Amanda's great-grandfather is frequently cited as the creator of modern tabloid journalism, but Amanda tends to stay out of the spotlight herself. About a decade ago, however, Harper's Bazaar published an article claiming the heiress spends $136,000 on herself annually, a figure she vehemently denied.

Beyond the wealth, Amanda has modeled, is a spokesperson for ethical fashion brand Maison de Mode, and is the founder of Friends of Finn, an organization dedicated to the closing of puppy mills. Currently, Amanda is the special projects manager at Town & Country Magazine.
