Gisele Bundchen is still the richest model in the world, according to Forbes
For the 10th year in a row.
Gisele Bundchen—recently retired supermodel, wife of Tom Brady, and author of one very expensive coffee table book—is still incredibly and undeniably rich.For the 10th consecutive year, Bundchen was named the highest paid model in the world by Forbes, raking in $30.5 million in the last 12 months. Though she retired from the runway in 2015 (but returned for a one-time strut at the 2016 Rio Olympics), Bundchen still rises above the rest of the planet’s most well-known models thanks to beauty deals and endorsements. These include contracts with high fashion labels like Chanel and Carolina Herrera, as well as appearances in ads for Arezzo shoes and SkyTV.Bundchen’s yearly earnings are down from her whopping $44 million made in 2015, but she still makes nearly three times as much as the next-highest paid model. Adriana Lima—the longest-running Angel in Victoria’s Secret history, according to Forbes—ranks on the list at number two, making $10.5 million this year; Kendall Jenner came in at number three, making $10 million; Rosie Huntington-Whiteley ranks fourth, making $9 million; and Gigi Hadid took the fifth spot, making $5 million.Meanwhile, Forbes reported in July that Tom Brady grossed $44 million in 2016 between endorsements and playing with the Pats. He ranked 54th on the publication’s World’s Highest Paid Celebrities list.Tom and Gisele: wicked rich.
