Tyra Banks

First Black woman on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue (1997). First Black woman on the cover of GQ. Then she retired from modeling at 32 and built an even bigger empire: America's Next Top Model ran 24 seasons across 170+ countries. She coined "SMIZE," earned a Harvard Business School certificate, created Bankable Productions, and amassed a $90 million fortune. Banks proved that a supermodel's shelf life doesn't have to end at 30 — you just need a camera pointing the other direction.
