Top 10 Highest Paid Models In The World In 2022

1. Gisele Bundchen $44 million (£28.2 million) 

Bundchen earns far more money than both her husband, American football player Tom Brady, and her younger contemporaries combined. Bundchen resigned from the catwalk this year, but she continues to create shoes for other companies and earns the majority of her income from cosmetics and fragrance deals with Chanel and Carolina Herrera.

2. Cara Delevingne $9 million £5.7 million)

Delevingne gained fame as a high-end model, but the visibility a company would receive from her 19 million Instagram followers, 3.7 million Twitter followers, and 240,000 Facebook friends helps her land book deals. She formerly worked as a model for DKNY and Burberry, but she is now transitioning into acting and will be seen in the much awaited "Suicide Squad."

3. Adriana Lima $9 million (£5.7 million)

Lima has been a Victoria's Secret Angel for the longest. Along with Marc Jacobs, Maybelline, and Vogue Eyewear, she has agreements.

4. Doutzen Kroes $7.5 million (£4.8 million)

Although Kroes first gained notoriety as a Victoria's Secret model, she currently earns a living through endorsement deals with Calvin Klein, Tiffany & Co., and Samsung.

5. Natalia Vodianova $7 million (£4.4 million)

Vodianova is the face of Theory and Stella McCartney, and she earns enormous sums of money from two perfumes—Calvin Klein Euphoria and Guerlain Shalimar Souffle de Parfum—as well as from Guerlain cosmetics.

6. Miranda Kerr $5.5 million (£3.5 million

Kerr departed Victoria's Secret in 2013, although she has since earned enormous sums of money from companies like Wonderbra. She also serves as the spokesperson for Escada Joyful Fragrance, Swarovski jewellery, and Clear Hair. Orlando Bloom is an actor.

7. Joan Smalls $5.5 million (£3.5 million)

Smalls increased her salary by $2 million over the previous year by working in advertisements for brands like Joe Fresh, Calvin Klein, and Marc Jacobs. More than most of the other models on this list, she has also walked more catwalks.

8. Lara Stone $5 million (£3.2 million)

She was seen in Paris when she was 12 years old and went on to become one of the highest-paid models in the world. She has endorsement deals with Calvin Klein underwear and L'Oréal cosmetics, which resulted in the Justin Bieber advertisement.

9. Alessandra Ambrosio $5 million (£3.2 million)

Victoria's Secret accounts for the majority of her income, but she also makes additional money from other modelling gigs and her own swimwear and apparel company, Planet Blue.
