This morning, AOL announced a huge content partnership with supermodel Heidi Klum.
Klum is kind of a big deal.
Last year, Klum ranked #39 on Forbes' World's 100 Most Powerful Women list, sliding in a couple notches above Queen Elizabeth II.
It isn't the first time the model- turned-actor-turned-producer-turned-author-turned-designer has nabbed a top-spot on Forbes' coveted lists, either.
The well-known (former) member of Victoria Secret's Angel crew has appeared annually on the Top-Earning Model's List since 2007, raking in $14 million in 2010.
Could it have to do with her two hit television series, numerous clothing lines, her own fragrance and jewelry collection, best-selling book...OK, we could go on.
So how did the German-born beauty go from cover model to model of business?
Here's a quick a timeline of Heidi's journey to superstardom and success, proving she's not just another pretty face.
A Super(business)model Is Born: Heidi Klum enters the world on June 1, 1973, in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, a small city outside of Cologne.
In the spring of 1992, Heidi wins Germany's top modeling contest, "Model 92," but passes up the offer to finish school. (The grand prize, by the way, was a three-year, $300,000 modeling contract and a car).
A few months later, Heidi graduates school, gives up her dreams to become a fashion designer, and pursues a career in modeling afterall.
