The 10 Hottest Supermodels in the world. Can you try and guess who they are?
The term supermodel refers to a highly-paid fashion model who usually has a worldwide reputation and often a background in haute couture and commercial modeling. The term was elevated to prominence in the popular culture of the 1990s. Supermodels usually work for top fashion designers and labels. They have multi-million dollar contracts, endorsements and campaigns. They have branded themselves as household names and worldwide recognition is associated with their modeling careers.
Gisele Bundchen was the top-earning model last year, raking in an impressive $25 million. She's conquered everything from Versace to Rampage, while inhabiting one of the most coveted bodies around. Lucky girl. And did we mention she has a baby with hubby Tom Brady?

Thanks in part to her hosting gigs at Project Runway and Germany's Next Top Model, Heidi Klum earned $16 million last year -- not bad for a recession. She can also chalk up her big earnings to deals with brands like Volkswagen and Diet Coke. Victoria 's Secret Fashion Show 2008..Fontainebleau Miami Beach , Miami Beach , Florida
Kate Moss career has already spanned two decades, and she's only 35 -- an impressive feat for a youth-obsessed industry. She earned $8.5 million last year, solidifying her spot as one of the most influential fashionistas in the world, on or off the red carpet.
