Gisele Bundchen is Sixth Time Highest Paid Model: Her Most Expensive Looks [PHOTOS]
Supermodel, Gisele Bundchen, was once again named as the highest paid model with an annual income of $45 million.
According to Forbes, the Brazilian supermodel accumulated so much wealth from her endorsements and modeling contracts in a span of one year. Bundchen belittle other models in the list with her huge income. She topped competitors' worth over USD 35 million more than her top competitors, Kate Moss and Natalia Vodianova.
British supermodel Kate Moss has a total of $9.2 million of earnings due to her campaigns including Longchamp, Mango and Rimmel, while Natalia Vodianova has a total of $8.6 million for representing Guerlain and Calvin Klein. Adriana Lima lands in fourth place with $7.3million. The top ten also include Lara Stone, Miranda Kerr and Candice Swanepoel.
Bundchen has been the highest-paid model in the world since 2004 making her the highest paid supermodel sixth time in a row. She is the face of Pantene, Esprit and Versace. Bundchen, a former Victoria's Secret model, is also a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Environmental Program. Forbes estimated her total earnings over the last 10 years accounted for over USD 250 million.
Gisele Bunchen is married to NFL superstar, Tom Brady, who is also highly paid athlete and endorser. Last year, the couple was named as the highest celebrity couple with annual combined earnings of $76 million.
On the other hand, there were notable absences in this year's list such as model mogul Heidi Klum. Klum earned $20 million but was deemed more of ''more of a businesswoman and multi-media personality'' than a model. Six out of the ten top earning models have worked for lingerie brand Victoria's Secret.
