Heidi Klum Is Still Earning Millions From Her TV Gigs, From ‘AGT’ to ‘Project Runway’

Heidi Klum is so rich that her legs are insured for more than all our net worths combined, but I guess that’s what happens when your résumé includes:

  1. Being a professional supermodel

  2. Being of of the most famous Victoria’s Secret Angels

  3. Hosting Project Runway, followed by Making the Cut…and then Project Runway (again)

  4. Judging America’s Got Talent

  5. Designing a successful clothing line

Her checks are basically cashing themselves at this point. And as a result, Heidi’s net worth is genuinely massive—but want to get into specifics? Incoming, just prepare to gasp.

First Up, Yes: Heidi’s Legs Are Insured

In fact, one is insured for more than the other.

But before you start thinking Heidi took out a policy on her own legs, apparently, it was a client’s doing. She clarified this to Ellen DeGeneres, saying, “I didn’t insure them, by the way. It was a client that insured them, it wasn’t me. And one was actually more expensive than the other because when I was young, I fell into a glass and I have, like, a big scar. Obviously, I put so much spray tan on right now you can’t see it right now, but yeah, so one was more expensive than the other one. It’s weird the things that some people do.”

So how much are Heidi’s legs insured for? Back in 2017, she told People that one is insured for $1.2 million and the other is insured for $1 million. I scream.

Her America’s Got Talent Salary Is Massive

Heidi is a judge on America’s Got Talent and has been for years. She judged the show from seasons 8-13, took a break in season 14, and then returned in season 15 and has been going strong since.

According to Hello! MagazineHeidi earns $3 million per season, so she’s made…$30 million from this show alone. Moving on!

Here’s What She Makes for Project Runway

According to Forbes, Heidi earned “maybe $1.3 million a year as host and $350,000 as executive producer.” Got it, got it, got it. She originally hosted Project Runway from 2004 to 2017 before hosting Amazon Prime Video’s Making the Cut from 2020 to 2022…but, then, she came back for a 21st season of Project Runway in 2025 alongside Christian Siriano, Law Roach, and Nina Garcia.

If that was her salary the entire time, she likely earned over $19.5 million from the show. Not too shabby!

Don’t Forget About Germany’s Next Top Model

Heidi earns an absolute fortune for this show. In fact, in 2008, Forbes reported that Heidi was making $2.5 million a year hosting and noted she got a cut of any deal her winners made. The show has been on for 20 seasons, meaning Heidi has pocketed $50 million (pre-tax!).

And Then There’s Victoria’s Secret

Heidi is very well known for being a former Victoria’s Secret Angel, and she reportedly renegotiated her contract with them in 2008 to the tune of $3.8 million a year.

Surprisingly, One of Her Biggest Money-Making Years Was 2020

Back in 2017, Heidi made $21 million—so much money that Forbes wrote an entire article about her wealth. At the time, the outlet noted that (aside from her modeling and TV gigs) Heidi built herself a successful retail empire with a line of lingerie, shapewear, and swimwear, as well as perfumes and brand deals with the likes of McDonald’s, H&M, and Intimissimi (the latter which features her daughter, Leni Klum).

But that $21 million pales in comparison to 2020, when Forbes reported Heidi made $39.5 million thanks to America’s Got Talent, Germany’s Next Top ModelMaking the Cut, and Queen of Drags Germany (her exact salary for these last two is unknown). Forbes also noted that Heidi Klum Intimates is killing, as is her clothing line at Lidl.

What Is Heidi Klum’s Total Net Worth in 2025?

Heidi Klum has a truly eye-popping net worth of $160 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Though, honestly, considering how many cash streams she’s juggling, this makes sense. This also includes her Bel-Air mansion, worth $9.8 million, and her $5.1 million penthouse in New York City.

All this to say…those Heidiween parties don’t pay for themselves!
