Kimora Lee Perkins was born on May 4, 1975, and her home is St. Louis, located in Missouri, United States. Her mother is Japanese, while her father’s work was associated with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. However, her father spent three terms in the prison while K. Lee Simmons was studying at school. Kimora attended Lutheran North School and after graduation started her career which led to Simmons’s net worth increasing quickly. Kimora was not a popular girl during her school years, but thanks to the help of her mother managed to believe in herself.
Kimora’s modeling career actually started when she was only 14 years – she had an opportunity to work with Karl Lagerfeld – German photographer and artist, director of Chanel fashion house. As an actress, Kimora made her debut in 1993, appearing in “For Love or Money” directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. Although she did not have a main role, Kimora gained the experience she needed so much to continue earning net worth. After her debut Simmons’s net worth did not increase greatly, moreover, no one even thought about her as an actress, and later, when she appeared in background roles of several more movies, she did not manage to show her talent.
Then in year 2006 the situation changed – the drama action movie entitled “Waist Deep” was released, and there Lee Simmons starred together with Meagan Good, Tyrese Gibson and Larenz Tate. As the movie was directed by the famous Vondie Curtis-Hall, it surely gained popularity and the net worth established by such a great actress as Kimora Lee also started to increase.
Later she also appeared in the reality show “Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane” aired on Style Network. Later one more spin off of the show was released and entitled “Kimora: House of Fab”.
