Gisele Bundchen Is The World’s Highest Paid Model

Gisele Bundchen Is The World’s Highest Paid Model

Brazilian bombshell Gisele Bundchen has topped the ranking of highest paid models for the eighth consecutive year, after taking home a whopping $47 million in earnings last year. That puts her far and away ahead of the number two spot – new mother Doutzen Kroes – who made $8 million last year. It also puts Bundchen $16 million ahead of husband Tom Brady, who earns $31.3 million a year as the star quarterback for American football team the New England Patriots.

Some of the entries are pretty standard – big bookers like Victoria’s Secret Angel Adriana Lima, supermodel Kate Moss and Australia’s sweetheart Miranda Kerr took home the third, fourth and sixth spot respectively – but some of the newcomers may raise eyebrows. American Kate Upton is the highest-ranking new entry, sitting at number five on the list with an annual income of $7 million, thanks in part to a lucrative cosmetics contract with Bobbi Brown.
Queen of Instagram Cara Delevingne Cara Delevingne made $3.5 million, ranking her at number 15 on the list. Delevingne’s BFF Jourdan Dunn came in just ahead of her at number 13, with $4 million in earnings thanks to contracts with Maybelline and Burberry. Both were first-time entries to the list.

Only five of the models ranked are not Victoria’s Secret Angels (Kate Upton, Kate Moss, Carolyn Murphy, Lindsey Wixson and Daria Werbowy). Wixson is the youngest entry on the list at 20 years old, while 40-year old Kate Moss is the oldest. This year, the 21 models ranked had a combined earning – make sure you’re sitting down for this next statement – of an incredible $142 million dollars.
