Amanda Randolph Hearst (born January 5, 1984) is an American socialite, activist,[3] fashion model, and heiress to the Hearst Corporation, William Randolph Hearst's media conglomerate. She is an associate market editor at Marie Claire[4][5] and the founder of Friends of Finn, an organization dedicated to stopping the inhumane treatment of dogs in puppy mills.[6] She also serves as a co-chair of Riverkeeper's Junior Council.[7]
Family and early life
She is the child of Anne Hearst, a niece of Patty Hearst, and a great-granddaughter of media mogul William Randolph Hearst. Her father Richard McChesney separated from her mother before Hearst's birth.[8] She is also the stepdaughter of novelist Jay McInerney,[9] and a cousin of Lydia Hearst-Shaw.
Hearst attended the Chapin School in New York City, and graduated from Choate Rosemary Hall, a boarding school.[10] After a brief stint at Boston College, she dropped out to pursue modelling.[11] She was eventually persuaded to return to school, and she attended Fordham University, graduating in 2008[12] with a B.A. in Art History.[7][10]
