Tyra Banks is one of the most iconic figures in the world of fashion and television, having transitioned from a supermodel of the 1990s to a media mogul with lasting cultural influence. In 2003, Banks stepped behind the scenes by creating and hosting the show «America's Next Top Model», - which became a global phenomenon and solidified her status in the entertainment industry.
Now, in 2026, Banks is back in the spotlight with a new three-part Netflix documentary titled «Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model», - which reexamines the legacy and controversies of the long-running show. In this film, Banks reflects on her role in shaping the cultural impact of the program, recalls the most talked-about moments, and openly discusses its more problematic history.
In addition to her return to media, Banks has built a multifaceted career that spans television, business ventures, and real estate, continuing to leverage her brand far beyond the runway. Here’s how this is reflected in her net worth today.
As of 2026, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Banks' net worth is estimated at $ 90 million.
While exact figures have never been publicly disclosed, it is estimated that Banks earned millions per cycle of «America's Next Top Model» as host and executive producer. At the height of the show’s popularity, it was reported that she earned between $ 5 to $ 10 million a year from the franchise through salary and production profits.
Since Banks retained a significant ownership stake and producer credits, she benefited not only from her hosting fee but also from international licensing agreements, syndication, and brand expansion related to the show. The long-term success of ANTM remains one of the largest factors contributing to her overall wealth
