Wealthiest supermodels in 2010

Gisele Bundchen: $25 million
Gisele Bundchen (b.1980), the Brazilian-born model of German descent, has made it to the top yet again. The new mom remains as successful a model as she was before her maternity break, which ended in December last year with the birth of her son, Benjamin. Back at work, she adorned the Vogue cover and endorsed campaigns for True Religion jeans and Dolce & Gabbana, besides launching her own footwear and skincare ranges.

Heidi Klum: $16 million
German model Heidi Klum (b. 1973) is also a new mom who made it big on the Forbes' rich supermodels' list. Her youngest daughter, Lou, was born in October last year, before Heidi went back in business, endorsing iconic brands like Diet Coke, Volkswagen, McDonald's and LG – what a list! And all this while, the busy lady took time out for her TV shows too - Germany's Next Top Model and Project Runway. Quite the wonder woman!

Kate Moss: $9 million
British model Kate Moss (b. 1974) has set a record of sorts by appearing on the cover of Vogue for the maximum number of times as an individual. And in the race for the cashboxes, she's done a decent third. This year, Kate also launched Longchamp, her own range of luxury handbags, besides continuing with her line of perfumes. She's also contemplating a collaborative effort to launch her own line of jewellery.

Adriana Lima: $7.5 million
Adriana Lima, (b. 1981) is yet another Brazilian beauty who made it to the Forbes' list. She's adorned the covers of Vogue and Marie Claire, and has walked the ramp for designers like Vera Wang, Christian Lacroix, Emanuel Ungaro, Giorgio Armani, Fendi, Ralph Lauren and Valentino. She's also well-known for having modeled for the diamond-studded Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra 2008 which was worth $5 million. Lima's first child, Valentina, was born in November last year.

Doutzen Kroes: $6 million
Dutch beauty Doutzen Kroes (b. 1985) has already adorned the covers of Time, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Seventeen, Elle, Marie Claire, Glamour, W and Avant Garde, and is a Victoria's Secret angel. Designer lines modeled by her include Bottega Veneta, Christian Dior, Christian Lacroix, Dolce and Gabbana, Dsquared2, Fendi, Jean Paul Gautier, John Galliano, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Roberto Cavalli, Shiatzy Chen, Prada, Valentino and Versace.
