After helping her mother run a fruit stand since the age of 11, Russian model Natalia Vodianova, 26, moved at 15-years-old, moved into an apartment with a friend and started her own fruit stand. From the earning, she was able to help out her disabled sister as well as enrolling in a modeling academy.

Told she could do well if she learned English, Natalia (nicknamed ‘SuperNova’) learned English in three months and soon moved to Paris to model full-time. She’s done campaigns for David Yurman, Louis Vuitton, L’Oreal, Marc Jacobs, Miss Sixty, and Calvin Klein and currently earns roughly $4.5 million per year.

On July 16th, we asked you to help us name this Mystery Miss COED and we’d give the first person to correctly do so a $15 iTunes gift card

One crafty detective named Bryan from West Chester, PA used the power of Internet research to correctly ID the babe as Turkish model/actress Berrak Tüzünataç on the COED Facebook Group discussion board.

By solving the mystery Bryan won himself a $15 iTunes gift card! Congrats!
