Top men's magazine Maxim on Wednesday ranked Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli as number three in its list of the world's 'hottest' 100 women.

Alongside a picture of the 23-year-old, Maxim noted: "If there's any evidence that the Middle East is a land of beauty and wonder - not just unending turbulence - Bar is it."

Refaeli, who is the girlfriend of Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio, was preceded in the magazine's "2009 Hot 100" list by American actresses Megan Fox and Olivia Wilde.

Earlier in the year, Refaeli was chosen to feature as the cover girl for Sports Illustrated's 2009 Swimsuit Issue, considered one of the top contracts for models in the fashion industry.
