Kathy Ireland is still gorgeous than ever. After posting for the swimsuit issue of the magazine Sports Illustrated 25 years ago, the graceful model still stuns on the red carpet.
On January 15, the model attended the Sports Illustrated event called '50 Years of Beautiful' held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
The SI swimsuit issue has featured well-known models by the likes of Tyra Banks, Cheryl Tiegs, Heidi Klum, Christie Brinkley and Kate Upton, none of these models were in the issue that topped the best-selling one, the issue where Kathy Ireland was featured. Ireland was featured in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition for over 13 consecutive years. These even included a moment when she was pregnant.
If you think Ireland's career stopped with Sports Illustrated, think again because the now 50-year-old model has already built a mega-business with her own brand. She has tried Hollywood and did countless roles in television and film, but the successful model has found more impressive accomplishments inside the boardroom.
She is now the CEO of Kathy Ireland Worldwide, and she has created a 2 billion dollar empire with licensed products. Her company motto is "finding solutions for families, especially busy moms." Now, she has also been dubbed the Richest Supermodel in the World by People Magazine.
She has also produced bestselling workout videos and runs a mentoring program for single teen moms. Motivational titles of her videos include Powerful Inspirations: Eight Lessons that Will Change Your Life. Now she's trying her hand at pet care, partnering with Worlwise, an eco-friendly pet product company. They're planning to name their products 'Kathy Ireland Loved Ones'.
This accomplishment of Kathy Ireland just goes to show that you should never misjudge a person just because she looks good in a bikini.
Watch her here at the 50 Years of Beautiful event.
