Biography
German model, considered by some to be the world's prettiest woman. She was discovered in 1988 at the age of 17 and got her career start with Elle Magazine. She has appeared on the cover of more than 400 magazines since her debut in 1987, and signed a fabulous contract with Revlon. She became engaged to illusionist David Copperfield in January 1994 and even made a guest appearance on his CBS Special, "15 Years of Magic," 5/12/1994.
Schiffer has invested in hotels along Honduras' Atlantic coast and in 1997 acquired a $2 million mansion on Honduras' Roatan Island, a tourist center. When hurricane Mitch ravaged Central America in October 1999, killing more than 9,000 and destroying hundreds of thousands of homes, it largely sparing Roatan Island, Schiffer donated $2 million for the construction of 112 homes for the victims of the hurricane.
In 1997, Copperfield filed a $30 million lawsuit against a French magazine that had suggested his union with Schiffer was a fraud. In all their pictures together, no photographer managed to catch one in which he ever looked at her; the appeal was the camera lens. After a six-year engagement, the couple announced their separation in early September 1999.
She and Matthew Vaughan became the parents of a son Caspar on January 30, 2003. The supermodel gave birth to her second child, a girl, on November 11, 2004 in London.
