Yvette Prieto Bio (Age)
Yvette Prieto was born in Cuba in March 1979 in the family of Carlos and Maria Prieto. Like many models of her time, modeling wasn’t her thing at first.

Her father’s drive to invest flows so much into her. She is a director of a number of Miami based companies such as; Sugar Beets, the LBS and Aqua Management. As a model, Yvette Prieto was very politically aware, having previously been an active member of the Republican Party. However, she has become independent.
