CATWALK CAPER PAYS OFF FOR BRAZILIAN GISELE

BRAZILIAN supermodel Gisele Bundchen remains the highest-earning catwalk queen after raking in more than $US35 million ($37 million) last year.
Bundchen, 27, may have ended her longstanding agreement with Victoria's Secret, but the blonde beauty still has about 20 contracts and has appeared in ads for Disney and Nivea among others. According to Forbes.com, the former girlfriend of actor Leonardo DiCaprio and current partner of American football star Tom Brady, earned more than double the second-highest paid model, Germany's Heidi Klum.
Klum, 34, earned $US14 million through her modelling, media and fashion interests.
Third on the list was British supermodel Kate Moss. Despite ending campaigns with several high-profile labels, the waif-like model netted about $US7.5million, thanks to the success of her fashion line. Miranda Kerr was the highest ranked Australian at 10th, earning $US3.5 million, followed by Gemma Ward in 11th place with $US3 million.
