The Transformation Of Tyra Banks From Childhood To 48

Always wanting to learn and improve, Tyra Banks headed back to school in 2012. Well, sort of. Banks completed the nine-week Owner/President Management program at Harvard Business School, per The Washington Post. Banks came under fire for calling herself a Harvard graduate, but nonetheless, she left the campus with a diploma, just not a degree.

Still, Tyra Banks's success in business and personal branding is apparent, and in 2016 she was asked by Stanford to teach an M.B.A. course. "I love teaching; I think it's something that I really want to focus on when I do a bit of retiring from that entertainment, at least, on camera .... It's one of the most gratifying and actually fun things that I do," she told the Los Angeles Times.

If that wasn't enough to keep her busy, Banks also launched her own beauty line, Tyra Beauty, and in 2016 she added skincare products to her product line. Banks dedicated herself to selling good products, particularly her skincare. "For years, me and my crew have worked with scientists and developers, testing, tweaking, and fine-tuning these products to bring you a new kind of skincare," her website read, via Marie Claire. In 2017, Tyra Beauty became available exclusively through digital sales, per Direct Selling News, whereas it had previously been sold through direct sales, like Mary Kay or Avon. These days, though, it's rather hard to find.
