Isabella won 55 crowns and 85 titles during her beauty pageant career but knew she was destined for bigger things.
She said: “This [the show] gave me a constant public platform to not only promote the show, but also my new jewellery line, Glitzy Girl.”
“We were able to monetise the brand to appeal to all major teen sports, creating a potential market of 150 million kids and teens worldwide in dance, cheer [leading], gymnastics, karate and soccer.”
Isabella was 15 when she started her jewellery line Glitzy girl, now she has doubled her net worth which is approximately $2 million [£1,615,000]
