1.)Gisele Bundchen
$35 Million
The 27-year-old
continues to bag new contracts, noticeably with Pantene and a cosmetics giant
yet to be named. Her face graces ads for Disney, Nivea, Vogue eyewear and
Aquascutum, the U.K.-based luxury line. Her line of Grendene sandals, Ipanema by
Gisele, banks her about $6 million a year. And her romance with New England
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady keeps her in the tabloids--she even escaped being
blamed for the Patriots' loss to the Giants
2.)Heidi Klum
$14 Million
The 34-year-old model and
mother of three (hubby is singer Seal) has renewed her Victoria's Secret
contract, heads up the hit Bravo (soon to be Lifetime) reality fashion show
Project Runway and Germany's version of America's Next Top Model. She designs
three lines of Mouawad jewelry and a line of Jordache jeans. Then there's new
deals with Diet Coke, McDonald's, Volkswagen and Fontanis water. She's also
coming out with a skincare line, In An Instant, to be marketed by powerhouse
Guthy-Renker.
3.)Kate Moss
$7.5 Million
The 34-year-old ended
campaigns with Burberry, Stella McCartney, Dior and Versace. But her retail line
with British retailer Topshop, carried in 29 countries, keeps her bank account
from starving. Other clients include Donna Karan, Longchamp, Agent Provocateur,
Yves Saint Laurent, Roberto Cavalli and Rimmel.
4.)Adriana Lima
$7 Million
The blue-eyed beauty,
27, lost her Italian phone company Telecom Italia contract, but holds on to
bread-and-butter clients Victoria's Secret and Maybelline, for which she just
renegotiated a multiyear deal. She also modeled for Mexico City-based department
store giant Liverpool and graced the April cover of GQ magazine, her second for
the men's mag, and drew a record number of hits to its Web site. Her sexy
Valentine's Day Victoria's Secret Superbowl ad was a sensation.
5.)Karolina Kurkova
$5 Million
If it seems like
this Czech beauty has been around the industry much longer than would it would
seem for someone only 23 years old--that is because she hit success young,
appearing on Vogue at 16 and bagging her Victoria's Secret contract at 21. This
year, she renegotiated her contract with the lingerie giant, as well as
campaigned for Dell and Mexico City-based department store giant
Liverpool.
