By Zafeiros Anastasiou

They are not just beautiful people with endless legs who walked the catwalks of the biggest fashion houses. These ladies also happen to be very rich… 

First (and best) is the Brazilian Gisele Bünchen! The former Victoria's Secret model, although initially rejected because of her nose, never put it down, after chasing her dream and managed to become the highest paid model in the world! Her business spread when she partnered with Ipanema and was a huge success. It also has its own line of beauty products and a hotel! Her fortune reaches $ 150 million.

Second on the list is Tyra Banks, who started working as a model at the age of 15. Tyra was also a Victoria's Secret Angel. When she decided to leave the runways, she became a producer and presenter on America's Next Top Model, whose rights were sold worldwide. Banks even has its own talk show! Tyra, 38, now has a fortune of $ 89 million.

Continuation in the list takes the British Kate Moss with a fortune of 79 million. Moss became famous thanks to her characteristic face and her slender figure. Until today she has collaborated with Rimmel, Balmain and Topshop in which she has even designed her own collection!

The list is followed by the German Heidi Klum with profits of $ 70 million. The 36-year-old Heidi, who is rumored to be recently divorced from her husband Seal, started as a catalog model and became famous when she walked the runway at Victoria's Secret.
