Caprice Bourret Net Worth

What is Caprice Bourret's net worth?

Caprice Bourret is an American model, businesswoman, television personality, actress, and producer who has a net worth of $30 million. That is a combined net worth with her husband, American financier and investor Ty Comfort.

Known professionally simply as Caprice, Bourret became one of Britain's most recognizable models during the 1990s. She appeared on hundreds of magazine covers, starred in advertising campaigns, released music, acted on stage, and became a familiar presence on British television. Rather than relying indefinitely on modeling and appearance fees, she used her name to create the By Caprice brand, initially licensing lingerie through Debenhams before buying back the rights and building an independently financed consumer-products business.

Caprice has also made significant investments in residential property. Public records document at least one house that her company purchased for £990,000 and later sold for more than £2 million. Her private companies have reported substantial cash and positive net assets, although those balance sheets do not capture the complete market value of her brands, intellectual property, personal real estate, or the investments she shares with Ty.

Early Life

Caprice Valerie Bourret was born on October 24, 1971, in Hacienda Heights, California. Her father, Dale Bourret, worked in real estate, and her mother, Valerie, was an interior designer.

Her parents separated when she was young, and Caprice was largely raised by her mother. She attended Bishop Amat Memorial High School in La Puente, California.

Caprice did not come from an entertainment-industry family and had no major professional connections when she began pursuing modeling. After working in California and entering the early stages of a modeling career, she decided that her prospects might be better overseas.

She moved to London in her early twenties with limited money and few contacts. The move would transform her life. Her American image and outgoing personality distinguished her from many of the fashion models working in Britain at the time, and she soon began receiving magazine and advertising work.

Modeling Breakthrough

Caprice's breakthrough came after she appeared on the cover of a British fashion magazine. Her popularity increased rapidly, and she became one of the most frequently photographed women in the United Kingdom during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Over the course of her modeling career, she appeared on more than 300 magazine covers around the world. Publications associated with her career included "Vogue," "GQ," "Cosmopolitan," "Esquire," "Maxim," "FHM," and the "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue."

She also became known for billboard and advertising campaigns. At the peak of her visibility, photographs of Caprice appeared throughout London, and her romantic life, social appearances, and business activities were regularly covered by British newspapers.

Caprice received several modeling and celebrity honors, including GQ's Woman of the Year. Readers of the British newspaper "News of the World" also twice voted her the world's sexiest woman.

Unlike many models associated exclusively with high fashion, Caprice cultivated a broader celebrity image. She appeared on talk shows, attended major sporting and entertainment events, and developed the television skills that would sustain her career after her most active modeling years.

Television Career

Caprice became a regular presence on British television, appearing as a host, contestant, judge, and guest.

Her early television work included appearances on entertainment and music programs such as "Top of the Pops" and "Friday Night's All Wright." She later participated in reality programs including "Celebrity Big Brother," "The Surreal Life," "Ladies of London," "The Jump," "Celebs on the Farm," and "Dancing on Ice."

She also appeared on fashion-oriented programs such as "Project Catwalk" and "Britain's Next Top Model." These shows allowed Caprice to draw on her years in modeling while presenting herself as a businesswoman and industry veteran.

Her reality television appearances were not always easy. While participating in "The Jump" in 2017, she withdrew from the competition after medical examinations discovered a brain tumor. The health crisis eventually became a major turning point in her life.

Music, Acting, and Stage Work

Caprice pursued a recording career during the height of her fame and signed with Virgin Records. She released the singles "Oh Yeah" and "Once Around the Sun," both of which reached number 24 on the UK Singles Chart.

She also acted in film and television projects, including independent productions and guest roles. Although she never abandoned modeling or business to become a full-time actress, performance became another component of her broader entertainment career.

Caprice made her West End debut playing Maureen in the musical "Rent." She subsequently appeared in "The Vagina Monologues."

In 2007, she produced and starred in a Johannesburg production of "Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical." The project reflected the increasingly entrepreneurial approach she was taking to entertainment: instead of waiting to be hired, she helped finance and produce opportunities for herself.

By Caprice

Caprice began moving from celebrity endorsements into brand ownership around the turn of the millennium.

She initially entered into a licensing arrangement with Debenhams that allowed the department-store chain to sell lingerie bearing her name. Under that structure, Caprice promoted and contributed creatively to the products, but the retailer controlled much of the underlying business.

After several years, she decided that owning the brand offered greater long-term potential than merely receiving licensing income. Caprice later said she paid £263,000 to acquire the homeware license connected to her name. She invested her own money into establishing an independent operation and took responsibility for design, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and distribution.

The By Caprice business expanded beyond lingerie into sleepwear, swimwear, bedding, cushions, throws, and other home products. Its merchandise was carried by major retailers and online sellers including Debenhams, Littlewoods, Next, Dunelm, and Wayfair.

The change from model to brand owner involved substantially greater financial risk. Caprice had to pay manufacturers, maintain inventory, satisfy retailers, and absorb losses when products failed to sell. In exchange, she retained more of the potential profits and created a business that could continue after her modeling income declined.

By Caprice helped distinguish Bourret from celebrities who simply attached their names to short-lived product lines. She remained actively involved in the company and regularly spoke about brand development, licensing, cash flow, and the obstacles facing women building businesses.

Company Finances

Caprice conducts portions of her business through several privately held British companies.

Caprice Enterprises Limited was incorporated in 1997, and Bourret has served as a director since the following year. The company has been used for entertainment, business, and property-related activities.

For the financial year ending in May 2025, Caprice Enterprises reported £679,571 in cash and £1.768 million in net assets. The company reported total assets less current liabilities of approximately £1.769 million.

BCPL Limited, the company associated with the retail sale of textiles and the By Caprice business, reported £68,801 in cash and £45,705 in net assets for the same accounting period.

Together, the two companies reported roughly £748,000 in cash and £1.81 million in net assets. Those figures provide concrete evidence of underlying business value, but they should not be interpreted as a complete valuation of Caprice's fortune. Private-company balance sheets generally do not assign full market value to a founder's name, future licensing income, media rights, privately owned homes, or investments held outside the businesses.

Real Estate Investments

Property has been another significant source of Caprice's wealth—and at times one of her largest financial risks.

She purchased her first property for her mother in Long Beach, California, before buying a home for herself in Hurlingham Square in London's Fulham neighborhood. Over time, she began buying properties that could be renovated, rented, or resold.

One transaction can be documented through company and property records. In April 2004, Caprice Enterprises acquired a house known as Araluen at 20 Ince Road in Walton-on-Thames for £990,000. The company financed the property with a £790,000 legal mortgage.

The house was sold in June 2021 for £2.025 million. That represented gross price appreciation of £1.035 million before accounting for mortgage interest, renovation expenses, property taxes, maintenance, and selling costs. The mortgage charge was formally marked satisfied in 2024.

Caprice's property investments have not all produced easy profits. She revealed that the global financial crisis left her badly exposed and caused enormous losses across her property and fashion investments. She later rebuilt her portfolio and continued buying homes.

Caprice and Ty also bought a four-story house in Notting Hill that required extensive renovation. She described the property as a wreck when they acquired it and said they spent around a year transforming it into their family home.

The couple have also owned homes in Ibiza, including properties used for family visits and rentals. Caprice has said that one individual property sale generated £3.5 million, demonstrating how important real estate became to her overall financial position.

Film Production

Caprice eventually expanded from appearing in entertainment projects to developing and producing them.

She established JJLove Productions in 2023 and became involved in producing romantic television movies and holiday films. Her production credits have included "A Toast to Love," "A European Christmas," and "A Scottish Christmas Secret."

The production company gave Caprice greater control over project development, casting, financing, and distribution. It also continued the pattern established with By Caprice: using the recognition generated by her modeling career to create assets and businesses that she could own rather than relying entirely on appearance fees.

Brain Tumor

In 2017, doctors discovered that Caprice had a meningioma, a tumor that forms on the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. The tumor was found while she was undergoing medical testing connected to her participation in "The Jump."

Caprice underwent surgery to remove the tumor. She later spoke publicly about the diagnosis, the operation, and the emotional effect the experience had on her family.

Following her recovery, she became a supporter and patron of Brain Tumour Research. She has used her public profile to encourage greater awareness, earlier diagnosis, and increased funding for research into brain tumors.

Marriage and Children

Caprice began dating financier and investor Ty Comfort in 2011. The couple married in a private civil ceremony in December 2019.

They have two sons, Jett and Jax. After struggling to conceive, Caprice and Ty arranged for a surrogate to carry one of their children. Shortly after the surrogate became pregnant, Caprice discovered that she had conceived naturally.

Their first son arrived through surrogacy in August 2013. Caprice gave birth to their second son several weeks later. She has frequently discussed the unusual experience of preparing for two babies carried by two different women at the same time.

Caprice has credited motherhood with changing her priorities and reducing her interest in maintaining a constant presence in celebrity culture. She has nevertheless continued operating her companies, investing in property, appearing on television, and producing films while raising her family with Ty.
