Georgina Rodriguez has transformed from a struggling retail worker into one of the world's most recognised influencers, with an estimated net worth of $10 million built through her own entrepreneurial success.
Born in Buenos Aires in 1994 to an Argentine father and Spanish mother, Rodriguez's early life was marked by hardship. Her father Jorge spent ten years in prison for drug trafficking, forcing the family to move to Spain when she was just one year old.
After studying ballet as a child, which she had to quit due to financial constraints, Rodriguez moved to Madrid at 18. She worked multiple jobs to survive, including retail during the day and bar work at weekends, before landing a sales position at Gucci.

Her Netflix documentary series "I Am Georgina" gave fans unprecedented access to her life, whilst she's also launched her own athleisure line and supports various children's charities.
The couple share four children together, though tragically lost a baby boy during childbirth in 2022. Rodriguez also helps raise Ronaldo's three other children from previous relationships.
