Supermodel overcomes bankruptcy

How did the famous 90s model Maggie Rizer become overweight and bankrupt, earning an estimated $30,000 a day model, amassing a $7 million fortune? The supermodel, who graced the covers of Vogue, Prada and Calvin Klein ad campaigns, saw her fortune being gambled away by her stepfather, John Breen, who managed her accounts. Breen, who has pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to defraud, spent his days at a local pub, betting away on lottery tickets, and hiding his alcohol and gambling addiction from his step-daughter.

Rizer reacted by stopping with exercising and dieting on pizza and cocktails She went up from a size six to a size ten and was no longer in demand with her modelling agency IMG. Today, however, she has lost the weight and has already done a catwalk show for Hugo by Hugo Boss. IMG have taken her back on their books and are promoting her to reclaim her place at the pinnacle of the fashion world, where she once stood.
