Heidi is 40 and has four kids, though you'd never guess either of those things by looking at her. The model turned TV personality—whose net worth Forbes has estimated at $50 million to $70 million—is at the peak of her career in an industry dominated by much younger women. She first burst onto the scene in the '90s (after winning a modeling contest while living in her hometown of Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) with a wholesome yet sexy kind of beauty that was tailor-made for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which she appeared in nine times, and earned her those giant Victoria's Secret Angel wings, which she wore for a record 13 years.
For 12 consecutive seasons on Project Runway, she's sent eager fashion designers packing, and her knack for crushing people's dreams with a sympathetic smile won her an Emmy, shared with cohost Tim Gunn. Given her popularity on Project Runway, it's no surprise she was tapped for another judging gig, on America's Got Talent. (She's also on her ninth season of hosting Germany's Next Top Model.)
Add in the fact that she has designed a children's line for Babies R Us and a sneaker and activewear line for New Balance, and you have to wonder if Father Time has granted Heidi a few bonus hours in her day.
To find out how she thrives at such a frenetic pace (all while looking ridiculously amazing), we got her to spill her strategies for staying healthy, battling stress, and cultivating a full, beautiful life.
