You Won't Believe Which Model Makes the Most Money
Forbes has released its annual list of the world's highest-paid models, based on data gathered on the 2013 fiscal year. Obviously, there are some familiar names on this list: Moss, Upton, Kerr, and Kloss all have their rightful place on the magazine's list of the top 21 most well-paid models in the world.
But perhaps more surprising is who managed to make their way to the top few spots on the list. Here's a hint: the top-earning model in 2013 made an unbelievable $47 million last year, while the second-place model made a relatively modest $8 million.
So, who made the most cash in 2013? Scroll down to see the top 10 most high-earning models last year!
The Russian model and It-girl came in 10th place, raking in an impressive $4 million in 2013.
Rhoda made $5 million in 2013, landing her in ninth place.
Ambrosio made $5 million in 2013, putting her in eighth place.
Liu Wen made a jaw-dropping $7 million in 2013, landing her in seventh place.
Kerr, who stars in six campaigns for the F/W 14 season, made a whopping $7 million last year.
Upton made $7 million in 2013, landing her in fifth place.
The 40-year-old Moss made $7 million in 2013, though as we've seen, her assets soar in the $25-million range.
Lima's $8 million take-home in 2013 helped bump her into the top-three highest-paid models in the world.
Perhaps most surprising: Doutzen Kroes comes in at second place, having taken home $8 million in 2013.
The number-one highest-paid model in the world? GIsele Bündchen, who crushed her competition by raking in a staggering $47 million in 2013.
Hailing from the heart of the South and cutting her teeth on the mean streets of New York, Meghan has six years of experience covering fashion, style, celebrities, culture, and human behavior.

Her top three style staples are a good pair of cutoff shorts, virtually any kind of colorful digi-print, and a solid set of shades.
