company certainly got their advertising dollars'
worth.

showed her ability to transfer her fame into other
business-related ventures.

lifestyle of party and drug habits and checked into the
Priority Drug Rehab Clinic in London in November 1998. She
stayed at this $500-a-day center for a couple months. When
she was discharged, Depp presented her with a BMW as a
get-well gift. The car's price tag was over
$100,000.

Salary --- Really!!
Kate's unique and somewhat emaciated
look has made her sought after and has kept her income level
high. She charges at least $10,000 a day doing
female
modeling poses for photo
shoots and advertisers know that she's worth it. She has
appeared on more than 300 magazine covers, and has earned
her way to the number two spot on Forbes top 15 richest
supermodels.
The Words Fashion And Kate Are
Synonymous
Almost any magazine or fashion
newsletter will state that Kate is known internationally as
a clothing icon. She is credited with starting numerous
fashion trends, like denim cutoffs, Ugg boots and ballet
flats.
She was reportedly the fashion
designer for a collection of clothes for the Topshop chain
in the UK. The press gave the clothing line mixed reviews,
saying that only very thin women can wear these unique
outfits.
Kate Moss, The Statue Of
Beauty
A 100% gold statue of Kate Moss
appears as part of the British Museum exhibit. Marc Quinn
who described Kate as the "ideal beauty of the moment" made
the statue. But it's apparent that Kate is a female
supermodel fixture who will be around for years to
come.
Not everything from Kate's life can or
should be copied. But, take away the dark times of drugs and
then watch her other promotional and modeling moves
carefully. She has "made it to the top" when it comes to a
successful career as a supermodel.
