In addition to earning $2.5 million a year for hosting the show, Klum gets a slice–she won’t say how much, but 20% is a standard agency cut–of any deals the girls subsequently make. (0)
” Project Runway is one of the most popular shows with our audience,” says Victoria’s Secret’s Razek, “and she drives that.” (0)

Klum plugged along, signing up with another agency, and angling for an interview at lingerie powerhouse Victoria’s Secret. (0)

Last season the finale drew 3.8 million viewers aged 18 to 49, up 10% from the year before, the most ever for a Bravo telecast. (0)
