An American fashion designer named Jay McCarroll has a net worth of $500,000.
The birth of Jay McCarroll took place in October 1974.
By winning the first season of Project Runway, a reality TV program, in 2005, he was able to win the game.
After completing his studies at the London College of Fashion, Jay sold his clothes in Camden Market and Amsterdam.
He was granted $100,000, a Banana Republic mentorship, and a chance to attend the 2005 New York Fashion Week event as a prize for winning.
Due to Project Runway’s ownership of 10% of his professional ventures, he declined both the money and mentorship. McCarroll then established his blog and boutique called The Colony in 2008.
He is a professor at Philadelphia University and runs a fashion line for QBC.
He lost 40 pounds and was crowned the winner of the VH1 TV reality show Celebrity Fit Club in 2010.
McCarroll is against the use of fur and had his collection sponsored by the Humane Society of the United States.
Jay was reportedly homeless and living with his friends in 2007.
The reports were deemed to be sarcastic.
