How Much Is The 'World's Most Beautiful Girl' Thylane Blondeau Worth?

From Kendall Jenner to Kaia Gerber, today's top young models often come from privileged backgrounds that have undoubtedly helped them skyrocket to superstardom. But for French model Thylane Blondeau, continued success is the result of a lifetime of hard work and unflinching appeal.

Named the "most beautiful girl in the world" at age six, Blondeau launched her modeling career two years prior when she walked the Jean Paul Gaultier runway in Paris at age four. By the time she turned 10, however, Blondeau found herself at the center of worldwide controversy when racy photos of the girl in a gold gown, high heels, and lots of makeup for Vogue Paris sparked outrage, as many felt the underage model was being sexualized.

At the time, Blondeau's mother, fashion designer Veronika Loubry, told a French newspaper (via ABC News): "The only thing that shocks me about the photo is the necklace that she's wearing, which is worth 3 million Euros (about $4.3 million)." Coincidentally, this is the same amount Blondeau was worth in 2021, per Glamour UK. According to SalaryList, the average salary for an IMG model is also $201,072, and Blondeau signed with IMG when she was 16. With years of experience under her belt, the model continues to amass an impressive fortune — even if she can't quite understand why. "I do not consider myself the most beautiful girl in the world!" Blondeau told L'Officiel in 2018. "When I was little, people always told me. But I did not even understand what they meant. Because who says that? Who says I am the most beautiful?"

Anyone who's ever browsed the web has probably seen the photo that earned model Thylane Blondeau her "Most Beautiful Girl in the World" title — even if you didn't know her by name until now. Yet while the French beauty has modeled for major designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, she looks to models like sisters Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid for fashion inspiration. "I'm trying to find my own style," she explained to Frivolette in 2018. But as she continued experimenting with her own personal vibe, she was also making plans to influence fans' fashion choices.

In 2018, Blondeau announced the pending launch of her own clothing line, Heaven May. "!!After working more than one year for you guys, HEAVEN MAY CLOTHING (my brand) is coming out really soon !! I can't wait for u guys to see all the collection I made," she posted on Instagram. At the time of writing, the label's website is no longer operational, and its Instagram page hasn't been updated since 2019, possibly because Blondeau created another brand, No Smile, the following year. The athleisure wear line featured pieces made in Paris, and its unusual name was inspired by Blondeau's tendency to avoid flashing her pearly whites in photos. "I'd rather no smile than do a fake smile," she wrote on Instagram, assuring her fans that her serious expression doesn't mean she's unhappy.

The No Smile Instagram page has since been taken down, so it seems she put her aspirations to build a clothing empire on hold. While many celebs make good money selling apparel, it is a competitive space. However, Blondeau's entrepreneurial spirit was far from crushed, and she set her sights on another market loaded with products touted by some of Hollywood's biggest stars. 

Beauty and brains and a business owner, oh my! On April 28, 2025, Thylane Blondeau once again proved that she is so much more than just a pretty face when she released her very own haircare line: ENALYHT. "Each product has been designed with care and love, favoring high-performance ingredients that you can rely on every day," Blondeau said about the line on the brand's official website. Her famous competitors in the haircare space include some celebrities with very envied hair: Jennifer Aniston and Blake Lively. But Blondeau's different background sets her apart.

According to Blondeau, as a young model, it was always important to her to find good, quality hair products. "I quickly realized that the effectiveness of a product wasn't enough. The purity of the ingredients and their real impact on the hair are just as essential," she explained in the "ABOUT" section of her website. "I made a promise to myself: if I managed to regain healthy, strong, and natural hair, I would create my own line. A line that was respectful, effective, and authentic." At the time of writing, Blondeau currently offers three different products: a shampoo, a hair mask, and a hair oil. 

During her journey from model to entrepreneur, Blondeau was a L'Oreal Paris ambassador, and she's worked with beauty brands including Chanel and Carita Paris. So, she definitely has the know-how to successfully promote products. And if her haircare line fails, she has other talents to fall back on. "I play the piano, guitar and drums. And I'm singing," she told Frivolette. "But I'm terribly embarrassed about everything I do." Still, we can't wait to see what's ahead!
