Kate Moss' earnings have rocketed to £30 million since her cocaine scandal last year.

Speculation was rife the catwalk queen's career could implode after pictures of her snorting the drug were published last September.

The supermodel was immediately dropped by a number of top fashion houses, including H+M and Roberto Cavalli, in the wake of the scandal.

However, Kate has managed to bounce back from the incident, tripling her salary to £30 million.

She is now the face of 14 brands, including Versace, Calvin Klein and Stella McCartney, and has even set a new record for having the highest number of advertising deals at any one time.

Advertising expert Francesca Newland said: "I can't think of any other celebrity who has been the face of so many campaigns at once."

The 32-year-old beauty - who is currently dating wild rocker Pete Doherty - has also renewed her contract with Burberry and signed new deals with Nikon cameras, Virgin Mobile, Agent Provocateur, Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior.

Marina Marzotto, of marketing firm Propaganda GEM, said: "Good or bad, the scandal reinforced Kate's notoriety. She's come out of it stronger than ever."
