Tyra Banks

Founder, Bankable Enterprises

The former model has built a distinct brand -- and media empire -- by presenting herself as the fun, driven mentor to a young, multiethnic, and aspirational female demographic. No idle pretty face, Tyra Banks, 35, has taken a hyperactive hand in creating several reality programs, including America's Next Top Model and Stylista, and produces those along with her successful daytime talk show. Top Model, now filming its 13th season, is syndicated in 100 countries and has more than 30 international editions. The Tyra Banks Show, which aired its 600th episode this year, regularly bests Oprah Winfrey's show among 18- to 34-year-olds. -- by Kate Rockwood

The Top Model episode where Tyra had models act as dead, bleeding, decapitated, multililated victims for a 'fashion shoot' shows that this woman will stop at nothing for ratings.

Quotes

"Smiles come naturally to me, but I started thinking of them as an art form at my command. I studied all the time. I looked at magazines, I'd practice in front of the mirror and I'd ask photographers about the best angles. I can now pull out a smile at will."
- Banksable, The New York Times

"I do know about body image. About worrying about it. I made my living being 20 or 30 pounds heavier than the average model. And that's where I got famous. Victoria's Secret said I sold more bras and panties than anybody else, and I was traipsing down that runway with 30 pounds more booty than the other girls. So it had a lot to do with my success, my weight, but it's also always been issue for me, so I can relate."
- Interview: Tyra Banks - The supermodel turned spokeswoman, The Guardian
