The late fashion photographer Herb Ritts once claimed that it was impossible to take a bad photograph of German supermodel Claudia Schiffer. She was one of the six highest paid models of the eighties and nineties dubbed "supermodels," which included Elle McPherson, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista. At the height of her career in 1997 she published her book, "Claudia Schiffer - Memories," and "Forbes" magazine estimated her worth a decade later at around 55 million US dollars. Despite all this, Claudia says her earlier years were hard, her family's wealth and her height - five feet 11 inches - alienated her from her peers as a shy, awkward teenager.
