Heidi Klum — Supermodel to Super-Producer

Klum turned Project Runway into a 20-season juggernaut that launched the careers of Christian Siriano, Brandon Maxwell, and dozens of designers. As host and executive producer, she earned equity in the franchise — something most TV hosts never negotiate. She then replicated the formula as judge on America's Got Talent and Germany's Next Topmodel (26 seasons and counting). Her total estimated worth: $160 million. The Victoria's Secret Angel who retired from the runway didn't lose relevance; she gained a production company.
