Apple TV ‘The Super Models’: A look at Naomi Campbell, how much is she worth and is she married?

Naomi Campbell is one of the most famous supermodels in the world. She started her career at the age of 15 and was the first black woman to appear on the front covers of Time and Vogue France. 

Now the supermodel, 53, along with Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington, will discuss about what life was really like working as a supermodel in the nineties in Apple TV’s ‘The Super Model’ docu-series. 

Naomi Campbell was born in London on May 22 1970 to Valerie Morris. Her father left when her mother was four months pregnant and she has never met him. He is not named on her birth certificate and so she took the surname "Campbell" from her mother's second marriage.
