wow. that's actually more than i would have even assumed! not that i doubt the validity of the source --- just curious what was she doing in 1999 to earn all of THAT money?? honestly, that's a fortune. she didn't have any HUGE international campaigns that year, did she? (i mean, campaigns like Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton are all great -- but combined they don't earn a model money like that. look at Kate's biggest year; 2006. she was literally in every major campaign, but her huge multi-million dollar endorsements were from Rimmel and that phone company - things like that. the international commercial campaigns pay HUGE money. i'm sure that's why Gisele does all those Korean department store brand campaigns.).
