Kate Upton might be super rich now as a result of her thriving career, but she was already super rich long before she decided to strip down and entice men the world over with her gorgeous curves. That's to say, Miss Upton is the heiress to quite a large fortune: her great-grandfather, Frederick Upton, was the co-founder of Upton Machine, which later changed its name to - yes - Whirlpool. That's right: the Whirlpool Corporation (who make household appliances - washing machines, refrigerators, dishwashers, you name it - across the globe) is Kate Upton's inheritance, now worth $20 billion. So, yes, this particular blonde bombshell will probably never have to concern herself with trivial things like "money" again, no matter what happens in her career. Lucky for some, huh?
