At the age of 15, Valletta was enrolled in a modeling school which became her first step into the fashion industry. She became part of the Linda Layman Agency which featured other future supermodels including Kate Moss, Shalom Harlow and Carolyn Murphy. Her popularity soon started to grow and so did her net worth. She appeared 13 times on the cover of “American Vogue”, second only to Claudia Schiffer’s 16 covers. She also worked as the face of Gucci, Valentino, Prada, Chanel, and Giorgio Armani, eventually earning multi-million dollar cosmetic contracts with Elizabeth Arden and Calvin Klein which increased her net worth quickly.

Three years later, she became part of “Duplex” as Celine, and would then play the role of Martina in “Raising Helen”. She had her first major role in the romantic comedy “Hitch” which became a critical and financial success, and then in “Transporter 2” which starred Jason Statham. In 2007, she would be cast in “Premonition”, “My Sexiest Year”, and “Dead Silence”, all adding to her net worth, and two years later was in the action film “Gamer” alongside Gerard Butler, however, it gained negative reviews. In 2010, she then starred in “The Spy Next Door” playing the love interest of Jackie Chan’s character.

Amber also ventured into television work, being cast in the soap opera “Revenge”. In 2014, she was a regular cast member of “Legends”, and the following year, she starred in the series “Blood & Oil” which was short lived, but her net worth continued to rise.

Quote
1 They looked at me and said, “Let’s cut your hair off.” We went back to my apartment in Paris and just cut it all off. Two guys cutting my hair at the same time.
2 My mom was proud but very hands off. She didn’t really know enough about the industry, and she didn’t have the time to stop her life to go chaperone me… she was probably a little naïve.
3 Women can be strong, be smart, be sexy, be mothers, be wives, and be powerful. We don’t need to compromise.
