Following this, Delventhal worked as a model.
She became the first runner-up for the Miss Connecticut USA beauty pageant in 2013. It is unclear what her prize money was for this. However, as the winner of Miss Teen USA receives a $25,000 cash scholarship, Delventhal’s winnings would have been significantly lower than this (9).
