Elle Macpherson – Born In 1964

Most supermodels have fantastic bodies, but Elle Macpherson’s was so incredible that TIME Magazine dubbed her “The Body” in 1989. The Australian dominated magazine covers and was a massive hit in high-fashion and commercial campaigns. Her fashion magazine covers were only the beginning of her career. Her beauty aided her in breaking into the sports and movie world.

Her good looks may have launched her career, but we’re more impressed with her investment money nowadays. Today, Macpherson is in Australia working out the logistics of her enterprises. We’re amazed and perhaps a little dazed, trying to imagine the amount of planning for running two firms from a different time zone. She’s currently enjoying motherhood with her two grown sons. She defines success as “being able to manage the ups and downs of life with grace and humor, learn from the experience, and apply what you’ve learned.”
