Based on her earnings of $45 million from May 2011 to May 2012, Gisele Bundchen is on top of Forbes's annual list of the world's highest-paid supermodels for the sixth year in a row. The other nine women on the list made a combined $53 million.

But the entire collection of well-paid catwalkers — which includes a few of Bundchen's sisters in the Victoria's Secret Angel sorority, like Alessandra Ambrosio and Doutzen Kroes — mark a paradigm shift in the way models look today. "The top girls now represent a return to a true representation of beauty, not the odd beauty or a fashion-diverted version of beauty," said DNA Models chairman David Bonnouvrier. (DNA represents Kroes, Ambrosio, and Natalia Vodianova, who is also on the list.)

Bundchen may be the highest-earning supermodel in the world, but she's not yet the richest. That distinction belongs to former Sports Illustrated model Kathy Ireland, whose retail empire sells an estimated $2 billion in products a year. A breakdown of who might be creeping up on Ireland's territory someday, and what they made over the past year, below.

• Gisele Bundchen — $45 million
• Kate Moss — $9.2 million
• Natalia Vodianova — $8.6 million
• Adriana Lima — $7.3 million
• Doutzen Kroes — $6.9 million
• Alessandra Ambrosio — $6.6 million
• Miranda Kerr — $4 million
• Lara Stone — $3.8 million
• Carolyn Murphy — $3.5 million
• Candice Swanepoel — $3.1 million

• The Food and Drug Administration will start monitoring what goes into beauty products sold in the United States by creating a mandatory ingredient registry next year. Current law allows beauty companies to report their ingredients voluntarily, and there are only 10 ingredients that are banned from domestic products.

• Richemont, owner of luxury jewelers and watchmakers like Cartier and IWC, won a momentous infringement case against a company that registered the trademark for Vacheron Constantin — Richemont's oldest watch brand — in Russia and sold clothes under that label. The outcome of the case means that a well-known trademark in one country can't be taken and reregistered in another country, because it can confuse consumers and harm the original trademark holder's reputation. "This is a landmark case with worldwide implications," said Richemont chief counsel Frederick Mostert. [Material World]
