Vanessa L. Williams | New York

Vanessa L. Williams is an American singer, actress, and fashion designer. She initially gained recognition as the first woman of African-American descent to receive the Miss America title when she has crowned Miss America 1984 in 1983. She has a net worth of $25 million. Vanessa Williams has been nominated for many awards, including several Emmys, Grammys, and Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Filming her ABC hit Ugly Betty and recording her new album The Real Thing meant spending most of her time far from home. Thankfully, Betty‘s recent relocation to New York City has finally allowed Williams to return to the house where she’s raised her kids. She has great memories in all of the rooms in New York City. The house’s seaside feel was inspired by Williams’s favorite hotel, Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica. She now has the same leather chairs and walnut floors as the hotel do.
