danced in Culture Club's I'll Tumble 4 Ya video at the age of 12.

At the age of 15, while shopping in Covent Garden (UK), Naomi was discovered and recruited by Beth Boldt, the director of the modeling agency Synchro Model Agency. She was on the cover of Elle magazine (UK) before turning 16 years old.

Naomi's modeling career developed rapidly. She was one of the top 3 models in the world in the late 1980s and 1990s.

Naomi is also on the list of 6 models who are praised as the first supermodels, or long legs that create the concept of "supermodel" with Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer and Kate Moss.

The beauty born in 1970 is also the first black model to appear on the covers of Time and Vogue magazines (France). In addition to her fashion career, Naomi is also active in the field of establishing a studio, writing books, acting in films, organizing reality shows looking for young models and is an active charity activist.

Up to now, when most of her colleagues have rested, Naomi is still active and influential in the fashion industry. According to Marie Claire magazine, Naomi Campbell ranks 10th on the list of "Richest Models of All Time". Celebrity Net World estimates that Naomi owns a net worth of about $80 million.

Besides her fame and successful career, Naomi has also experienced many ups and downs in her life. In 2010, the supermodel admitted that she had to go to 'mai thuy' since 1999. The beauty has given up drinking since 2012.

In her personal life, she has been engaged to U2 member - Adam Clayton, dating actor Leonardo DiCaprio, engaged to businessman Flavio Briatore, dating wealthy businessman Vladislav Doronin, attached to actor Robert De Niro, "rap mogul" Sean "Diddy" Combs and Usher.

After unsuccessful relationships, Naomi decided to become a single mother. The supermodel welcomed her first daughter in 2021, at the age of 51, and welcomed her son in June 2023. Both babies were born in the form of a surrogate. The black supermodel has great respect for former South African president Nelson Mandela and has repeatedly affirmed that he is the one who inspires her to be active in volunteer activities.

For the past 20 years, Naomi has been known as a celebrity who is dedicated to volunteer activities. In 2007, the British supermodel was elected honorary president of Athla Onlus, an Italian charity that supports young people with social inclusion learning disorders.

Also in 2007, Naomi was appointed ambassador of Rio de Janeiro for her contributions to We Love Brazil, a charity founded by Naomi in 2005 to fight poverty in Brazil.

In 2007, the black supermodel became a goodwill ambassador for the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood to carry out missions to raise awareness about the need for safe pregnancy and childbirth.

In the same year, the University of Trinity College (USA) awarded the 54-year-old star the title of Honorary Patron in recognition of her contributions to charity.

The supermodel is also active with the activities of the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund and Breakthrough Breast Cancer (a charity fund that supports breast cancer patients)... She also received the Outstanding Contribution Award from Elle magazine (UK) in 2010, honoring her career and ambassadorial role at the charity White Ribbon Alliance.

In addition to philanthropy, Naomi Campbell is also active in fighting racism in the fashion industry. In 2013, Naomi and colleagues such as Iman and Bethann Hardison founded the Diversity Coalition, which advocates for diversity and inclusion on the runway.

According to Reuters, Naomi Campbell has been banned from heading any charity in England and Wales for five years after an investigation alleging that the supermodel born in 1970 violated the management of the charity Fashion for Relief. This information is causing a stir in the world entertainment industry.

Fashion for Relief was founded by Naomi in 2015 to raise funds for humanitarian causes by hosting fashion shows. However, Fashion for Relief was removed from the list of British charities in early 2024 after it was investigated in 2021.

According to an investigation report published on September 26, the British Charities Committee said that it found many errors and irrationalities in the disbursement of Fashion for Relief charity funds. The regulator has recovered more than $535,000 from Fashion For Relief.

In the period from 2016 to 2022, the Fashion for Relief fund raised about 4.8 million pounds (nearly 158 billion VND) through fashion shows. However, the regulator found that only 8.5% of the money was transferred to charity grant accounts after covering the cost of the event and other fees.

Some of the misappropriated expenditures listed include a $16,500 flight from London to Nice (France) to deliver artwork and jewelry to a fundraising event in Cannes in 2018, $10,490 for a three-night stay at a five-star hotel, nearly 9,000 USD for spa treatments and hotel accommodation costs.
