I think it's important to get your surroundings as well as yourself into a positive state - meaning surround yourself with positive people, not the kind who are negative and jealous of everything you do.
~ Heidi Klum
Famous model, Heidi Klum was at one time one of the most famous (13-year run as a Victoria's Secret Angel) and highest earning models in the world.
Where height is concerned, Ms. Klum once said that she is actually 5 feet 9 inches tall but she adds half an inch more to her height because everyone else lies about their height, so why not her?
We understand and sympathize with Heidi. After documenting the height of more celebrities than we care, we know for a fact that most celebrities do lie about their height -- some intentionally and some unintentionally.
This height-inflation trend is especially prevalent in the modeling and funnily enough pro-wrestling world. The height of the models and wrestlers are thought to be important in order to make them seem even more impressive.
But Heidi is "height-aware" (she knows about height and has most probably measured herself bare feet). So when Heidi says that she is 5 feet 9 inches tall, we are inclined to believe her.
Even more so after comparing her elegant stature to that of some other supermodels like Alessandra Ambrosio (5'8½"), Adriana Lima (5'10"), Tyra Banks (5'10"), Karolina Kurkova (5'11"), etc.
Interestingly, Heidi's daughter Leni Klum seems to go after her father -- at least where height is concerned. She looks like at least a good half foot shorter than her mother. Genetics works in strange and mysterious ways -- and so do we!
The real height of Heidi Klum is
5'9" or 175 cm
