Gisele Bundchen tops 2016 Forbes Highest-earning models list
  • August 30, 2016

-Anietie Udobit

The Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen continues her reign as the world’s highest-paid model, according to Forbes.
Bundchen, 36, who recently featured in the opening ceremony at Rio, has topped the list since 2002 and last year amassed $30.5million (approximately £23.3million). According to the finance magazine the majority of her income comes from her advertising contracts with brands including Chanel and Carolina Herrera.
The list also serves as a testament to the power of the new generation of models who have successfully navigated social media to advance their careers. Kendall Jenner is named as the third highest model having earned $10 million over the past year, meaning her earnings on the year before are up by 150 per cent. Jenner has the highest Instagram following on the list and was owner of the most liked post on the social networking site until recently.
Similarly, her close friends and fellow social media influencers Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne make the list. Hadid, who has over 22 million Instagram followers, made the list for the first time ranking fifth having earned $9 million (£6.8million) over the past year. Delevingne, who has over 33 million Instagram followers, earned $7million (£5.3million) last year.
