Babi Rossi’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Babi Rossi Net Worth: Babi Rossi is a Brazilian model and singer who has a net worth of $8 million dollars. Born February 9, 1990, in San Paulo, Brazil, she started her early career as a model and made her entrance into the world of television as an assistant in stage programming for the popular show Brothers Television Network and The Best of Brazil’s Record. In 2010, she got a break when she joined the comedy program Pânico na TV as a panicat (a group of models in tiny bikinis who dance and sing on the stage during the program and often become subjects for the show’s pranks). Rossi won the hearts of the male audience and currently holds the record for the panicat having the longest term on the show. The show was a huge boost to her career and Rossi subsequently landed several advertising campaigns. She also became the cover girl of many men’s magazines, including Playboy. Her career as a panicat was met with many controversies, the most prominent of which was a head-shaving episode. On April 22, 2012 her head was shaved as a prank on the show. The audience initially thought it as a fake stunt. Rossi was unaware of what was about to happen and very shocked over the crew’s decision. She tried to get out of it, even crying for help, but the crew mercilessly proceeded to shave her head, live on television. Critics, bloggers and newspapers severely criticized the show, stating that their prank crossed a line. Apparently, that particular episode holds the record for the most watched episode in the show’s history. “Bald Babi” became the hot topic of discussion on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, and that particular episode earned Rossi international attention and elevated fame. To everyone’s surprise, Babi Rossi later responded to the controversy rather mildly and said she enjoyed it.
