You'll never believe how much Kendall Jenner earned in 2018
Growing up as a member of the Kardashian/Jenner clan, it was kind of inevitable that Kendall Jenner was going to be a bit of a big deal.
And now, at the young age of 23, Kendall Jenner is officially earning more money than any other model in the world.
The daughter of Kris Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner – formerly known as Bruce Jenner – has been crowned as the highest paid model of 2018 according to a list by Forbes.
The publication revealed that the brunette beauty made a whopping $31 million (US$22.5 million) in the 12 months prior to June this year.
Forbes claims Kendall’s impressive earnings come from her contracts with big-name brands including Estee Lauder, Adidas, and Calvin Klein, among others.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star even beat blonde beauty Karlie Kloss to the top spot, with the supermodel and coding advocate coming in second place with earnings of $13 million – her best ever yearly earnings thanks to partnerships with Swarovski, Adidas, and Away.
Chrissy Teigen and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley tied for third place on the list, with both models earning $16 million (US$11.5 million) this year.
Chrissy’s earnings came from her decision to branch out into creating a line of cookware, releasing a second cookbook, and hosting Lip Sync Battle.
Meanwhile, Rosie made her money with the launch of her own lingerie, make-up, and fragrance lines in partnership with British department store Marks & Spencer.
Rounding out the top five was Cara Delevingne – who took home $14 million (US$10 million) thanks to deals with Douglas Cosmetics, Rimmel, Tag Heuer, and Dior Beauty – tied with Gisele Bundchen after her advertisements for Stuart Weitzman and Brazilian brands such as Vivara and Arezzo, as well as publishing her book ‘Lessons’.
