Kate Moss's fortunes continue to rise

2013 was the 40-year-old supermodel's most lucrative year to date, with her business accounts now boasting assets of almost 17 million pounds.

She may have hit 40 earlier this year but Kate Moss's career shows no signs of slowing down; the past 12 months have been her most lucrative to date.

She has seen her business assets rise from just over 11 million to almost 17 million, on top of her personal fortune, which, according to a recent Sunday Times listing, stands at an impressive 55 million.

Assets of her main company, Tilly Church Ltd, rose from 7.9 million in October 2012 to 11.8 million in October 2013, according to details filed at Companies House. Her secondary company, Skate LLP, saw a lower but still impressive rise from 3.7 million to 4.9 million over the same period, making her net business assets just short of 17 million.

The period takes into account Moss's phone accessories collaboration with Carphone Warehouse, campaigns for Stuart Weitzman, St Tropez, Matchless, Rag & Bone, Kerastase, an editorial for Playboy, as well as an ongoing contract with Rimmel, and the release of the Kate Moss book, which celebrated her career so far.

Her fortunes will surely rise even further this year though, thanks in part to her comeback design collaboration with Topshop and a no-doubt lucrative upcoming fragrance campaign for Burberry alongside Cara Delevingne.
