Tyra Banks
First Black SI Swimsuit cover. ANTM: 24 seasons, 170 countries.
Tyra Banks became the first Black woman on the covers of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue (1997) and GQ, then retired at 32 to build a $90 million empire. America's Next Top Model ran 24 seasons in 170+ countries, proving a supermodel's shelf life can extend past 30 with a camera pointing the other way. She coined 'SMIZE,' earned a Harvard Business School certificate, and created Bankable Productions—a broader media reach than Cindy Crawford's skincare line.
