What celebrity is your role model, and why?

Since Susan took my original role model… Rachel Zoe, I guess I’ll have to settle for my second choice.

A role model to me… is someone who makes all the right decisions, makes the best out of situations, makes others around them happy and in doing so, made themself successful.

Now, I do not have one particular celebrity in which I look up or try to emulate myself. However, there definitely are some that I respect and would consider a role model type. Will Smith would absolutely be in my top 3. I respect anyone who is self-made and Will Smith is the definition of that. Having come from middle-class Philadelphia, he used his intelligence and skill to propel himself to Hollywood. He is the only actor to have eight consecutive films gross over $100 million in the box office. He was also featured in Fortune Magazine's "Richest 40" list of the forty wealthiest Americans under the age of 40. Smith also donates millions of dollars to charities, which is ridiculous to be able to give away that kind of money. Anyone who was not given an opportunity, but made one for themselves and succeeded is a role model to me and what I aspire to be.
