Gisele Bundchen has topped Forbes' list of highest-earning models. The
35-year-old model - who announced her retirement from the runway
earlier this year - made an astonishing $44m between June 2014 and June
2015, taking the top spot for the 14th year in a row.
All thanks
to lucrative advertising campaigns for the likes of Chanel, Balenciaga,
Carolina Herrera and Emilio Pucci, as well as profits from her Gisele
Bundchen Intimates lingerie collection and the jelly sandals she designs
for Brazilian shoemaker Grenden.
Her earnings are particularly
astonishing as the second-placed models, Cara Delevingne and Adriana
Lima, made a relatively-small $9m
Doutzen Kroes took fourth place with $7.5m, just ahead of Natalia Vodianova, who rounded out the top five with $7m.
Miranda
Kerr and Joan Smalls tied for sixth spot with $5.5m, while Karlie
Kloss, Lara Stone, Alessandra Ambrosio and Candice Swanepoel all made
eighth place by by bringing in $5m.
Elsewhere, Kendall Jenner - who
took 16th spot with $4m - and Lithuanian model Edita Vilkeviciute, who
placed 17th, were the only newcomers to the rankings.
