7. Amanda Lepore – Net Worth: $1.7 million
Amanda Lepore is an artist, singer, model and muse. Born a male in New Jersey, the artist always knew she was different.
“Ever since I can first remember, I knew I was a girl. I couldn’t understand why my parents were dressing me up in boys clothing. I thought they were insane.”
When she was 19 years old, she underwent gender reassignment surgery. She has been through a lot in order to achieve the look she has always wanted, including having her ribs broker in order to look thinner.
In her opinion, it has all paid off, “When the press found out I was transsexual, they liked me even more. It was really validating. I became kind of the ‘It’ transsexual.”
