Great honor for Victoria Swarovski: The presenter has made it onto the cover of "Forbes" magazine!

Victoria Swarovski is "more than just a glittering name", writes the magazine, whose special edition "Austrian Tradition" features the 31-year-old and for which she posed in a black tuxedo with a diamond-studded bow tie.

Swarovski does not rely on surnames
An honor that Swarovski does not receive in vain. Because she is "an entertainer, entrepreneur and designer - and careful not to rely on her famous name alone", writes "Forbes" on Instagram about its cover star. 

The secret of her success? "When I do something, I have to like it myself," Swarovski revealed in an interview. And talks about her job as a "Let's Dance" presenter, for example, or her vegan cosmetics line Orimei.

The latter is a project close to her heart, as she admitted: "I've always said I want to do something of my own. And what suits me best? Make-up, of course!"

Lots of new plans
The path to becoming an entrepreneur was not always easy. "I've had more ups and downs than ever before," says Swarovski, who has been in the spotlight since she was 16 years old. 

And there is still a long way to go: further projects are also planned - such as a decorative cosmetics line and a medical care range, as well as a new homeware brand. She is also involved as an authorized signatory of House of Arts GmbH, which supports up-and-coming artists - a connection to her partner Mark Mateschitz.

Despite her numerous professional plans, Swarovski will remain close to her TV fans. Time management is everything with so many time-consuming jobs, as she revealed: "Presenting is my base, and I build everything else on that."
