Before Madonna became famous, she worked as a model for artists and posed nude for several photo shoots. At the age of 18, Madonna Louise Ciccone, then a dance student at the University of Michigan, posed for $10 an hour for photographer Herman Kulkens in 1977. It is unlikely that the photographer understood then that this dark-haired skinny girl with a bold look would become one of the most famous and successful performers of her time with a fortune of $ 560 million.
Some shots from these photo shoots were published by Playboy and Penthouse magazines in the 1980s, but most of them never saw the light of day.
