NEW YORK: US unemployment might still be hovering near 10 percent, but don't worry about the supermodels. The world's 10 top-earning models pulled in a collective $112 million during the past year, a 30 percent increase from the previous year, thanks in part to consumers spending again on the luxury sector, according to Forbes.com. But most of the increase went to the big three of the modeling world, Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum and Kate Moss, who have molded themselves into moguls in their own right, or morphed into pop icons, or both. Bundchen raked in $45 million or nearly double the previous year. Klum added $20 million to her empire. Moss has similarly fashioned herself a double-barreled career, to the tune of $13.5 million last year.
