World's richest supermodels treat themselves on day off

20 JULY 2007

Having just been revealed as two of the world's wealthiest models Gisele Bundchen and fellow catwalk queen Heidi Klum could be forgiven for splashing out a little. The body from Brazil, who was named modelling's top earner with an income of £16.2 million last year, built up a collection of shopping bags during a retail therapy spree in New York's trendy West Village on Thursday.

Making the most of being off-duty for the day, the 26-year-old checked out the casual, sporty collection of clothes at the James Perse store. She also picked up some items at the upmarket Yoya children's boutique, no doubt helping a friend's little one get off to a stylish start.

Meanwhile, her former Victoria's Secret colleague Heidi - who still models for the lingerie label - was in the mood for a spot of pampering at a Beverly Hills salon. The mum-of-three, who was dressed-down in comfy leggings and T-shirt, can certainly afford a new haircut after boosting her bank balance by £3.9 million in 2006.

She was placed third in Forbes' annual list of wealthiest supermodels, beaten to second place by British beauty Kate Moss.
