The math ain\u2019t that hard. Being seen on national TV and getting to step out on red carpets in fabulous dresses is not something most teenage girls get to do. That\u2019s privilege again. Not to mention the fact growing up with all that money meant she was able to do things like equestrian sports. She may not have taken the ol\u2019 \u201cmillion dollar loan\u201d from her parents, but the position they put her in definitely set her up for success in a way most aspiring models can only dream of.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously we weren\u2019t the only ones who blanched at the idea gurl was self made. Here are a few of the responses on Mohamed\u2019s post:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSelf made?? Born privileged more like it\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201ci don\u2019t think he understands the meaning of self made lol\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSelf made? Her mom\u2019s a model which is the only reason she got signed as well as Bella. You\u2019re a rich developer who built mansions all over BH and Bel Air\u2026 she was born into money sis\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cyeah Yolanda def helped Gigi and Bella get into the industry\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cit defeats the purpose of being \u201cself-made\u201d if you truly didn\u2019t have to work for it if it was bought for you since a young age. Of course, they have to be able to work the job if they want to continue being paid, but they will never know what\u2019s it\u2019s like being a model coming from the absolute bottom.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Again, we just want to make it clear\u2026 we absolutely think Gigi Hadid is a phenomenal model. We believe she has what it takes to make it without any help, without being born on third base\u2026 but we\u2019ll never know for sure. Because she\u00a0<em>did<\/em> have help. She had loving parents who were wildly wealthy \u2014 and connected in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>So all those other things, beauty, poise, grace, you bet she has them. But \u201cself made\u201d she is not.<\/p>\n<p>What do YOU think, Perezcious readers??<\/p>\n<p><em>[Image via Jeff Grossman\/FayesVision\/WENN.]<\/em>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
