Candice Swanepoel is a South African model with an estimated net worth of $10 million. She was born on October 20, 1988 in South Africa. Her father is Willem and her mother is Eileen. She has a brother, and they are the only two children her parents have. When she was just 15-years-old, she was in a flea market with her family in Durban when a modeling agent spotted her and asked her to sign with their company to become a famous model. Dubious at first, she was against it but eventually decided to give it a shot. Throughout her childhood her parents wanted her to become worldly and educated, so they made sure she was fluent in three languages: English, Afrikaans and Portuguese. She actually did not learn Portuguese until she was 17 and met male model Hermann Nicoli, whom she has been dating for 11 years.
In her early years modeling, Candice Swanepoel did a lot of ad work for many of the biggest campaigns at the time. She worked with some of the most famous designers in the world, including Chanel and Fendi. She worked with Tommy Hilfigure and Oscar De La Renta, Christian Dior and Ralph Lauren. She’s even done work with Nike and dozens of the other most famous brands and designers in the world. She’s worked both their print ads and their runways shows during fashion weeks across the globe. She has no issues with her ability to model, and she’s not afraid to try new things and get out there to show off her skills.
Even though Candice Swanepoel was a model for many years, she did not become a household name until she was named a Victoria’s Secret Angel in 2010. Victoria’s Secret is not a high-end fashion designer, but it’s perhaps the most famous modeling job in the world. All models want to land a gig with this lingerie company because it is the ultimate job of all modeling jobs, and Candice Swanepoel was perfect for it with her beauty and her girl-next-door look and attitude. She was so good that the brand chose her to become their 2013 cover model for their swim catalog and then chose her to wear their Fantasy Bra while walking in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show the same year.
She frequently earns a spot on the Maxim Hot 100 list as well as the FHM annual sexiest women in the world list. She’s beautiful, and she’s also one of the top-earning models in the world. As far as her personal life is concerned, she’s been dating her boyfriend, a Brazilian supermodel, for more than 11 years. They announced their engagement in 2015 and that they are expecting their first child together earlier in 2016. She was recently on the cover of many websites and magazines baring her baby bump alongside her supermodel friend and wife of Adam Levine, Behati Prinsloo while in the pool together on vacation. She will continue to model after giving birth, but will put motherhood first.
