                                            business savvy. Omega,
                               Revlon and Pepsi offered long-term contracts
                               recognizing that these attributes united
                               with Crawford’s timeless beauty were a solid
                               investment.

                               “I like to work. The self-esteem and satisfaction
                               that I get from working makes me a better
                               person, which makes me a better mom...”

                               Crawford is a devoted mother to her two
                               children and continues to endorse a variety
                               of entrepreneurial and charitable projects. In
                               2005, she created a line of beauty products with
                               Jean-Louis Sebagh called Meaningful Beauty.
                               She plans on continuing to develop her home
                               accessory and furniture businesses as well as
                               expanding her product range in the beauty
                               industry.

                               Cindy Crawford

                               first came to Mexico’s Baja Peninsula twenty-
                               five years ago for a fashion photo shoot and is
                               now a part-time resident. Crawford and her
                               husband Rande Gerber teamed with longtime
                               friend and business partner George Clooney to
                               build stunning side-by-side oceanfront retreats
                               where family and friends come together
                               for holidays. The name of this compound,
                               ‘Casamigos’ or House of Friends, says it all. It is
                               also the brand name of Gerber’s and Clooney’s
                               collective venture in award-winning premium
                               Tequilas.

                               “If I had to label my supermodel moment,
                               I would say it was that Versace show
                               when Naomi, Linda, Christy, and I all
                               came out together. We had just done the
                               George Michael video for “Freedom,” and
                               George was in the front row, and we came
                               out skipping and holding hands. It felt
                               like the stars had aligned.”
