The Top 10 Model Money Makers!

editor

In the last few years, we've seen actresses and celebrities take the place of supermodels on magazine covers, in beauty campaigns— they even steal the spotlight at fashion shows with their front row seats. (Hello, blinding paparazzi flashes that make it near-impossible for a girl to work the catwalk!) But, today, models are back on the financial rise. And they're not just back in Vogue, either.

At $25M a year, the 29-year-old Brazilian is the world’s top-earning model. Married to Tom Brady and pregnant with their first child together, she continues to promote Versace, True Religion jeans, Dior and Ebel watches. She's known for her sexy, feminine, and body-conscious looks.
