Kerr has an estimated net worth of $45 million, a result of years spent as a supermodel coupled with endorsements, including Swarovski crystals, Samantha Thavasa handbags, and her own beauty and skincare line. Not bad, right?
But not enough for the Aussie stunner. Despite being filthy rich in her own right, Kerr accepted more than $8.1 million worth of jewelry from Malaysian billionaire Jho Low, who she reportedly dated for a year between her marriages to Orlando Bloom and Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel, respectively. In June 2017, The Wall Street Journal reported that Kerr had to hand over her baubles to U.S. government agents.
"From the start of the inquiry, Miranda Kerr co-operated fully and pledged to turn over the gifts of jewelry to the government," Kerr's publicist told the newspaper. "Ms. Kerr will continue to assist with the inquiry in any way she can."
The paper reported that the jewels, which included an 11.72-carat heart-shaped diamond given to Kerr for Valentine's Day in 2014, were identified in civil-forfeiture lawsuits filed by the United States Justice Department. The department is said to be seeking goods allegedly purchased with misappropriated funds. At the time of this writing, Low has not been accused of a crime.
