Career
She started a fashion model career at the age of 18. One of her friends encouraged her to participate to “The Face of the Year”, Germany contest and she won it. As the winner, she appeared on the Gottschalk Late Night Show, a top German television show with host Thomas Gottschalk. She accepted the contract a few months later after graduating from school and decided not to try for an apprentice position at a fashion design school.
Between 1998 and 2004 she appeared in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Editions and in 2003 in the Pirelli calendar. This proves how sexy and beautiful she is because not many models have the chance of doing that. During her career she appeared in music videos, a video game and won many awards. She has her own clothing lines, perfume and shoes line.
In July 2007, having earned $8 million in the previous 12 months, Klum was named by Forbes as third on the list of the World’s 15 Top-Earning Supermodels. In 2008, Forbes estimated her income at $14 million, putting Klum in second place. For 2009, Forbes estimated her income at $16 million. Klum is signed to IMG Models in New York City.
In 2008, Klum was a featured guest on an American Volkswagen commercial, where she was interviewed by a black Beetle. When she commented that German engineering is so sexy, she caused the Beetle to blush and turn red. She has been a part of several commercials for Volkswagen and McDonald’s on German television.
In early 2009, Klum ventured into web-based videos, starring in “SPIKED HEEL: Supermodels Battle the Forces of Evil”. The web-series starred model Coco Rocha and was directed by fashion documentarian Doug Keeve. In the story, Klum aka ‘The Kluminator,’ and her stylish sidekick Coco “The Sassy Superhero” Rocha battle the evil Dr. Faux Pas who is plotting to destroy Fashion Week
In October 2010, Klum parted ways with Victoria’s Secret after 13 years of working with the brand. She provided a simple explanation in her official statement, stating “All good things have to come to an end. I will always love Victoria and never tell her secret. It’s been an absolute amazing time!”
