Ranking: the highest paid models of all time
They are beautiful, popular and highly followed on social networks: they are the models, living brands par excellence of every fashion house.
Over the years the profession of the top model has evolved: it is increasingly common to find prima donnas for fashion houses multitasking personality, divided between the profession of supermodel and those of actress, singer, designer, television personality.
In addition to being true workaholics, models are also well paid for their work. If you are curious to know who the highest paid models in the star system are, take a look at this ranking .
1 – Kendall Jenner
The first place in this superlative ranking is occupied by a model who certainly needs no introduction.
Born in '95, Kendall Jenner is known to the general public for belonging to the vast and picturesque "dynasty" of the Kardashians and became famous thanks to the reality show "Keeping up with the Kardashians". The assets of the daughter of Kris and Caitlyn Jenner are around 22.5 million dollars : not bad for a young woman who became a supermodel in record time.
2 – Karlie Kloss
In second place in the ranking of the highest paid models in the world we find the American supermodel and blogger Karlie Kloss. Born in 1992, she began working in 2007 for the biggest fashion houses: Versace, Carolina Herrera, Calvin Klein, Just Cavalli. Her name, however, is above all linked to the very famous lingerie brand Victoria's Secret, with which she will collaborate from 2011 to 2015.
Kloss' assets are around 13 million dollars.
3 – Chrissy Teigen
Bronze medal for the beautiful Chrissy Teigen, wife of the singer-songwriter John Legend, who boasts an ethnic beauty thanks to her Norwegian ancestry on her father's side and Thai on her mother's side.
Teigen's debut in the glossy world of fashion began in 2004; her debut in the magazine Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2010 was very important. The model has appeared in important magazines in the sector such as Vogue, Glamor and Cosmopolitan. Chrissy Teigen's CV also includes a lot of television and publishing, thanks to the publication of a recipe book.
Chrissy Teigen is a continuously erupting volcano and her assets prove it: the model earns, in fact, 11.5 million dollars.
4 – Rosie Huntington-Whitely
The fourth highest paid model in the world is European. The British Rosie Huntington-Whitely, in addition to being an internationally renowned supermodel who has appeared in magazines such as Vogue and Teen Vogue, also boasts a fulfilling career as an actress (she has appeared in blockbusters such as “Transformers 3” and “Mad Max: Fury Road“).

5 – Gisele Bündchen
To find out who occupies fifth place in this head-spinning ranking we have to fly to Brazil, homeland of the "divine" Gisele Bündchen.
A name that needs no introduction, a breathtaking beauty, a well-established supermodel career that earns the angel of Victoria's Secret a fortune that would make Scrooge McDuck pale: 10 million dollars. A more than dignified "retirement" for Bündchen who, even if she no longer walks the catwalks, remains an absolute icon of the sector.
6 – Cara Delevigne
In sixth place – in ex-aequo with Gisele Bündchen – the English Cara Delevingne, who has also been away from the catwalks since 2015: another curious coincidence that links her career to that of her Brazilian colleague.
