Kimora Lee Perkins aka Kimora biography

Real biography: Introduction

By the time she was ten years old Kimora was a 5’8” Halfrikorenese target for schoolyard taunts. This led her mother to enroll her in modeling school as away to build confidence. Two years later, at the age of thirteen, Simmons was awarded an exclusive modeling contract with Chanel and just after her fourteenth birthday, she left for Paris to work under the tutelage of famed Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld. By the time she was 14, she was 6 feet tall.

Life Story

Kimora is a Model and designer. But she’s probably best known for being married to Russell Simmons, and basically using him like a human rung on the ladder to the top.

On July 29, 2004, Simmons was arrested outside her estate in Saddle River, N.J. and charged with possession of marijuana under 50 grams, eluding police, careless and imprudent driving, and driving with a broken brake light. The arrest was made after a two-mile chase that began near the Saddle River Police Station

Russell filed for divorce in March 2006, saying the couple had split some time before. The former couple's 49,000 square-foot Saddle River, New Jersey mansion is for sale at $23,888,000. Located 25 miles northwest of Manhattan, the 1996 built palace is one of the largest homes on the East Coast.
