Forbes released its annual report on the industry’s highest-paid models and, not surprisingly, Gisele Bündchen tops the list having reportedly earned $47 million this year — $5 million more than she is said to have made in 2013. Doutzen Kroes and Adriana Lima round out the top three with $8 million a piece.
But to give you an idea of just how well-paid Gisele is, think about this: Her earnings are more than the top six models on the list combined. That means Liu Wen, Doutzen, Kate Upton, Kate Moss, Miranda Kerr and Adriana could put their money into a pool and Gisele would still have $3 million more than them. $3 million happens to be what Joan Smalls, Daria Werbowy, Lindsey Wixson, Erin Heatherton, Erin Wasson and Candice Swanepoel each made this year.
We always expect Gisele to snag Forbes‘ top spot — that’s never a shock. But there were a few unexpected surprises on this list. One is that Jourdan Dunn makes about half a million more than the ever present Cara Delevingne. Kate Upton is a newcomer to the list, raking in $7 million this year. Karlie Kloss, Jourdan, Anja Rubik and Cara are also newbies (to the list, that is), who have clearly been busting their butts these past months. We have a feeling this isn’t the last time we’ll see these girls make it on Forbes.
