What Is Tommy Hilfiger's Net Worth?

Tommy Hilfiger, the American fashion designer, possesses a substantial net worth of $450 million. His journey into the fashion world commenced at the age of 18 when he began customizing jeans for resale in his town. This entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish his own store, The People's Place. Although he is not a billionaire, it's worth noting that Tommy Hilfiger sold the majority of his company in 1989 to investors Silas Chou and Lawrence Stroll, both of whom are now worth around $2.7 billion each. Hilfiger's fashion prowess earned him the title of 'Menswear Designer of the Year' by the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 1995.
