The 34-year-old model, who has a young daughter and a multi-million pound business, said: “I like making money. But I don’t call people up every day to see how much I’ve made. As long as I have what I need at the time. I am not completely money-orientated.”
However, she did reveal that she is “saving up for a private jet” to help her travel around the world to launch her latest collection for Topshop. “I’m going to call it the Kate Express,” she told US Vogue magazine in a rare interview.
Miss Moss said she loves life in the fast lane and has no intention of slowing down.
“I am still acting like a 17-year-old,” she said. “I definitely haven’t become middle-aged.
“I’ve got a house and a daughter and all that, but I still like to have fun. Even in my business we still have fun.”
The Croydon-based model, who is the face of Rimmel London and Yves Saint Laurent, said her daughter Lila Grace, five, always comes first.
“I’m a mum. All the time. Every day I put my daughter to bed. And at weekends we go off to my other place in Gloucestershire where I keep most of my clothes in a massive room that’s just rails.
“When we’re there we take a neighbour’s pony and trap to the pub
“But, I must say, I’ve been thinking of moving to the countryside full time so that Lila can have a rural childhood.”

At this rate, Mark Ronson will be able to retire soon.
His girlfriend Daisy Lowe is getting plenty of work as a DJ, and she hit the decks yet again last night for a party at Maya in Dean Street.
The gorgeous 19-year-old managed to combine her twin loves of music and nicotine by ’smoking’ one of those newfangled electric cigarettes during her set – at the launch of the new club night Betty’s Parlour.
Possibly so he wouldn’t stand behind her and point out any mistakes, Mark turned up after Daisy’s set and they headed off to Bungalow 8 with a group of pals where they partied into the early hours.

Rachel Hunter has hit out at her critics, insisting she is not overweight.
The New Zealand model’s fuller figure has been attracting attention over the last few weeks, amid speculation she bulked up to appear on reality TV show Celebrity Circus.
Arriving at the Science Museum in South Kensington, London yesterday, Hunter laughed off reports she had put on weight by showing off her toned legs in a black mini-dress.
Referring to an unflattering photo still from new U.S. show Celebrity Circus, Hunter insisted she wasn’t out of shape.
Speaking to Channel 5 News, she said: ‘I’m not fat. That photo was taken from a bad angle.’
As if to prove a point, the 38-year-old looked decidedly overdressed for a day at the science museum.
Dressed in four inch slingback heels, short mini-dress and wrapped in a pashmina, Hunter looked certain to out-glam any geeks at the museum.
Her sexy appearance was a far cry from her dressed-down look in Los Angeles a day previously.
Spotted in LA on Wednesday, a casually-dressed Hunter visited a pharmacy with bandages covering her knees – perhaps covering an injury sustained on Celebrity Circus.
Hunter recently complained that she had put on weight in muscle when she learned trapeze and other circus skills on the reality show.
She was voted off the U.S. show in its fifth week last week.
The 5ft 10in model’s weight has fluctuated over the years. She was at her heaviest at 11 stone following the birth of her second child, Liam who is now 13.
She then followed a gruelling diet and rigorous exercise regime to shed the weight.
Her reward was to become the face and body of underwear brand Ultimo – replacing ex-husband’s Rod Stewart’s latest wife Penny Lancaster.

Naomi Campbell will give up modelling when she has a baby.
The 38-year-old has vowed to quit the catwalk when she becomes a mother after getting broody during a visit to a maternity hospital in Lagos, Nigeria.
She said: “That’s it, when I have babies I’m giving up this business.”
Naomi, who recently served 200 hours of community service after assaulting two police officers at an airport, cradled a baby at the hospital and spoke to doctors and mothers.
The beauty was in Africa for the This Day Africa Rising concert with friend and fellow model Tyson Beckford.
A friend said: “Naomi donated six sacks of toys to the hospital and said to one doctor she was ‘hoping and praying that things change if Barack Obama gets in’.”
Earlier this week, Naomi insisted she wasn’t a bad person and claims people ignore the charity work she does.
She said: “When people say all these negative things about me, I ignore them. Let them be negative – but do that away from me. It hurts, but I know there is more good in the world.
“I’m blessed to be able to do charitable work and good things, but nobody focuses on that, because I don’t throw it in people’s faces. That’s why they focus on the negatives.” – Bang Showbiz

THE world’s highest paid supermodel Gisele Bundchen has posed topless for famous fashion photographer Mario Testino, in a controversial photo shoot that has sent shockwaves through the fashion industry.
Bundchen, who posed for V magazine, baring her breasts and bottom in ripped demin shorts, has defended Mario Testino, one of the world’s internationally respected photographers.
Testino has worked with high profile celebrities and royal family members including Princess Diana, Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Elizabeth Hurley and more.
Bundchen said the shoot may appear racy, but it’s not more revealing than other shoots she has done in the past for fashion houses like Victoria’s Secret.
Bundchen, who turns 28 on Saturday, jokes that she is demonstrating “how to wear denim without wearing denim.”
But she’d never wear them in real life.
“I’m a tomboy and I’m a goofball,” she says.
“Never in my life would I wear anything close to those clothes. After the shoot I take the clothes off, go home, and do whatever I want. For me it’s just a job.”
Renowned photographer Mario Testino shot the images in April on a Malibu beach.
“Only Mario could make me take those pictures,” says Bundchen.
“He was the first photographer that shot me when I started … People are going to say my butt is showing too much in these but, Im sorry, my butt showed more in Victoria’s Secret. For seven years my butt was in every catalogue.”
