		Cindy Crawford Cindy has appeared on over 400 magazine covers � more than any of the other so-called �supermodels�.

She married actor Richard Gere in December 1991 and filed for divorce three years later. She tied the knot with nightclub owner Rande Gerber in 1998 and they have since had a son, Presley. Her 11-year contract with Revlon is coming to an end and won't be renewed in February. She still has several commercial deals, including Omega, Moulinex and the online firm eStyle.com.		12.8%
