As a follow-up to yesterday’s report that Gisele Bündchen retained her title as the world’s highest-paid model, Grazia calculated how many dollars she and the other list-toppers made per runway meter (that’s 3.28 feet in American) walked. Gisele banked $450,000 dollars per meter, Kate Moss brought home $67,500 per meter, and Alessandra Ambrosio bagged $50,000 per meter. But the real winner here is Heidi Klum, who earned $20 million without setting foot on the catwalk.
