She is one of fashion’s most famous faces who starred in a major Hollywood blockbuster and has a best-selling lingerie range, so it comes as no surprise that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has been named one of the richest young stars.
The 26-year-old has been ranked 27th in Heat magazine's list of the 30 richest British stars under the age of 30 – beating off competition from the likes of Jessie J and JLS.
Thanks to her starring role in 2011’s Transformers movie, as well as her modelling career, the Devon-born beauty has a reported fortune of £5.63 million.

Rosie, who grew up on a farm in Devon, revealed in an interview that she was bullied at school for having a double-barrelled name, small breasts and full lips. But the 5ft 9in model is certainly having the last laugh now.
Scouted at the tender age of 16 while interning at a modelling agency, Rosie starred in a Levi’s commercial, was photographed by Bruce Weber for Abercrombie & Fitch and was quickly snapped up as a Victoria’s Secret model.
Raking it in: Her lingerie line for Autograph at M&S is their best-selling of all time and has no doubt helped her earnings
Big break: She was scouted at 16 and went on to land a Burberry campaign, which cemented her career in the world of fashion
She then went on to land major fashion campaigns, such as Burberry, and became a fashion week regular.
Her lingerie line for Autograph at M&S is the store’s best-selling underwear line of all time and she is currently filming Mad Max: Fury Road.
Unsurprisingly, One Direction - who are said to have a combined wealth of £59.33 million – topped Heat’s list.
Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe took second place with £56.19 million, with co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint coming in at five and seven with earnings of £27.93 million and £24.09 million, respectively.
Other stars to make the top ten were Twlight heartthrob Robert Pattinson, Adele, Calvin Harris and Cheryl Cole.
Movie star: She also landed a lead role in Transformers Dark Of The Moon as Carly in 2011
Well, there's a surprise! One Direction - who are said to have a combined wealth of £59.33 million - topped Heat's list
