Biography
About Heidi Klum
Heidi Klum was born on June 1, 1973, in Bergisch-Gladbach, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. She won a national modeling contest at 18, beating 25,000 competitors, and moved to New York in 1993 to pursue modeling. She is a German and American dual citizen. She rose to fame in the 1990s as a supermodel, known for her approachable charm and curvaceous figure. She was not part of the "Big Five/Six" supermodels, but she said she often felt like an outsider until her popularity grew in the 2000s.
Klum appeared on over 100 magazine covers, including Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, where her 1998 cover solidified her status. Her breakthrough came with Victoria's Secret, joining their Angels in 1997 and walking in fashion shows until 2010. She starred in campaigns for Liz Claiborne, Jordache, and Volkswagen, and walked runways for Zac Posen and Carolina Herrera. She continues modeling, appearing in Vogue Poland (2024) and Intimissimi's 2025 campaign.
Klum is a television staple. She hosts and produces Project Runway and Germany's Next Topmodel, and she judges on America's Got Talent. She has appeared in films like Blow Dry, Ella Enchanted, The Devil Wears Prada, and Ocean's 8. She is married to musician Tom Kaulitz and has four children. She lives in Los Angeles, supporting her daughter Leni's modeling career. Her net worth is estimated at $160 million, earned through modeling, endorsements, and television production. She supports charities like the American Red Cross, UNICEF, and amfAR. As of 2025, she remains active in television, hosting Project Runway and America's Got Talent, and she promotes her wellness brand Cosmoss by Heidi Klum.
Heidi has over 12 million Instagram followers, sharing behind-the-scenes content from her TV shows, family moments, and bold Halloween costumes. She has a small cloverleaf tattoo on her hip and ear piercings. At 5'9" with blonde hair and hazel eyes, her measurements were approximately 34-24-34 during her peak. She has admitted to minor cosmetic procedures like Botox but denied major surgeries. Her appeal lies in her infectious energy and versatility. She is occasionally referred to as "The Body," a nickname she shares with Elle MacPherson and Gisele Bündchen. Her legacy is her transition from supermodel to media mogul, redefining the role of models in entertainment.
