British star Kate Moss came second with $9.2 million, down over $4 million from her previous annual earnings. She has deals with Mango and Longchamp which helped her rake in the cash. "In the entire history of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, 140 separate women have walked that runway," he told Forbes.com



2. HEIDI KLUM
Heidi Klum could have clinched the second spot as she earned around $20 million but as she is no longer a Victoria's Secret Angel and is now known for appearing on TV show Project Runway, the publication considerers her a mogul rather than a model. Rounding out the top five are Natalia Vodianova with $8.6 million and Adriana Lima with $7.3 million.
