Fashion designer Vera Wang, best known for her chic bridal collections that are celebrity favorites for red carpet events and weddings–this year she dressed Chelsea Clinton, Hilary Duff and Alicia Keys for their big day–spent 16 years as an editor at “Vogue” before starting her own business. Like many designers today, Wang has expanded beyond her foundation of bridal and high-end ready-to-wear. In 2002, she dipped into the mid-priced home fashion industry, selling bath, bedding, and housewares. Since 2007, she has also produced a mass-market line, Simply Vera By Vera Wang, for chain store Kohls.
Vera Wang was born in New York and has an estimated net worth of $650 million. She is currently listed as one of America’s richest self-made women.
