Highest paid models in the world: Sex sells. Anybody who would claim that to be a misogynistic or inaccurate statement is living in denial, and such a person would need only speak to the women who make up the 11 highest paid models in the world for 2015 to learn this. These women rake in no less than $5 million a year, in part because they make jaws drop and knees weaken due to their looks.

As Natalie Robehmed of Forbes perfectly put it when listing the highest paid models in the world today, the supermodels who are featured in this piece are cashing in after having hit “the genetic lottery.”
You can be sure that one Gisele Bundchen takes no personal offense in the fact that she is largely known because of her beauty. Bundchen, according to the Forbes piece, made over $40 million before taxes over a period of 12 months. That is not too shabby for a woman who is supposedly walking from the runway for good. While fellow supermodels Cara Delevingne and Adriana Lama are making journeys up lists of the highest paid models in the world, both have a long way to go before they are even close to catching up with Bundchen as it pertains to finances.
Social media websites such as Twitter and Instagram have changed the modeling industry, likely forever. The previously-mentioned Delevingne is just one example of a model who has wisely used this medium to expand her fame and her brand. She first appeared in the Forbes list of the highest paid models in the world last year, but she is already near the top of the 2015 edition in part because she has nearly 20 million Instagram followers as of the posting of this piece. Such a massive following makes Delevingne and others like her a dream advertising partner for companies.
T8. Karlie Kloss: $5 Million
Those who know next to nothing about supermodels and fashion may still be aware of Karlie Klossbecause of her publicized friendship with music superstar Taylor Swift. Kloss may be one of the most famous “Swifties” out there, but she would probably be doing just fine all on her own. The 23-year old elected to leave Victoria’s Secret earlier in 2015 to enroll in NYU and to pursue other business opportunities. Such opportunities have, in the past, included partnerships with Kate Spade and L’Oreal. The Daily Mail reported in September 2015 that Kloss was set to earn roughly $299 for every step that she took during London Fashion Week.
