Tyra Banks is flattered she's referred to as a media mogul in the press after launching a successful career in TV - but she insists she isn't yet worthy of the title.

The Emmy-winning star has scored TV hits with her daily chatshow, The Tyra Banks Show, and her reality programme America's Next Top Model, which has spawned international versions across the globe.

 But the entrepreneurial beauty is adamant she has yet to reach the standard of media titans Oprah Winfrey and Martha Stewart, who have become household names in the States - insisting she doesn't deserve the 'mogul' tag.

She tells Ebony magazine, "Don't get me wrong, ego-wise, when I see the cover of the magazines and they say that (I'm a mogul), I'm like, 'Oh, that looks popping and it looks hot', but it ain't (sic) true.

 "Oprah's been doing this for 30 years. Mogul? That's like Martha Stewart. That's like going public. Mogul? Not yet."

And Banks has big plans for her future, when she does become a business titan.

 She adds, "I think I'll have an empire."

Tyra was out and about in Midtown at the BLT Market last night with her man Utendahl, check out the pics below:
