Ever since Gisele told GQ she didn’t really make $35 million, as Forbes reported in their 2008 list of top-earning models, we’ve stopped viewing their salary estimations as God-given fact. They just released this year’s richest models list, and it’s the same people in the same order as last year’s list, only four models had slight salary differences from last year. And the top ten in last year’s list was nearly identical to the top ten in the previous year’s list. So we’ll copy and paste last year’s list into this post and make those four slight salary adjustments for you, but reading it is about as exciting as watching a rerun of The Real Housewives of New York.
New list:
1. Gisele Bündchen- $25 million
2. Heidi Klum - $16 million
3. Kate Moss - $9 million-
4. Adriana Lima - $7.5 million
5. Doutzen Kroes - $6 million
6. Alessandra Ambrosio - $5.5 million
7. Natalia Vodianova - $5.5 million
8. Daria Werbowy - $4.5 Million
9. Miranda Kerr - $4 million
10. Carolyn Murphy - $3.5 million
