Gisele Bündchen

In 2017, Bündchen continued to pose in Brazil for fragrance maker Carolina Herrera, Arezzo shoes and Vivara jewelry, according to Forbes. However, the model's lower number of similar campaigns affected her revenue, which was down 43% year-over-year. Then Bundchen, according to Forbes, $30.5 million.

Chrissy Teigen

The third place in the top 10 was taken by the American model Chrissy Teigen ($13.5 million). For the first time, she was in the ranking of the highest paid models by Forbes.

Karlie Kloss

The rating also included American model Karlie Kloss ($9 million). At the age of 25, according to Forbes, she has already appeared on the covers of various editions of Vogue magazine 36 times. Her current contracts include cooperation with companies such as Adidas, Swarovski and Express.

In eighth position with an income of $ 6.5 million, according to Forbes, a Chinese woman, Liu Wen, is entrenched.

The whole world knows their names. They are admired, gossiped about, imitated, envied. The smile and soulful look of these women are worth a fortune. Top 10 highest paid models in history Cindy Crawford

The ballerina's daughter, "Miss Chocolate" as she is also called, is the first black model to appear on the title cover of Elle magazine. The exotic appearance, grace and plasticity inherited from the mother turned out to be a valuable find for Fashion Houses. The temperamental Briton starred in the videos of Michael Jackson, Madonna, George Michael, Jay Z. In the early nineties of the twentieth century, one of the six most sought-after and expensive models in the world. Her daily fee is about $10,000. In an interview with Playboy in 1999, Naomi honestly admitted that she works hard, hard and worth every cent paid.

Success came to the golden-haired German woman in collaboration with the Revlon cosmetics company. For several years in the early nineties, she, along with Cindy Crawford, was the highest paid model on the planet: it was the contract with Revlon that provided the girls with those very cherished six zeros. During her career, Claudia appeared on the cover of prestigious magazines 900 times - this is an absolute record.

The supermodel has always been ready for experiments and extravagant antics. In 1988, she appeared in a new image: she cut her hair short. For this, she paid with a refusal to enter the podium in Milan, since her hairstyle was very different from how the hair of other participants was styled. However, this trick soon made her incredibly popular: women wanted to have their hair cut "like an Evangelista." In an interview with a Vogue reporter, Linda stated that she doesn't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day. This phrase very quickly became winged. It was Linda Evangelista who initiated the increase in model rewards. In the late 80s and early 90s, her income was $ 3 million a year.

The first fee received by the legendary blonde is $ 300,000. A few years later, these figures increased: one day of Heidi's work costs about 80 thousand dollars. True, recently the star of the Victoria's Secret lingerie brand is a very successful business woman: she owns clothing and cosmetics brands, and produces television programs.

Kate Moss, thanks to her non-standard appearance, one of the first top models, began to receive huge fees. In the 90s, an agreement with Calvin Klein brought her $ 4 million, a fabulous amount at that time. An hour of model work in the mid-nineties was worth $10,000, and the biggest reward was $5 million (collaboration with Chanel).

The peak of the financial well-being of the Russian Cinderella came in 2003, when she signed a contract with the Calvin Klein brand, opened and completed shows for the Yves Saint Laurent fashion house - $ 7 million a year. But I must say that she started very modestly: the Parisian agency Viva paid Natalia only $ 150 a month.

Adriana Lima

The model from Brazil handles her own bookkeeping personally, and one can envy her acumen. In 2008, she managed to keep her earnings on the very high level A: Profit per year was $6 million. At the fashion show of Victoria's Secret, whose angel Adriana became in the mid-2000s, she shone in a bra worth $ 5 million. It was decorated with rubies, black and white diamonds.

Daria Verbova

The Canadian model and actress was earning approximately $2,000 for 60 minutes at the very beginning of her career. Now the starting cost of her participation in the fashion show is $5,000. The girl is very active: for the autumn-winter 2005-2006 season, she participated in twenty-three shows and appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine 12 times.

The life of supermodels is like a fairy tale - not only do they look like young goddesses, they also earn huge money.

American Forbes annually publishes a rating that lists the highest paid models in the world. Girls who earn millions of dollars with their beauty and work really arouse interest. So now I would like to talk about them.

The clear winner

The TOP of the highest paid models in the world is headed by a Brazilian of German origin - Gisele Caroline Nonnenmacher Bündchen, who consistently holds first place in this rating since 2004. Her name is well known to every connoisseur of fashion. And any other person will recognize this fair-haired girl. After all, she is one of former angels Victoria's Secret. In addition, the girl participated in advertising campaigns organized by such giants of the fashion world as Dolce and Gabbana, Versace, Valentino, Gianfranco Ferre, etc. Plus, she can often be seen on the covers of Vogue, Rolling Stone, Marie Claire and many other publications.

The number of achievements of the girl is constantly growing. She starred in two famous films ("The Devil Wears Prada" and "New York Taxi"), and also created her own called Gisele Intimates.

Last year, 2016, her income was $30.5 million. Despite the fact that this figure is 30% less, in contrast to the profit for 2015 (which was equal to 44 million), Giselle is still far ahead of her competitors. Given that the model has signed contracts with Carolina Herrera, Chanel and Pantene, her income for the current year will be a much more impressive amount.

Following

The girls in the next three places after Gisele Bundchen have the same income, which is 10-10.5 million dollars a year. And they are also included in the TOP called "The Highest Paid Models in the World."

This is 35-year-old Adriana Lima from Brazil, who is one of the Victoria's Secret angels, as well as the face of the Maybelline cosmetics advertising campaign. In the media, she was dubbed one of beautiful women planets.

Next to Adriana in the ranking is a model from Illinois - 24-year-old Karlie Kloss. The girl is the face of the Donna Karan advertising campaign, and also actively takes part in the shows of Calvin Klein, Chanel, Gucci, Versace and many other giants of the fashion world.

The third girl with an annual income of $ 10 million is from the Kardashian star family. The girl is 21 and haute couture she began to conquer from the age of 13. At the age of 15, Kendall signed her first contract with Wilhelmina Models.

pop icon

Perhaps this is how you can briefly describe the British beauty Cara Jocelyn Delevingne. This girl with sable eyebrows does not fit into the standards of model beauty. However, the canons are now of no interest to anyone.

At the moment, her income is 9 million dollars a year. It is safe to say that it will only grow. After all, Kara makes a profit not only from contracts with modeling agencies. She also acts in films. At the moment, her filmography consists of 14 films. The greatest popularity of the girl brought "Suicide Squad", in which she played the main antagonist.

Bottom positions

Continuing to list the highest paid models in the world, it is worth noting Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. The income of the 30-year-old British Victoria's Secret angel is $ 9 million. The girl also played Carly Spencer in the third Transformers and Ankharat in Mad Max. At the moment, she is not active, as she and her partner Jason Statham are expecting their first child .

In seventh place, after Rosie, is 22-year-old Gigi Hadid with the same income. The modeling career of an American woman began at the age of two - then Paul Marciano from Guess noticed her. Parents were not opposed to their daughter representing the famous Baby Guess line. Then the girl focused on her studies, but in 2011 she resumed her career, continuing to work with Marciano.

Ninth place is occupied by the girl Liu Wen with an annual income of 7 million dollars. The Chinese woman is the most popular model in Asia and has contracts with brands such as Puma, La Perl, H&M, Vidal Sassoon, Mango, and Estee Lauder.

And in tenth place is Australian Miranda Kerr with an income of $ 6 million. Interestingly, in addition to her modeling career, she also has her own line of organic cosmetics called Kora Organics.

Russian representative

Talking about the highest paid models in the world according to Forbes, one cannot fail to mention Natalia Vodianova. Our compatriot began her modeling career at the age of 16, with the Nizhny Novgorod agency Evgenia. At one of the views, she was noticed by a scout from Viva Model Management, who immediately offered the girl a job in the French capital. Naturally, the girl agreed.

Natalia has worked on the catwalk for Valentino, Chanel, Gucci and dozens of other fashion houses. She appeared on the covers of the most famous fashion magazines, including ELLE and Vogue, and even was the official face of Calvin Klein. At one time, Natalia was even in the Forbes rating with an annual income of $ 7 million.

But the appearance of children did not allow her to continue to develop in this direction. Finally, Natalia stopped going to the podium after the birth of her third son. Now she has five children - from the British aristocrat and French businessman Antoine Arnault.

The spirit of the past

Those Queens of Fashion who were such in the recent past also deserve attention. Once they were also included in the rating called "The Highest Paid Models in the World." Women have already left the world of fashion, but their names have remained forever in its history.

Britain's Kate Moss, for example, now 43, owns $72 million. She earned them by supporting the Burberry and Chanel brands, as well as Gucci, Calvin Klein and collaborating with other brands. At the peak of her career, in the 90s and "zero", the girl earned 14-15 million dollars a year.

Also in the past, the Forbes list of the highest paid models in the world included Stephanie Seymour, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Elle MacPherson, Christy Turlington and Claudia Schiffer.

Finally, it is worth saying a few words about them. The highest paid male models in the world are also of some interest.

In first place is 37-year-old Briton David Gandy with a total income of $10 million. The muscular handsome man is a partygoer and the face of brands such as Hugo Boss, Massimo Dutti and Dolce & Gabbana. David also worked with scotch maker Johnnie Walker and Whey Hey ice cream company.
