Who

The pouty Brazilian supermodel is known for her Victoria's Secret ads and her famous ex-boyfriends like Derek Jeter and Lenny Kravitz.

Backstory

Lima began her modeling career after winning a Ford Models-sponsored "Supermodel of Brazil" contest in her early teens. She soon signed with Ford and a couple of years later moved to New York, where she was almost immediately poached by Elite. A steady stream of jobs quickly followed: A lingerie billboard in Times Square helped her land a gig as the face of Guess jeans in 2000; she made her Victoria's Secret runway and catalog debut the same year. By 2001, she was touring the country with other Victoria's Secret Angels like Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum. She's now repped by David Bonnouvrier's DNA Models and continues to work on print campaigns and in runway shows for the likes of Baby Phat, BCBG and Bebe.

Of note

The fourth-highest paid model in the world (just behind Gisele Bundchen, Kate Moss, and Heidi Klum), Lima made a reported $7 million in 2007 thanks to her contracts with Victoria's Secret, Maybelline and Telecom Italia. She's also a coveted cover girl: Her April 2006 GQ cover was the mag's best selling issue of the year. Although at one point she seemed intent on transitioning to TV/film (she appeared in the BMW Films short "The Hire" with Clive Owen and Mickey Rourke), her only onscreen appearances as of late have been on talk shows like the Tyra Banks Show.

Personal

Lima has a string of famous exes, including Derek Jeter, Prince Wenzeslaus of Lichtenstein, and Lenny Kravitz, to whom she was engaged until 2002. (After she and Kravitz broke up, he still kept a nude portrait of them hanging above his bed.) She eventually settled down and married Serbian basketball player Marko Jaric in 2009. The couple lives in a Midtown condo Lima paid $1.995 million for in 2003.
