Vera Wang

Fashion designer with bridal empire

When designer Vera Wang opened her flagship bridal boutique in the Carlyle Hotel in 1990, she revolutionized the industry, bringing haute couture designs to the modern bride. She has since dressed some of the world's most famous brides, including Victoria Beckham, Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton. She has also designed evening gowns for the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama. Wang, who trained as a child to become a competitive figure skater, has also designed Olympic figure skating costumes, including Nancy Kerrigan's outfit for the 1992 winter games. The bulk of her fortune comes from licensing deals with Zales, Kohl's and David's Bridal. Wang works with the New York-Presbyterian Youth Anxiety Center to address anxiety disorders in teens and young adults. Bachelor of Arts / Science, Sarah Lawrence College
