     Heidi Klum is best known as a supermodel and a Victoria's Secret Angel.  In 1992, she joined the the national modeling contest called "Model 92" and was chosen as the winner out of 25,000 contestants.  As the winner, she was awarded a contract worth $300,000 US but most importantly, it put her into the spotlight in the modeling industry.  Heidi has been on the cover of some big name magazine companies such as Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, and Sports Illustrated.  With Gisele Bundchen securing top spot again, Forbes listed Heidi as the second highest paid supermodel in 2011 with $20 million.

     Heidi Klum has been one of the top supermodels for many years and was pretty much the face of Victoria's Secret.  When she left Victoria's Secret in 2010, Heidi began her new career as a businesswoman and a fashion designer. With years of experience in the fashion industry, Heidi has the potential to be a successful fashion designer.  Even in her late 30s, Heidi manages to stay youthful and maintain her slim figure.
