Early life
Ananda Marchildon was born on April 29, 1986 in Canada. She grew up in a small town and has been passionate about fashion since she was a child.
She often designs her own clothes and experiments with different styles, dreaming of one day becoming a model.
After graduating from high school, Marchildon pursued her dream of becoming a model. She signed up with a modeling agency and began taking modeling classes to hone her skills.
Despite initial rejection, Marchildon continued to work hard and eventually got her big break in the modeling industry.
Personal life
Marchildon is a private person and does not share much about her life with the media. However, it is known that she is married and has a son.
She also advocates body positivity and speaks out against unrealistic beauty standards in the modeling industry.
Career
Marchildon’s big break came in 2008 when she participated in and won the second season of “Holland’s Next Top Model”.
This reality competition is based on the popular American TV show “America’s Next Top Model” and aims to find the next famous Dutch model.
Marchildon impressed the judges with her unique look and striking features and won the competition. She was awarded a modelling contract and a cash prize of €75,000.
However, things got worse when Marchildon discovered that her contract had a clause stating that she needed to have her teeth fixed, which was not part of the original agreement. Marchildon refused to have her teeth fixed, and as a result, the company terminated her contract.
Legal battle
The termination of her contract prompted Marchildon to file a lawsuit against the modelling agency, claiming that the terms of her contract were unfair and that she was entitled to a bonus.
The case went to court and in 2012 the judge ruled in Marchildon’s favour, declaring that the company had acted unfairly and that Marchildon was entitled to the bonus.
The ruling has sent shockwaves through the Netherlands and sparked discussion about the treatment of models in the industry.
Net worth
Ananda Marchildon’s net worth is around $500,000.
