Inside Her $10 Billion Lifestyle

The model’s secretive new life is worlds away from her upbringing

Arriving by private jet and flanked by security, Aussie model Miranda Kerr went quietly unnoticed as she slipped back into Sydney almost three weeks ago.

The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper reported on November 14 that the US-based Kora Organics skincare founder was on a “mercy dash” to see her family after an elderly relative fell “gravely ill”.

The devastating news was sure to come as a blow for Kerr, 37, who’s been separated from her Australian relatives, including her grandmother Ann, parents Therese and John and younger brother Matt, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

However, an undisclosed family emergency meant Kerr quickly returned to Australia with her sons Flynn, 9, Hart, 2, and 13-month-old Myles, leaving behind the extravagant life she shares with her second husband, Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel, 30, at their $16 million Brentwood mansion in California.

The successful entrepreneur’s life today is totally unrecognisable from the one she had while growing up in the country town of Gunnedah in New South Wales. Kerr found fame at age 13 after entering and winning Dolly magazine’s annual Model Search competition in 1997.
