Linda Evangelista famously said she would never get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day. Funnily enough, says Bryony Gordon in The Daily Telegraph, that's close to what Cara Delevingne takes home "after a long hard slog in the office".
Recently filed accounts show that the 22-year-old supermodel earned £6,500 every day last year about £2.4m in total, with campaigns for, among others, Burberry and Chanel.
Yet she's never boring and her Instagram followers would probably say they don't see enough of her, "even if she regularly updates them with pictures of her naked back, bottom and boobs".

She is just as fascinating to women in their 40s as girls in their teens, says Gordon, and she puts men in a spin "thanks to her habit of dating members of the same sex".
She's so cool that Kate Moss chose to dress up as her at Halloween, either as a tribute or because she is Moss's worst nightmare, "nearly two decades her junior and the only person who has come close to stealing her supermodel crown".
She's not like other supermodels, though, happily posing for the paparazzi with "a tongue out here and a screwed-up face there". When Gordon interviewed her, earlier this year, the interview took place in a room in the Chiltern Firehouse in bed.
While under the duvet covers, Gordon asked her about her sexuality and she brushed aside her PR's efforts to keep off the subject: "I'm young, I'm having fun, I don't want to pretend to be something I'm not People can say what they want, but I'm having a good time."
Mick Hucknall and his 1,000 women
Mick Hucknall, with his "trademark orange hair" and cherubic curls, is equally frank about his sexuality. The singer, who has sold more than 60 million albums, had a difficult childhood, but it didn't hold him back.
Asked by The Daily Telegraph's Matthew Stadlen if it's true he's had sex with 1,000 women, Hucknall says it probably is, but he'd never brag about it. "It's not what makes me tick. I don't put chips on the bedpost."
Especially before Aids, it was madness. "It's like kids in a candy store. You can't believe it. There's girls chasing you all the time it's incredible. When you're 24 you don't give a toss. You're invincible."
His upbringing helped. Abandoned before he was three by his mother, he was brought up by his father, a barber and by four teenage girls who lived five minutes away from his working-class Manchester home. The experience was instructive. "Four different personalities, four different interpretations of women."
Later, he fell into bad company, hanging out with "psycho boys" who stole lead and copper wiring from a road-building site and sold it. "I was making about 20 quid a week," says Hucknall. His father cursing the day the Beatles met because long hair became trendy was only earning £75. But Hucknall has long since exorcised his demons. Now, married with a daughter, he's happy "80% of the time and I'm satisfied with that".
Tabloid money: property tycoon Tony Blair and his £100m fortune
An MP recently gave me his considered opinion of Russell Brand, says Brian Reade in the Daily Mirror. "What an overpaid, untalented, unintelligent, attention-seeking, pretentious, hypocritical tosser' was his opening gambit."
But when Brand tells people not to vote and to start a revolution, his cynicism becomes a danger to democracy, the MP continued.
"Now I'd go along with a few of those observations However, to hear an MP call somebody outside Westminster a dangerous cynic takes the taxpayer-subsidised Commons dining-room biscuit. Because, to today's voters, your average politician stares back at them with a more cynical expression than Jack Dee would if a born-again Christian told him that Jesus wants him for a sunbeam."
"Millionaire fixer Tony Blair made £41,000 a month plus 2% of the proceeds in a top-secret deal between a Saudi prince and a Malaysian government company," says Trevor Kavanagh inThe Sun. "The former socialist and Labour PM is now a tycoon in his own right, amassing a £100m fortune in six short years.
The property empire built by Blair and his wife Cherie, one-time disciple of arch-leftie Tony Benn, is worth £20m alone. Nothing wrong with that, you might think. But is it appropriate that he continues to keep his dubious role as our Middle East peace envoy, giving him access to the world's most powerful players and a guaranteed place at every top table?"
"A poll this week found that 82% of those questioned want more powers to be taken away from Westminster and given to local councils," says Jeremy Clarkson in The Sun. "Right. I see. And where did they do this questioning? In an asylum?"
At least in London we can see what "our beloved elected leaders" do with our cash. But nobody really checks what councillors do with it. You may think, watching Westminster, "that we are being governed by apes and lunatics. But trust me... if you could see what goes on in your local town hall, you'd want to burn it down."
