Tyra Banks at the GLAAD Media Awards in New York (3/28)

Tyra Banks makes 30 million a year. Dollars, not yen. 30 million dollars. Damn, I knew I should have gone into supermodeling, not blogging. From Radar:

Forbes have released their prime time top earning women list and there's a few surprises in there! Heading up the list is Tyra Banks, with an estimated annual earnings of $30 million. Tyra earns the majority of her money from the hugely successful America's Next Top Model and her daytime talk show as well as various TV cameos.

Second on the list is Grey's Anatomy cutie Katherine Heigl earning $18 million for her turn as a TV doctor as well as her role as leading lady in films such as The Ugly Truth.

The rest of the list reads:

3. Marg Helgenberger - $9.5 million

4. Eva Longoria Parker - $9 million

5. Mariska Hargitay - $8.5 million

6. Julia Louis-Dreyfus - $8 million (tie)

6. Maura Tierney - $8 million (tie)

8. Tina Fey - $7 million

9. Marcia Cross - $6.2 million

10. Jennifer Love Hewitt - $6 million

If you want to keep Tyra happy, you don't need to give her money . . . you just need to give her a mirror. If Tyra keeps this up, she'll be well on her way to becoming the next Oprah -- which means more money, fame, and carbs. Sadly, watching Tyra become more and more successful does have one downside: her (fore)head will become even bigger than it already is.
