Gisele: Beautiful and rich

By RedEye



Who said strutting down the runway isn't hard work? Well, at least it pays well.

Forbes.com issued its 2008 list of the World's Top-Earning Models, naming Gisele Bundchen as top model for the $35 million she earned over the past 12 months. The tally included her now-expired Victoria's Secret contract as well as a deal to be the new face of Pantene.

"Project Runway's" Heidi Klum is second-best. She banked $14 million as host of Germany's version of "America's Next Top Model," and from campaigns with Diet Coke, Jordache and Mouawad jewelry, Forbes reported.

Kate Moss was also sitting pretty, raking in $7.5 million.
