From the catwalk to the Oscars alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, passing through Sanremo: here is Vittoria Ceretti’s biography, career, and net worth.
Who is Vittoria Ceretti and how much does she earn? Today, the supermodel is one of the most recognizable and influential celebrities globally, a regular on the most prestigious runways and the face of high-profile international campaigns. In recent years, her name has become familiar to the general public not only for her fashion career but also for her relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio, which quickly became one of Hollywood’s most talked-about couples.
Yet, in Italy, many first met her in 2021, when she graced the stage at the Sanremo Music Festival alongside Amadeus, displaying natural elegance and an extraordinary stage presence. In reality, there’s much more behind that appearance: between runway shows, covers, and million-dollar contracts, Ceretti has carved out a dream career, becoming a benchmark in the fashion system. Here’s what we know today about her career, earnings, and cachet.
Who is Vittoria Ceretti? Biography and Career
Vittoria Ceretti was born in Brescia on June 7, 1998, and grew up in a simple family, away from the spotlight. From a very young age, she showed a certain intolerance for traditional schooling: in several interviews, she has said she struggled with school, viewing it more as an obligation than a true calling. It was precisely this sense of uneasiness that pushed her, at just 14 years old, to pursue a modeling career, initially almost for fun.
The turning point came with her participation in the Elite Model Look competition: despite not winning, she immediately attracted the attention of industry insiders and was hired by a major agency. From there, her career rose rapidly. At 16, she became a spokesmodel for Dolce & Gabbana and shortly thereafter graced the cover of Vogue Italy, starting to build a stellar portfolio.
In the years that followed, her career truly exploded. She walked for some of the world’s biggest fashion houses, including Dior, Valentino, Chanel, Prada, Versace, and many others, appearing in over 100 shows in a single season: an achievement that cemented her as one of the most sought-after models globally. Her editorial presence is equally strong: she has appeared in dozens of international editions of Vogue, and was even named one of the Seven Wonders of the World of fashion by Vogue USA in 2018.
In her private life, after a relationship with Tony Effe, she married DJ Matteo Milleri in Ibiza in 2020. The marriage, however, did not last, and the two separated in the following years. Since 2023, Ceretti has been linked to Leonardo DiCaprio: a relationship widely covered by the media, fueled by public appearances, travel, and appearances at high-profile events, such as the recent Oscars.
Despite her growing fame, Vittoria maintains a relatively private profile and has spoken out repeatedly on the issues of mental health and the pressures of the fashion industry, demonstrating a rare awareness in her field.
How much does Vittoria Ceretti earn? Salary and Fees
When discussing how much does Vittoria Ceretti earn, it’s important to start with one fact: the model has never publicly disclosed her official salary figures. However, by looking at her career and the brands she collaborates with, it’s possible to make reliable estimates. The basic benchmark remains the average model salary, which according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics is around $48,000 per year. But this figure is hardly representative for a top model of her caliber. Wages in the fashion industry are strongly linked to the model’s popularity, international visibility, and ability to attract advertising campaigns.
For comparison, names like Gisele Bündchen have achieved annual earnings exceeding $30.5 million, according to Forbes. While not yet at those levels, Vittoria Ceretti now ranks at the top end of the market.
According to updated estimates, her personal net worth is around $4 million, built primarily through campaigns for luxury brands, fashion shows, and editorial collaborations. Added to this are the revenues derived from social media: on Instagram she has over 2 million followers and can generate significant income through sponsorships and collaborations.
The most recent estimates indicate monthly earnings from social media ranging between approximately $18,000 and $25,000, with annual revenues that can exceed $300,000 from these activities alone. Added to this are fees for advertising campaigns, which in the luxury sector can reach much higher figures for a single project.
Participation in television events like Sanremo also suggests the presence of significant fees, although not officially confirmed.
The joint wealth of Vittoria Ceretti and Leonardo DiCaprio
Her relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio has inevitably also put the spotlight on the financial front, transforming the couple into a true global power couple.
While Vittoria Ceretti’s net worth is estimated at around $4 million, the American actor’s is on a completely different scale. According to various US estimates, DiCaprio has a net worth of approximately $300 million, built over a thirty-year career spanning film, production, and investments.
A significant portion of his wealth also comes from advertising campaigns and real estate, valued at around $100 million. The result is a joint net worth that clearly exceeds $300 million, making the couple one of the richest and most financially stable in show business.
