Heidi Klum London, May 14 (ANI): Gisele Bundchen, the 29-year-old who is married to American football player Tom Brady, earned 25 million dollars last year, making her the world’s highest paid model for the second year running.

In the Forbes’ list, Heidi Klum came in second with 16 million dollars in earnings, followed by style icon Kate Moss, also 36, who made 9 million dollars, through modelling campaigns, her clothing range for Topshop, and her perfume.

It is the second year the same three models topped the list, reports The Telegraph.

Steve Bertoni of Forbes said: “These contracts were written during the doldrums of the recession.

“So when companies decided on the faces of their campaigns, they wanted to play it safe.”

Adriana Lima, 28, came in fourth with a 7.5-million-dollar salary.

Dutch model Doutzen Kroes, 25, was placed fifth with 6 million dollars.

“These are the tried and true supermodels of the last decade … the household names of the industry,” Bertoni said.

Carolyn Murphy, who is the face of Estee Lauder, Roberto Cavalli and Anne Klein, earned 3.5 million dollars to grab the 10th spot.

The list represents earnings made from June 2009 to July 2010. (ANI)
