One day in the life of Natalia Vodianova — model, philanthropist and IT businessman

Natalia Vodianova, who ranks fifth in the list of the highest-paid models in the world, is one of the most prominent models of Russian origin.

Having excellent financial opportunities, Natalia at the same time uses her fame for such a wonderful field of activity as charity.

In 2004, she founded the Naked Hearts Foundation, which supports families where children with disabilities grow up and creates a favorable, inspiring environment for such children in Russia and around the world.

Here we will tell you about how an ordinary day in the life of a supermodel passes.

Most people know Natalia thanks to her pictures for fashion magazines. It all looks pretty glamorous, but real life is very different from the external image.

Natalia wakes up at 7 a.m. and wakes up her children around half past seven. She has four children. The eldest, Lukas, is 14, and the youngest, Maxim, is not even two years old yet. Natalia's daughter, Neva, has never been cut, so her hair requires special care every morning.

Maxim's favorite dish for breakfast is pineapples, and Natalia starts the day with warm water with lemon.

Even though he is sleepy in the morning, Lucas is still the best student in the class.

Natalia's 8-year-old son Viktor was named after his great-grandfather Viktor Gromov, from whom he adopted a cheerful character to a certain extent.

When the children go to school, Natalia spends some time with the Elbi app. Today's task of the day is to draw a princess for Diana, a 3—year-old orphan from Uganda. It only takes a few minutes, and the time is worth it to make the girl smile.

Natalia has long been known as an ardent fighter for the rights of people with disabilities. Her younger sister Oksana suffers from autism and cerebral palsy. Today Natalia is invited to the UNESCO Paris headquarters for an event called "Day of People with Disabilities".

Here Natalia meets Irina Bokova, Director General of UNESCO.

Natalia talks about her project "Naked Hearts" and discusses the Elbi app with panelists from Africa, Japan, Chile and Brazil.

Natalia is one of the five highest—paid models over the past 10 years, according to Forbes.

Today the pictures were taken by Mert Alash and Marcus Pigot. Here Natalia shows Markus the drawings that Elbi users have created for Diana.

Balancing between family and career is a serious challenge. Natalia picks up the children from school.

Natalia tries to train at least once a week, and lately she has fallen in love with dancing. This is a great way to stay in shape and relax body and soul.

She combines contemp and jazz.

Dancing ends in an hour, but Natalia is exhausted, because the lesson was very intense.

Like Natalia, her dance teacher Laura also has relatives with disabilities.

After returning home, Natalia contacts the Elbi team and discusses work issues with them.

Team representatives tell Natalia about testing and future joint campaigns with Elbi partners. Natalia is in constant contact with the London office of the app, where all 15 employees are based.

One of the best moments of the day is to see how pleased Diana is with a lot of drawings. Her face speaks for itself.

Sometimes Natalia takes part in various events held by representatives of the fashion industry. Opening of the exhibition "Louis Vuitton" in Paris.

At the end of a long day, Natalia and Antoine Arnault, her companion, go home to put the children to bed.

It's time to take a photo with the kids and wish them a good night.
