Viva Alessandra Ambrosio! She's one of the few models left who knows how to use her VS contract to platform herself as a multi-media star with magazines covers aplenty and gigs for Armani as well as her TV appearances to keep her market value crackling. That girl knows how to work a moment.

This Bahia Brazil beauty comes off of 2007 with two big bonanza contracts for Maybelline and Victoria's Secret. You can rest assured the scale of those contracts keep Adriana in the dream club of the industry's most wanted. Plus you always want to keep it in mind that her legendary GQ cover was one of the biggest selling issues of that magazine ever! That's what you call power beauty!

How brilliant! You can do a Heidi Klum write-up from two years ago and every financial fact holds up, if not upgrades! Project Runway with an audience in the millions. Check. A Victoria Secret's contract that Miss Klum has an iron grip on. Check. Her own line of shoes, jewelry and candy. Check. The icon they call Heidi Inc. is no mere sexy mortal this one, but a force of nature. All hail.

She's no mere model anymore, or for that matter, simply an icon. Kate Moss is an industry now and quite a money machine at that. The impressive thing about this achievement is that she's managed to become a financial powerhouse while remaining the absolute epitome of editorial cool.
