Supermodel Giselle launched a sandal line with Ipanema this week but she certainly doesn't need the money. It was announced today that for the second year running she tops the Forbes World’s Top-Earning Model list.

It is claimed that the Brazilian model earned an estimated $35 million in 2007, ahead of Heidi Klum with $14 million, whilst Kate Moss assumed third position with earnings of $7.5 million.

It's hardly surprising that business-savvy Giselle tops this list again. She is the face of Pantene, Dolce & Gabbana and Michael Kors to name but a few. But she also insists on being paid in Euros instead of dollars. Not just a pretty face 'eh?

Below are images from her Ipanema sandals launch in Berlin earlier in the week.
