Croydon-born Kate, who started modelling aged 14 in 1988, runs six private firms
KATE MOSS has made a fortune as one of the world’s most successful fashion models – but it turns out she’s a canny entrepreneur too.
New accounts show she has banked £4.3MILLION in profits by managing other models including her daughter Lila and singer Rita Ora.

Figures for Kate Moss Agency, which she set up in 2016, have soared.
As well as looking after her own career, the talent agency represents Ella Richards — granddaughter of Rolling Stones’ Keith — and model Thomas Eblen, aka Blondey McCoy.
The accounts were signed off by Kate last week and filed at Companies House.
They show the firm held £5.9million in assets, including £2.6million in cash, and owed £1.5million in bills.
Clever Kate, who is a director of the company, owed just £13 in bank loans and overdrafts.
Its net assets have jumped from £3.5million in July 2022 to £4.31million.
“It was also at the time Kate herself was changing her lifestyle and stopping her renowned partying.
“So it has been a roaring success and she has other high-profile stars, like Rita, on the books.
“Kate has so much experience in the industry and has been able to apply it to what she knows best — modelling.”
Croydon-born Kate, who started modelling aged 14 in 1988, runs six private firms, including her agency and her wellness brand Cosmoss.
On her daughter’s career, she previously said: “She understands she can say no, for one thing, which I never did, and she has the right people around her — I’ve made sure of that.
Kate seems to have undergone quite the transformation, leaving her partying days behind her. It’s clear she’s made significant changes to her lifestyle, including giving up drinking. While she may have traded in the cocktails for healthier options like a cup of tea and a salad, her success is definitely worth celebrating. It’s a testament to her dedication and commitment to a more balanced and sensible way of living. Cheers to Kate’s newfound path!
LOVE THE NEW LOOK, MAISIE
MAISIE WILLIAMS looks a world away from her Game Of Thrones days in this structured tweed dress in New York.
Sporting eyebrows that would make Cara Delevingne’s look thin, the English actress – who found fame as GoT’s Arya Stark – was at a Q&A for her Apple+ series The New Look.

Maisie’s commitment to her role as Christian Dior’s sister Catherine in the new film set in the 1940s is admirable. She dedicated herself fully to the character, even stepping away from her usual responsibilities and social connections to fully immerse herself in the role. Maisie’s decision to disconnect from her friends, family, and phone for a month shows her dedication and focus on her craft.
Indeed, the idea of a high-paying job without the need to constantly check emails or be tethered to a phone sounds appealing. It’s a reminder of the value of disconnecting from technology and immersing oneself fully in the present moment, whether it be for work or personal pursuits.
SAB’S SINGLE
Sabrina Carpenter’s single “Espresso” is making waves in the charts, climbing from No5 to No1 in the midweek update. It’s poised to dethrone Taylor Swift and Post Malone’s collaboration “Fortnight” from the top spot after just a week. However, the competition is tight, with less than 1,000 copies separating the two songs.
Despite the competition, Taylor Swift’s songs from her album “The Tortured Poets Department” continue to maintain their popularity. “Fortnight” currently sits at No2, “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” holds the No7 spot, and “Down Bad” follows closely at No8. While Sabrina Carpenter is making a strong showing, Taylor Swift’s enduring popularity ensures she remains a formidable force in the charts.
WHO COULD THIS BIE?
HE has sold more 150million records in a career spanning 15 years – but I can’t blame you if you don’t recognise Justin Bieber here.
The Canadian singer has grown a long, scraggly beard and showed off photos of his new facial hair on Instagram, as he continues a musical hiatus.

He quit his tour in 2022 citing health issues and has been having time out ever since, although he did pop up at Coachella earlier this month to perform with singer TEMS.
Fingers crossed, new music is on the way.
But shaving the beard might be a good idea before that.
ZARA: GIVE ME MORE HATERS
MOST singers surely want more fans – but not Zara Larsson.
She claims you are only truly loved when you have got a load of people slating you as well.

Zara’s perspective on handling criticism and staying focused on her passion for music is refreshing. Embracing a few haters as a sign of success and dedication from her fans, she recognizes that indifference is more concerning than criticism.
Her shift away from obsessing over chart positions and numbers reflects a healthy attitude towards her career. Instead, she emphasizes her love for performing, writing songs, and singing. While she appreciates the perks that come with success, she prioritizes her genuine enjoyment of the creative process.
It’s easy for artists to become consumed by streaming metrics in today’s digital landscape, but Zara’s stance serves as a reminder that the heart of music should always be about the artistry and expression.
Bizbit
I ENJOYED a nostalgic trip to see Blue last week during their Greatest Hits tour.
But before they even took to the stage, I was hooked.
Vegas-born rising star Max Rae is opening for the boys, bringing with her an array of Glasto-worthy sequin catsuits.
Max performed a cover of Spice Girls hit Wannabe as well as her latest single Keep You Waiting.
She is one to watch.
