Top 10 Celebrity Girls via Forbes “The Celebrity 100″

I have just received information about one of my most favorite Forbes lists – “The Celebrity 100“. I somehow missed to write my thoughts about it last year, but if you are interested you can see my opinion on this two years ago.

“The Celebrity 100″ is put together taking into consideration not only the amount of money each celebrity earned during the year, but also their web and other media influence. So, in order to be considered as the most successful, celebrities should not only earn money, but also create a buzz around their name over the year.

I was happy to see that 7 celebrity girls are in the top 10! Amazing, it leaves the room for only 3 guys on the top. Only Justin Bieber made it to the 3rd place, Tom Cruise on the 9th and Steven Spielberg on the 10th. Guess this means celebrity girls know how to earn money and make people talk about them much better than guys.

And by the way 3 of the girls from top 20 were seen in “11 Most Successful Celebrity Girls of 2011” feature here on Rich Girls Club. Which makes me really happy These 3 girls are: Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Beyonce Knowles.

Anyway, back to “The Celebrity 100″ list by Forbes. As we are only interested in girls and their success stories, here is the Top 10 Most Successful Celebrity Girls:

1 – Jennifer Lopez – $52 Million

2 – Oprah Winfrey – $165 Million

3 – Rihanna – $53 Million

4 – Lady Gaga – $52 Million

5 – Britney Spears – $58 Million

6 – Kim Kardashian – $18 Million

7 – Katy Perry – $45 Million

8 – Taylor Swift – $57 Million

9 – Angelina Jolie – $20 Million

10 – Beyonce Knowles – $40 Million

As we can see from this list, although Oprah Winfrey earned a whopping $165 Million this year, she is still a little behind Jennifer Lopez. Somehow I don’t think that Oprah is frustrated, at least I wouldn’t be if I were her. Funny thing is that only yesterday, I thought about Jennifer Lopez. I noticed that she appears in almost every advertisement lately: Fiat, Gillette, Kohl’s, L’Oreal, her own fragrance. She was also a face for Spanish brand Tous and even appeared in Gucci commercials with her kids. Jennifer Lopez also has a strong social media following with 6.6 million on Twitter and 12 million on Facebook. She is the star-judge on American Idol and this weekend (18.05.2012) the long awaited movie “What To Expect When You Are Expecting” is coming out with J.Lo as one of the stars. I guess that Forbes’ journalist Dorothy Pomerantz couldn’t be more precise calling Jennifer Lopez “a state-of-the-art celebrity success story.”

Although Kim Kardashian earned far less than her top 10 celebrity peers, she definitely gained massive publicity with her wedding and divorce. I guess any publicity counts, even the bad one.

I think it is very useful to look at the lists like this one, because it inspires you to try harder and dream a little bit bigger. When I see that there are girls who can succeed in this world beyond my wildest imagination with their talent, hard work, a little bit of luck and other wits, it helps me to move forward and try a little bit harder. The other reason why I love “The Celebrity 100″ list, is that these people earned their money and not inherited them. One more thing to admire and respect them for.

What about you, rich girls? Do you feel inspired by the success of other people?

Yours,

Rich Girl

Interview With Photographer – Dinara Nikiforova

I have met Dinara a while ago while we were working on the same project together. I loved her creative approach to things since then, she always had a talent to stand out from the crowd and everything she does is just so cool! The latest thing I loved about Dinara is the photo shoot she did for me during my summer visit to Jurmala, Latvia. I just loved the result of our work and think that everyone should know about this great person and professional photographer! And, yes! Dinara is a real Rich Girl, she has everything a girl could only dream of – the perfect Man, her own design company, amazing career as a professional photographer, she has numerous interests and hobbies and the latest addition to this long list is her precious baby daughter Daria. I want to congratulate Dinara on all her achievements and to find out more about her plans for the future. Below is the transcript of the chat we had over skype the other day! You will find out a lot of inspiring and interesting things about this talented girl!

R.G.: Hi, Dinara! I just don’t know where to start From all your numerous interests and projects what is the most important to you: your design company or your work as a photographer? What brings you pleasure and financial reward, of course?

Dinara: Photography brings me more pleasure and design company more financial reward. Design is what I have been doing since 1998 and I only started to work as a photographer about 6 years ago.

R.G.: Do you remember the moment when you said to yourself – I want to be a professional photographer?!

Dinara: I haven’t just decided that I want to become a professional photographer, my passion for photography started when I realized that I want to have a professional digital photo camera. In order to know how to use it and gain all benefits from it, I signed up for photography classes and my passion started there. I found out what kind of equipment I need and what exactly I want from a photography during these classes and seminars. After I learned what kind of magical things I can do with my camera, I realized that this is exactly what I want to do in my life and started to offer my services for money. But I am not a regular photographer who takes all orders that come my way, I only pick those projects I like and am interested in. This way I can guarantee the excellent results, because I will always work with passion.

R.G.: What is the best and most exciting thing about being a photographer?

Dinara: The most exciting thing for me about being photographer is the actual process of getting ready for the photo shoot. In order to make a great photograph you first need to create a story or a tale around it. This is almost like what directors are doing in the movie sets. You create the story; find appropriate location, models, and outfits. And the next great thing is to see the end result and get positive feedback about your work. I love when people like my work and express their gratitude and admiration.

R.G.: Do you have your favorite photograph which you are the most proud of? Can you share it with us?

Dinara: I work in genre photography. This is not a portrait, this is not a landscape, this is the display of an action which stirs emotions. One of my favorite photographs are lady in the Sea with umbrella and a photograph with Rome.

R.G.: What do you like to capture the most: people or nature? Why?

Dinara: I love to work with people under the rain. Actually, I love working in rainy weather. I have noticed that the best pictures I have ever made were with rain. And no, I don’t like to make pictures of nature.

R.G.: If you had an opportunity to make a photo of any celebrity in the world, who would you like to work with?

Dinara: George Clooney, oh!! I love him, what a man! He is very charismatic and while working with him I would probably use his macho man image. I think we could have made some really great photographs together.

R.G.: Tell us about your design company. How did you start it?

Dinara: We opened our company together with my colleagues from previous work. We wanted to be independent and stop working for someone.

After a while we realized that owning a company in reality is quite a challenging thing to do, because it is hard to organize productive and successful work flow, especially when all your colleagues are friends and co-founders. Also, at the moment I am sitting at home with a small child and can’t be actively involved in a work process.

R.G.: Is it hard to run a business when you are a girl?

Dinara: All my co-founders are men and of course the fact that I am a girl influences their attitude. Sometimes I feel like they don’t take me seriously. That’s why, girls, select your business partners carefully!

R.G.: I know that your baby daughter is more than 1 years old now! How your life has changed since then and how it will affect your future plans?

Dinara: My life has changed completely with the birth of the baby. And even though the child brings a lot of joy and the feeling that your life has gained new purpose, the first few months with the baby seems like your personal life has ended. In reality this is not true, in time you will learn how to manage to do all the things that you did before your child was born together with her.

The birth of my daughter didn’t change my future plans, because she is the part of the plan. I think that my child won’t be an obstacle in my creativity and professional growth. I plan to continue working and enjoying my career as a photographer and I also have some other exciting ideas, but it is a little bit early to reveal them now.

R.G.: How would you define success and can you call yourself a success? If not, what do you need to achieve to feel that way?

Dinara: There is a difference between feeling yourself successful and actually being one. I have never felt successful, there was always something I didn’t like about myself or my life. I always felt like something is missing or is not satisfying. I often feel like I am not good enough.

But in reality… Girls, learn how to dream properly and make your wishes come true! A few years ago one of my friends taught me how to do it. You need to make a list of everything you want to achieve and gain in your life, starting with simple things like new stockings and ending up with the most wildest and biggest dreams, dreams so exciting, that you are not even ready to share them with others!

I recently found a paper with the list of my dreams. And at the moment I have EVERYTHING from that list, except Mini Cooper car (instead I have Mercedes Benz, so I guess there was some kind of misunderstanding up there or someone just don’t know anything about car brands). So, according to this list I am quite a successful girl!

R.G.: What advice do you have for those who just like you want to start their own business or dream about becoming a photographer?

Dinara: Don’t be afraid to dream big and always study. Knowledge – is the power, studying – is the light!

R.G.: Do you love shopping?

Dinara: I love shopping, I don’t know any respectable girl who doesn’t! Shopping is the best antidepressant and personal psychiatrist, all in one. And even if you don’t need psychological help of any kind, shopping is a great way to spend your free time.

R.G.: What are your favorite brands?

Dinara: I am not a big fan of the brands, but I do love to wear something stylish and unusual. I like to look different and stand out from the rest of the crowd.

R.G.: And the last question: give us your definition of Rich Girl.

Dinara: Rich Girl – is a girl with a rich inner world and a man, who will buy her the rest.

R.G.: I love it! Thank you, Dinara, for such an interesting interview! It was a pleasure talking to you and I hope our readers enjoyed it too.

Dinara: Thank you and good luck!

I really enjoyed my conversation with Dinara, I hope you did too If you are interested in finding out more about Dinara and her work check out her portfolio and photo album.

So, girls, what do you think about the interview? If you have more questions to ask Dinara, feel free to post them in the comments below and she will be happy to answer them too. Also, if you want to be interviewed or you know someone whose interview should appear on Rich Girls Club, please contact me.

Yours,

Rich Girl

Gina Rinehart and her Endless Success

‘Success never comes along, but through stern determination, perseverance and God’s grace’. A successful person is one who works hard but smartly. All of us would have certainly read about several successful stories of great men. But having read about a successful woman, I decided to compile about her and her achievements in brief. Hard work can make a man rich but can it make a woman the richest on Earth? Yes, this has been made utterly possible and the cogent evidence is none other than, ‘Gina Rinehart- The Iron lady of Australia’.

Georgina Hope Rinehart, the richest woman in Australia

Source: http://www.abc.net.au/

Several magazines have reported Rinehart’s success stating that Georgina Hope Rinehart or Gina Rinehart, the richest person in Australia will soon become the richest person (woman) on Earth in just a few years from now. It is said that she will surpass both Carlos Slim and Bill Gates (currently the richest persons in the world) to become the richest person in the world. In a man-dominated world like ours, one would definitely be keen to know how this lone lady was able to achieve this unbelievable status at such an early age. To know more, let us briefly explore about her story and her success routes.

Early Life

Georgina Hope Rinehart was born on 9th of February 1954 at Perth in Australia to the late mining magnate Lang Hancock and late Hope Margaret Nicholas. She studied at St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls in Perth and later studied economics at The University of Sydney. Then she worked for her father as his Personal Assistant and gained extensive knowledge about iron-ore industry. Gina married twice, first to an Englishman Greg Milton whom she divorced later and then to Frank Rinehart who died in the year 1990.

Her Growth

Langley Hancock, Gina Rinehart’s father discovered the world’s largest iron ore deposits when she was just 38 years old. Then she inherited a debt-ridden iron ore company, ‘Hancock Prospecting’ from her father. After that, Gina Rinehart showed steady progress and started earning profit year after year through iron ore projects running in Western Australia and also through royalty payments received from mining companies with whom her father had negotiated. She also has few coal projects in Galilee Basin.

This 57 year old (as of 2011) woman has been amassing wealth for decades and has been subsequently appearing in almost all business magazines which mentioned her as one of the richest persons in Australia. Citigroup estimates that she would become the richest person in a few years from now as she is the sole owner of the huge property and does not have any share holders to pay for.

Into Business

After the death of her father Lang Hancock in 1992, she became the Executive Chairman of HPPL and the HPPL Group of companies. In due course, she started off with legal fight with her step mother over her father’s death and also over Hancock’s assets which took 14 long years to complete. Later, she gradually developed those Hancock’s undeveloped iron ore deposits into operable mines which in turn earned her huge profits. As on 2010, Gina Rinehart’s daughter, Bianca Rinehart was the Director of most of the Hancock companies and also the member of the executive management team.

Wealth Status

After the death of Rinehart’s father in 1992, her name appeared for the first time in the Business Review Weekly (BRW) in the Rich 200 list in the year 1992. And year after year, her name has been appearing in several magazines. In the year 2006, her name appeared in the billionaires list. Ultimately in the year 2010, news flashed in magazines declaring Gina as the richest woman in Australia and in the year 2011 she was declared as the richest person in Australia.

Her name first appeared among Australia’s 40 richest persons in Forbes magazine when her wealth estimate touched the mark of US$1 billion. Thereafter it doubled to US$2.4 billion in the following year and more than trebled to US$9 billion in the year 2011. Her growth did not stop here. Both Forbes and BRW declared her as the richest woman in the year 2011.

As per Citigroup’s prediction, Rinehart will soon overtake Carlos Slim whose wealth estimate is US$74 billion and also Bill Gates whose estimated wealth is US$56 billion. Reports say that owing to an increase in iron and ore production, Rinehart’s wealth is expected to touch a dazing US$100 billion.

Successor of the Dynasty

Recent reports reveal that Rinehart’s youngest daughter Ginia Rinehart has been appointed as the director of Hancock Prospecting. Now, it is the world’s richest and wealthiest dynasty that has mining projects spread over Queensland, Western Australia and also stake investments made in Fairfax Media and Ten Network Holdings. Of her four children, three of them except Ginia Rinehart have filed case against her in the NSW Supreme Court to remove her as the head of the family trust that took control of nearly 25 percent of the family’s wealth. Reports also say that Ginia Rinehart was appointed as the director of Hope Downs Marketing Company that has a tie up with another giant mining company, Rio Tinto.

Rinehart’s Fortune

As already mentioned Gina Rinehart will achieve the title of ‘World’s richest person’ in few years from now, beating the current richest persons. This is due to the fact that she does not have any shareholders and that she holds all rights of the company.

Amazing but Real

Although this woman has achieved this status during a short period of time, it is shocking to read about three of her four children having filed a case against her asking for her removal as the trustee of the multi billion company. In fact, this company was set up by Rinehart’s father Mr Hancock announcing his four grand children as its beneficiaries before he died.

Although several factors lie behind the success of a man, one of the common factors that we see in SUCCESSFUL persons is their DEVOTED HARD WORK. Hence, let us reshape our minds in order to apply this concept to fulfil our dreams. Good Luck, Rich Girls!

11 Most Successful Celebrity Girls of 2011

The year 2011 was full of wonderful moments. A lot of good and bad things have happened in the world during this year, but as always we are not going to concentrate on the bad things. I have decided to remember only the good things and make the list of those celebrity girls, for whom (to my mind) this year was the most successful and unforgettable. Let’s celebrate those inspiring rich girls, who set high standards, never stop surprising us and manage to achieve great results.

So, who were the most outstanding celebrity girls of 2011? It was really hard to choose only 11 celebrity girls, because there are so much more high achievers, but rules are rules. I have selected 11 girls based on one of the following criteria: outstanding achievements, buzz, life changing experience and inspiration.

Some of the girls in this list will match all the criteria, some may only match one, but nonetheless they all have earned the right to be on the list.

1 – Kate Middleton now Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

The Royal Wedding was definitely the most beautiful and romantic event of the year and Catherine was the ultimate star! I think that Kate Middleton is the most successful girls of 2011, because she managed to marry the prince! Sometimes all it takes is to marry the right guy, after that your life is a complete fairy tale.

2 – Adele

Adele experienced breathtaking rise to fame in 2011. Her single “Someone Like You” became a number one hit around the world and the album “21″ topped the charts in 18 countries including the United States. Adele’s “21″ was also last year’s biggest selling digital album.

There are a lot of things that I like about Adele: her voice, her songs and the fact that she doesn’t look like most of the stars. She is unique in every possible way and I hope she will continue make us happy or sad with her new songs. My personal favorite Adele’s song is “Rolling in the Deep” and I first heard and loved it in the “Gossip Girl” – Bar Mitzvah episode. This song suited perfectly Chuck and Blair’s romance!

3 – Victoria Beckham

It was a very successful year for Victoria Beckham both family and career wise. She welcomed her beautiful baby daughter Harper Seven into the family and won the “Designer Brand of the Year” at the “2011 British Fashion Awards”, beating Stella McCartney, Tom Ford and Burberry. I was writing about Victoria Beckham earlier this year, as she is a very inspiring rich girl.

4 – Rihanna

In 2011 Rihanna achieved a lot and this year was really amazing for her. She received Grammy Award (Dance Recording), Billboard Award (Female Artist of the Year), Brit (International Female Artist of the Year) Award, American Music Award (Favorite R&B Album), BET award (Best Female R&B Artist) in just one year! Her album “Loud” sold over 6,000,000 copies internationally, she sold more than 47 million digital tracks in 2011, which puts her ahead of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Britney Spears and Beyonce, her “Loud” tour was the 7th top grossing world tour in 2011 and the list of Rihanna’s achievements this year can go on and on. I just listed the most inspiring ones. And don’t forget that Rihanna is only 23 years old!

5 – Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian is famous for being famous and as far as I am concerned she is good at it. She spent over 10 million dollars on a wedding, ordered three amazing wedding dresses from Vera Wang only to file for divorce in just 72 days of marriage. Well, she made headlines this year and people were actually interested in all her wedding preparations, the dream wedding and the divorce drama. According to Google Zeitgeist 2011, Kim Kardashian wedding was most popular search in weddings category within the United States. Even the Royal wedding was left behind, on the 2nd place. I think that only Kim Kardashian could pull this off and although she is not a great role model she deserves a place in our top for constantly finding new ways to be in a spot light.

6 – Natalie Portman

I bet that 2011 will be the year which Natalie Portman will look back to and say: “This year was the most amazing of all!” I hope that she will have a lot more successful years in the future, but 2011 was really the year to remember. Natalie Portman won the Academy Award, the Golden Globe Award, the Screen Actors Guild Award, Independent Spirit Awards, and the BAFTA Award for her lead performance as Nina Sayers in “Black Swan”. But 2011 was also unforgettable, because Natalie gave birth to her first child, a son named Aleph Portman-Millepied.

7 – Charlene Wittstock, now Charlene, Princess of Monaco

A girl from South Africa marrying into one of Europe’s oldest royal families, isn’t it a true fairy tale? And even though the wedding was clouded by suggestions that Charlene almost became a runaway bride after she found out about Prince Albert’s private life, the event turned out to be grand and beautiful. Maybe not as hugely discussed and viewed as the Royal Wedding of Catherine and William, but still breathtaking. And I actually loved Charlene’s wedding dress better.

8 – Pippa Middleton

One girl which woke up famous this year was Pippa Middleton. After she rocked that white dress by Sarah Burton at her sister’s Royal Wedding, she skyrocketed to fame. Guys love her, girls want to copy her body parts and the way she dresses and Pippa is just enjoying her invitations to all the glamorous parties and probably is writing a book. Yes, Pippa Middleton is said to be close to signing a book deal on how to be the perfect party hostess. Well, it is definitely good to have a famous sister.

9 – Beyoncé

She is a great singer and beautiful woman, she is inspiration for all of us. This year all the fans were happy to hear the good news, that the power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z is expecting their first child. Her pregnancy announcement had broken the “most tweets per second recorded for a single event” Twitter record, receiving 8,868 tweets per second.

But somehow these amazing news were spoiled by the allegations that Beyonce is not actually pregnant and is wearing a special pillow to look pregnant, that a surrogate is doing the actual job. I still don’t know whether it is true or not. I hope she is pregnant for real, because I can see no reason why would she fake her pregnancy or turn to surrogate at this young age. Anyway, Beyonce is a star and she can do whatever she wants. I like what she said in one of her videos: “I don’t have to prove anything to anyone, I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world.”

10 – Jennifer Aniston

Everyone wants to believe in true relationships and happy mutual love. This year we had a chance to feel happy for Jennifer as it seems that she has finally found her Mr. Right! Jennifer Aniston radiated happiness all year, thank you Justin Theroux Her new haircut this year also made people talk. According to Google Zeitgeist 2011 Jennifer Aniston haircut was number 2 most popular search in haircuts category, just a little bit behind Justin Bieber’s haircut and way ahead of Emma Watson, Selena Gomez and Diana Agron haircuts.

Also, I really loved her this year in “Horrible Bosses”.

11 – Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer Hudson lost 80 lbs and turned into a completely different person. This year she was shining on different events, in amazing tight outfits and said that she now looks and feels 10 years younger. I have added Jennifer to the list of 11 most successful and inspiring rich girls of 2011 because she is not only talented singer and Academy Award winner and a mother of a gorgeous kid, but she also managed to turn her life around and become more healthy and confident. If she could do it, we all can do it! Let’s be healthier and happier in 2012!

So, here is the list of 11 rich girls who, to my mind, were having a blast in 2011. Of course some of you may disagree with this list and I would really want to hear that Please share your opinion in the comments below.

The reason I wanted to create this list in the first place, is to inspire you to make the year 2012 to remember! Set yourself high standards, targets and goals this year! You can do anything! Dream big and act on it!

Let the 2012 be the most successful of all years! And who knows, maybe at the beginning of 2013 there will be your name on my list!

Yours,

Rich Girl

Interview With Make-Up Artist – Elina Daiquiri

Wise people say, that as soon as you’ll find out what is it that are you really passionate about and have the guts to turn it into your career, then you will become happy, rich and successful. You are going to do it with all your heart and love and that is all that matters. Elina Daiquiri is the perfect example, she turned her make-up and body art from just being a hobby into her career and never looked back. Here is the interview with this interesting and creative girl.

Rich Girl: Hello, Elina! Thank you for finding time to answer to my questions!
Elina Daiquiri: Hi Rich Girl, my pleasure. Thank YOU for being interested

R.G.: I see you have an interesting name Elina Daiquiri! Is it real?
E.D.: Elina Daiquiri is my artistic name. I really love everything about strawberries and some time ago I got the nickname Miss Daiquiri because of the Strawberry Daiquiri cocktail. I really liked it and changed my name on Facebook. After a while I realized that everyone, including myself are so used to it, that I’ve decided to keep it as my artistic name. And also it suits well to my red hair color

Elina Daiquiri

R.G.: Elina, I was really amazed by your work! You are very creative and talented person! When did you realize that make-up and body art is something you want to do?
E.D.: Thank you! I really do like what I am doing. Over 9 years ago I enrolled in the image makers school, but after I finished it, I never had enough time to do it properly. I worked in different places and make-up was always only a hobby. But luckily when I moved to Marbella one of the local model agencies required my help in couple of their projects and that’s when I realized that make-up and body art is my true passion and that I should turn it into something more than just a hobby.

R.G.: I love when my make-up is done by a professional. I think that everyone should have their personal make-up artist on a speed dial When do you think girls should trust their face to a professional and not try to apply their make-up themselves?
E.D.: I completely agree with you about the professional make-up. It`s really nice and comfortable to have your make-up done by a professional. First of all, you don`t have to worry about doing it yourself – just relax and trust. Second, it`s always interesting how the artist sees and imagines you and how she/he highlights the beauty of your face. I think that`s why it is so special and exciting to let the professional do his job. Also, each of us is very different and sometimes it is hard to know what really fits you and what doesn’t – that`s why it is always helpful to work with a professional and get her/his advice.

R.G.: Do you think girls should have professional make-up when they go to Champagne spray parties here in Marbella or when they enjoy a ride on a yacht?
E.D.:Talking about Champagne Spray Parties – yes, they are crazily fun! And all the girls who attends them want to look perfect and sexy. All the beach club parties are exactly the right place to be original and stand out: to dress sexy, be in a good mood, to have a special make-up and maybe even some nice body painting. It’s all about having fun and be young and beautiful.
Yacht to my mind, is gonna be more for sunbathing and chill out, so it is not very necessary to wear a special make-up. Water resistant mascara and some shiny lip gloss will make you look very natural and sexy.

R.G.: Body art is something which I only see during different shows on models. Do regular people order a body art? Where they usually go with it?
E.D.: True, a body art is an art on all the body and mostly it is made by a special order for a specific event. It wouldn’t be very comfortable to go clubbing with it, as it might come off. That’s why regular people usually don`t ask me for a body art, but I would be happy to paint trikini for free to the first interested brave girl

R.G.: During summer here in Marbella there are a lot of so called Hen Parties, when girlfriends of a bride-to-be dress up in different costumes and go crazy in clubs around Puerto Banus. Every such girl-group wants to stand out from the rest. Can you share some ideas on how with the help of professionally applied make-up or even body art these girls can be different from the rest of the “hens”?
E.D.: Hen Party is a very special event for every girl who get`s married and her friends, because it is such a great opportunity to come together and have fun! Although, there are a lot of “hens” in Puerto Banus, but I haven`t seen original ones. My quick idea at the moment would be the following: girls wear, for example, a make-up that looks like a flower – nicely done eyes and painted flower on the cheek or neck or decollete with a real flower leaves glued with a special body glue to the skin. Dress – of course colorful and romantic. Also very modern and sexy looking are glued crystals – grabs everyone’s attention believe me – I’ve tested it on myself. Body art for a hen party would be an original gift to the main Hen for a photo shoot, for example.

R.G.: Tell us about the projects you are most proud of. Why?
E.D.: I am very proud of my last two projects here in Marbella. The first one is the make-up I did for a music video for the singer from Ireland – Carol Anthony. The video shooting for the song “Dance Like That” by Havana was a great chance for me to realize my real passion for make-up and body painting. Those two days in March 2011 were the most interesting days in my artistic career. I am really looking forward to do it again. I have to say that the video turned out to be very good and in just one month it reached over 85 000 views on YouTube.
The second project I am proud of is the body art I did for the Magazine FOC. It was a spider theme, so I made a spider web and half of the body painted as spider web too. It takes a lot of time, that`s why we did just half a body.
Both of those projects were physically hard and exhausting, but I worked with such passion and really enjoyed it.

R.G.: If you had an opportunity to work with any celebrity in the world, who would it be? Why?
E.D.: It is a very hard question, because I like many actors and singers. I am always interested in what kind of make-up performers wear on stage. And it would be a pleasure to do make-up for any of them. But I would do anything for a possibility to work with Catherine Zeta-Jones, because of her mysterious personality and something special in her eyes AND with Lady GaGa – she gets all my respect because of her stage image and a hard working character.

R.G.: What are your creative plans for the nearest future?
E.D.: My creative plans? Would you like to be my model for a body art with crystals? )

R.G.: Oh, my! Well, we can definitely talk about it. Should I be naked for this?! just kidding How would you define success and can you call yourself a success? If not, what do you need to achieve to feel that way?
E.D.: I think that success is when you are doing what you are passionate about! But I also know that in order to be successful in make-up and body art you should practice and study endlessly and follow all the latest news and trends in fashion, art and techniques. I am always studying and trying out new things and approaches, to make my clients happy and beautiful. For me success is a never ending process.

R.G.: What would be your advice for girls who want to follow their dreams and start their own business?
E.D.: Everything is possible! If you want it, if you love it, don`t wait for a right moment – GO AND GET IT! Find the instruments and use them. The beginning always is a little bit difficult, but don`t stop – just believe in yourself! And remember – the passion!

R.G.: How long have you been living in Marbella? What do you like the most about Marbella?
E.D.: Beginning of the August this year was my 2 years anniversary since I moved to Marbella. Not long, but enough to understand what is what. Mainly I like the nature here – same day you can climb the mountain and go to look for dolphins in the sea. Where else in Europe can you do that? Marbella is a place where it is possible to meet so many different international people from all over the world. Who is real and who is not – that is another question.

R.G.: Do you love shopping? What are your favorite brands?
E.D.: Haha Show me the girl who doesn’t love shopping! It is the best part of the day! Always works against the bad mood! ALWAYS!
I do love Custo Barcelona clothes. The colorful wearing really fits me and expresses my true self. Also Guess – is my old true love Mostly i like shopping on e-bay, so American brand Baby Phat and Victoria’s Secret are ones of my favorites.

R.G.: And the last question: give us your definition of Rich Girl.
E.D.: RICH GIRL- means a positive, lively, happy girl who knows her value in this life. She is always informed about news in fashion. She has loyalty cards in her favorite shops and gym AND she has her best friends who are always ready to join her for a nice dinner at a restaurant. Besides she has a job she likes, she always looks good and she is well educated to talk about different subjects. This is a Rich Girl – smart, positive, successful woman

R.G.: Thank you so much for such an interesting interview! Elina, how the girls will be able to contact you, if they are interested in make-up or body art?
E.D.: Thank you, Rich Girl! It was a pleasure. Girls can always contact me by phone, my number in Spain is +34 622556004 or by e-mail: stylestarsstudio@gmail.com. We can meet at my place, at a beauty salon or I can travel to almost anywhere along the coast.

So, rich girls, what do you think about the interview? If you have some more questions to ask Elina, feel free to post them in the comments below and she will be happy to answer them too.

Yours,

Rich Girl

11 Most Subscribed Youtube Girls Channels

I think everyone knows what is Youtube. We all watched and shared funny or cute videos with our friends, some even have their own channels, but there are people whose life was changed completely by Youtube. People, who managed to turn their hobby and passion for creating videos into successful online business, whose Youtube nicknames became their brand names, who travel the world, who made their dreams come true and became rich and famous.

When I read or hear about Youtube stars, I always feel deep respect for them. Not only they are not afraid to broadcast themselves, not only these people are very creative, brave and can find and share unique ideas with the rest of the world, but these people created their own life, own destiny. They didn’t wait to be discovered, or for someone to come and help them become an actor or singer or makeup artist, they just started creating videos, alone in their rooms with their camera (not always the best one) and laptop, sharing their talent and ideas with the world.

These people dared to be different. But they also worked hard! Have you ever tried to record 400 videos?!

Although the majority of Youtube Huge Stars are men/guys, there are also girls in all time top 100 most subscribed list by Youtube. There are more than 11 Youtube girls in the list, but I decided to limit my list with 11. I simply like this number Also, I didn’t take into account channels by major music stars like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez etc, because they were not discovered with the help of Youtube and their channels were made by PR companies and not by the girls themselves.

So, here is the list of most successful and most subscribed Youtube channels created and owned by the girls. Read about these extraordinary, rich and yet simple girls and maybe it will inspire you to start something of your own!

1 – Michelle Phan aka MichellePhan

Michelle joined Youtube on July 18, 2006 and up to date her Youtube Channel has 1,500,797 subscribers!! Michelle was the first to upload makeup tutorials and it proved to be a very successful idea.

While writing this article I gathered a lot of useful information from Wikipedia as well as personal pages of the girls.

Guest Post: The Girls Are Catching Up to the Boys in Poker

Today is dedicated to guest posts. I am glad, that girls are sending in their entries, it means that we are a real Rich Girls Club where everyone has a possibility to speak. I would like to introduce you to Torey Hendrix. Torey wrote an interesting article about girls in poker. I wanted to cover this topic a long time ago, but didn’t know where to start. And now Torey writes about the successful and lucky rich girls who have over $3 million in lifetime winnings from live poker tournaments. Maybe it is time to move those relaxed poker games at home to the next level, girls? Yours, Rich Girl

Poker may still be a “boys” game on the surface, as the vast majority of players are still male, but women have been closing the gap in recent years, as especially as the popularity of online blackjack and poker sites have grown. Plenty of women have had success at the poker tables for years (both in casual home games as well as at the highest stakes games) but it’s only in recent years that more and more women turn to poker as a full-time profession. The girls are now striking it rich in poker right alongside the boys, and in many cases are a much hotter commodity when it comes to sponsorship deals and endorsements.

“The heiress herself is a poker aficionado and yes, she wins!”

Top female pros such as Vanessa Rousso, Vanessa Selbst, Kathy Liebert, and Annette Obrestad each have over $3 million in lifetime winnings from live poker tournaments alone — a figure that doesn’t include playing in live cash games or their results from online play. Jennifer Harman Traniello just barely misses out on the $3 million club (although she does have over $2.5 million in lifetime tournament earnings) but she’s better known as one of the few women who’ve regularly battled with the best cash game players — think Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, and Daniel Negreanu — in Las Vegas’ biggest cash games.

As far as star factor, actress Jennifer Tilly is a regular feature at the tables, playing alongside boyfriend Phil Laak at many of the world’s biggest poker tournaments. She’s definitely picked up a thing or two herself, as she’s got a World Series of Poker win to her credit in a Ladies event as well as a win in a Bellagio tournament. Former model and TV star Liv Boeree has also proven handy at the poker table, winning an European Poker Tour event and eclipsing the $2 million mark in lifetime earnings.

More and more women are turning to online play as well to sharpen their games, which provides a comfortable and easy way to learn the game. Online sites now offer hundreds of games such as poker, blackjack, craps, and slots games online, enabling new players to learn and enjoy a variety of games without the intimidation factor of taking a seat live in a casino for the first time. And playing online can be just as lucrative for poker players, as many online pros easily make $100,000-$200,000/year, and all without ever having to leave the comfort of their favorite chair or couch.

Success Stories Needed! Wanted!

When I started Success Stories on Rich Girl’s Club I was thinking about collecting information about successful and famous people, what they were doing on their way to stardom, what made them famous and rich and what can we learn from their experience.
But after a while I realized that you can find the stories about famous people everywhere, just Google the name of the person you want to find out information about and you will get the full picture starting from the days when he/she was a little baby.
I am receiving a lot of emails from people, who may not be famous world wide, but they are very successful and their stories are interesting and educational. So, I decided to dedicate “Success Stories” section on Rich Girl’s Club for these people.
You have a chance to be featured on Rich Girl’s Club as well, if you have your own Success Story you want to share with us! Just fill out this form, write a short story about your success and don’t forget to mention your valid email address. If I find your story interesting and educational for other Club Members I will contact you and your story will be posted on the site.
And remember, not every success is measured with money. Success as defined in Wikipedia:

Success may mean, but is not limited to:
* a level of social status
* achievement of an objective/goal
* the opposite of failure
* the succession of successfully executed tasks and successes

Looking forward for the stories of your success!

Yours,

Rich Girl

Rich Roll – success story!

I was browsing the trending topics on google today and stumbled upon interesting word combination – Rich Roll. As I am interested in word Rich I was very curious to know what is placed #7 as today’s trend topic.

I started to read the articles and found out a very interesting story about a man who completely changed his life after 40 and turned it into success. I don’t know how rich Richard Roll is, but the story of his life is really inspiring and I think that you would agree that this is a real success story. I think that we all should learn some things from Richard Roll.

Richard Roll has his own site, so if you are interested you can find out more about him at http://www.richroll.com/
Below I just cite some things I liked the most about this man from his site and Men’s Fitness Magazine:

A husband, a father of 4, an entertainment attorney, filmmaker, writer as well as a passionate endurance athlete who recently placed 11^that the 2008 Ultraman World Championships. (He finished 11th overall in the Ultraman but first among non-pros. / Men’sFitness)

By age 40, Richard was 35 pounds overweight and completely out of shape. It was time for a major life change. To celebrate his 40^th natal birthday as well as his 10th anniversary in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, in 2006 he overhauled his diet, became a dedicated vegan, put on his running shoes and jumped back into the pool. It wasn’t long before ambition took hold and his quest to participate in Ultraman slowly began. Two years later and 35 pounds lighter, he surprised the triathlon & ultra communities by not only becoming the first vegan to complete the event, but by finishing in the top 10 males, despite never having even previously competed in a single ironman distance event. / http://richroll.com

The first lesson we could learn from Richard Roll is that it is never too late to start your new, happier, richer, healthier life. All you need to do is to wish for a new life and do something! Act! Don’t be afraid, don’t think about “what if”, just start approaching the life you were always dreaming about even if you just make a tiny little footsteps toward it. Just start.  Your life is in your hands, even if you are over 40 it only just begins!

Secondly, don’t underestimate yourself. You don’t even know what you are capable of doing until you set high goals/targets and reach them.

Third lesson, don’t be afraid to invest in yourself, it will definitely pay off.

Oh, and one more cool thing about Rich Roll - he is one of Men’s Fitness Magazines 25 Fittest Guys in the World — the fittest “Real Guy” for 2009. Amazing, isn’t it?!

This story made me think about what people could achieve if they just knew what they want!

Yours,
Rich Girl

Quotes for Success

Not only reading a story about someones success motivates you to do something great in your life, but also quotes of successful and smart people will help you keep focused on your goal.

I have collected the most (to my mind) motivating quotes on success, which I hope you will find helpful. If you have any good quotes which you think could be interesting to our readers, please leave them in the comments below.

Ok, so here are some quotes on success:

• Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.–William James
• Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.–Will Rogers
• In any situation, the best thing you can do is the right thing; the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing; the worst thing you can do is nothing.–Theodore Roosevelt
• Keep on going and the chances are you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I have never heard of anyone stumbling on something sitting down.–Charles F. Kettering, Engineer and Inventor
• There are only two rules for being successful. One, figure out exactly what you want to do, and two, do it.–Mario Cuomo
• The road to success runs uphill.–Willie Davis
• Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want.–Dan Stanford
• A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.–Nolan Bushnell, Founder of Atari Computer
• Fear is the result of a lack of confidence. A lack of confidence is the result of not knowing what you can do. A lack of knowing what you can do is caused by a lack of experience. A lack of experience is caused by a lack of doing something new.–Dale Carnegie
• Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.–Sir Winston Churchill
• The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.–Michael Althsuler
• The only certain means of success is to render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be.–Og Mandino

And my favorite is by Mark Twain:

• Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

I wish you live your life to the fullest and become very successful, rich and happy one day!

Keep on going!

Yours,

Rich Girl
