Isabella Barrett's life at age 9 (isabellabarrett123)

You may not remember her by name, but the pictures will definitely look familiar to you.

The American Isabella Barrett made headlines almost 7 years ago when she was crowned the most successful girl in the world when she was only 9 years old. She made her first million at the age of 6 and three years later she had already become an award-winning model and shrewd businesswoman with her own clothing line and shares in two successful companies.

Today, after winning 55 crowns and 85 titles in her beauty pageant career, Isabella is only 15 years old and while many models retire after a career of a decade, her real life is just beginning.

Isabella Barrett, like Honey Boo Boo (and definitely different from her), became famous on the reality show Toddlers & Tiaras which followed beauty pageants for toddlers.

Her first million, her mother claims, she made all by herself.

She launched a line of clothes and jewelry, won beauty contests, modeled at New York Fashion Week and invested in two successful companies that brought her a lot of money.

Her estimated worth as of today is almost 2 million dollars.

All this money gives her a life of luxury: shopping, a private driver, a limousine, luxury brands and many parties she organizes for her high-class friends.

Isabella, who lives with her mother in Rhode Island, USA, said that her pocket money is $30,000 a week. In recent years, she launched her own fashion brand, House of Barretti, and walked with it on the New York Fashion Week runway. She told Truly for the hard work she did at such a young age and admits that not all of her businesses were successful, like the teddy bear business she started and failed. She said: "I have a jewelry line that brought me a million dollars, I had a clothing line that brought me a million dollars.

My teddy bear business was less successful.

Despite the success, I still spend time with my girlfriends.

I enjoy it." She told how just recently she spent $80,000 on a party she organized for her friends: "Being a millionaire by working hard has opened so many doors for me... But as long as I enjoy it, that's all that matters," she added.

She previously told Twenty2 how she became a star in US girl beauty pageants after trying one and getting hooked: “I tried one pageant and I loved it.

In the end, the crew of the German TV show chose me and then everything just started from there," she said. Although she spends without realizing it, she said that "in her youth" she had more modest ambitions. She even dreamed of becoming a teacher, even though she earned her first million Before she even finished elementary school.

Today she no longer participates in beauty pageants as she is a successful entrepreneur with a skincare, beauty and fashion line - as well as busy working days as a model for various brands. She launched her first independent fashion line in 2021 and first presented her work on the runway at Fashion Week in New York last September.

She said: "When I was younger and I was performing in pageants... actually even now, I felt that teenagers and adults find it hard to find something good to wear because it's too formal, too itchy or uncomfortable. I created a line that's both comfortable but also very formal, one that looks great." .

This is what her life looks like today:

And so six years ago

rich or famous?

When Isabella Barrett was asked if she would rather be rich or famous, she replied: "Famous, because I get to meet friends. Money is not everything in life. The fun is meeting new people and having fun. I get to travel a lot around the world and meet a lot of new friends."

Isabella has more than 1.6 million followers on social media and was featured in the Amazon documentary, The Next Big Thing.

She told the MIRROR: "It feels amazing because I know everyone is looking at me and it's a big responsibility. My fans love me. They tell me I'm really cool and really beautiful. There's nothing not to love about being famous."

Isabella's mother, Susanna, added: "She definitely has expensive taste, but that's because our family values quality. It's not because of the fame."

Susanna has also been criticized in the past for letting her daughter wear makeup at such a young age.

She said: "People ask how I can allow her to appear in beauty pageants and let her wear make-up and high heels, but I think I've done a very good job. Her manners are impeccable. She loves her job. I want her to be what she wants to be. As a mother, that's all you want for your daughter, to just be happy."
