MBA News: Tyra Banks to Attend HBS?

Yes, you read that correctly. Supermodel and host of the television show “America’s Next Top Model,” Tyra Banks has enrolled in Harvard Business School (HBS). We know what you are thinking: everyone believes that HBS is on a youth movement, but apparently if you are 37 and a model, you can get in pretty easily. Well, not exactly. Ms. Banks recently began one of the school’s Executive Education programs—the owner/president/management program—which is only two weeks long. So Ms. Banks will not be earning an MBA, but she will be out $31,000 in tuition. Still, good for Ms. Banks, who is undermining the famous line once spoken by supermodel Linda Evangelista: “I don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day.” Ms. Banks is waking up and paying about $3,100 a day.
