Russian "Cinderella supermodel" Natalia Vodianova was included in the The Sunday Times Rich List of British fashion stars.
Vodianova holds the fourth place in the list with £16 millions year income, right after Keira Knightley (£30m), Kiera Chaplin (£28m) and Emma Watson (£26m).
The Russian supermodel is known for her fairytale story. Brought up in Nizhny Novgorod in a poor family with a disabled sister, Vodianova enrolled in a modeling academy at the age of 15 to become one of the world’s most successful supermodels.
After becoming a rich and famous person, Vodianova didn't forget her past and started helping other needful children. In particular, she created the Naked Heart charity foundation, constructing thousands of playgrounds for children across Russia.
Natalia Vodianova is a mother of three children, and recently split from her British husband of nine years, Justin Portman. Now she sometimes can be seen in a company of Antoine Arnault, son of billionaire LVMH head Bernard Arnault.
In spite of her intense private life, Natalia doesn't forget about her career. Recently, she has taken part in a photo session for Etam brand, spending her fee for charity. By August 2012 her Naked Heart fund plans to finish building of the modern playground complex for children in the village of Melnikovo, Tomsk region.
