Move over Kim Kardashian.
Take a seat, Paris Hilton. At 18-years-old, Kevin Michael Barba may have his
sights set on a life in the spotlight, but he has no interest in joining the
long list of spoiled socialites who came before him. With the launch of his
lifestyle line The Kevin Michael Barba Collection, which made its television
debut on MTV International, Barba is hoping to show the world that “wealth is a
state of mind.”
“People like to hate you before they love you. I took that
approach as a joke — I had no idea where to look. But you know what? It
worked.” In addition to building his lifestyle brand, available now, Barba is
also active in the non-profit world, using his name to raise awareness for LGBT
youth organizations including The Trevor Project. “I didn’t always have this
much self-esteem. It isn’t something you’re born with, it’s something you
gain.” Balancing business and style with a passion for philanthropy is
something he learned at a young age from family friend and role model
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
