She may not have booked too many gigs in the New England area, but Gisele Bündchen is still the most in demand model in the other corners of the world.

The 27-year-old Brazilian stunner topped Forbes.com's World's Top-Earning Models list, raking in an impressive estimated $35 million in 2007, more than doubling the amount banked by second-place entity Heidi Klum, who earned just $14 million for her Seal-lovin', clover-jewelry-designin', Project Runway-hostin' ways.

Kate Moss continued to keep her nose strictly to the grindstone last year, proving herself a viable No. 3 on the moneymaking list, thanks to her endless stream of endorsement and campaign deals, as well as her Topshop line.

Victoria's Secret leggy wonder Adriana Lima and Holland honey—and face of L'Oréal—Doutzen Kroes rounded out the top five, earning $7 million and $6 million, respectively.
