Marie Helvin, the former supermodel who was once known as “the most gorgeous woman on the planet”, will soon turn 70.
However, retirement is not an option for her due to financial difficulties.
Despite having a successful career in the fashion industry and being the ex-lover of the Duchess of Cornwall’s brother, Marie has recently expressed that she may have to start working as a cashier to make ends meet.
Marie spoke about her financial struggles on the Third Act podcast, revealing that her money problems began during the pandemic.
The pandemic had a significant impact on the fashion industry, and many models lost work as a result.
For Marie, it meant that she was unable to secure enough modeling jobs to support herself financially.
The model expressed that she had to come to terms with the fact that modeling work may have come to an end.
However, she is determined to earn a living on her own and does not plan to ask for help from her ex-husband.
Marie shared that she may start working at a supermarket if necessary, and she does not understand why people are horrified by this prospect.
It is interesting to note that Marie’s ex-husband is the famous fashion photographer David Bailey.
Despite her financial struggles, Marie is not worried about her precarious financial situation.
She remains optimistic about the future and is determined to make the most of her situation.
In the podcast, Marie mentioned that Mick Jagger’s ex-wife, model Jerry Hall, once advised her to ask her lovers for jewelry.
