The Highest Paid Models In The World – The World’s Highest Paid Models For 2015
The 21 beautiful fashion models on this year’s highest paid models list earned a combined $147 million dollars over the past 12 months proving that flawless genes and stellar business acumen are a powerful combination that can make you very wealthy.
1. Gisele Bundchen (Brazil) with model earnings for the year of $44 million dollars.

Gisele Bundchen is the highest paid model in the fashion modeling industry earning $44 million dollars this year, just slightly less than the $47 million dollars she made in 2014. Even though it was reported in the news that the 35 year old model was retiring from the fashion runway, Gisele Bundchen’s modeling earnings have barely decreased over the past 12 months.
The versatile Brazilian fashion model (Gisele Bundchen was born in Tres de Maio near Horizontina, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) continues to sign lucrative beauty and fragrance modeling contracts with Chanel and Carolina Herrera, supplementing those money makers with prestigious high fashion advertising campaigns for Emilio Pucci and Balenciaga. Gisele Bundchen’s Under Armour advertisements also contributed to her modeling income, and with millions of social media fans and followers located around the world Gisele Bundchen has turned her name into a global brand. For example, the Brazilian supermodel gets a cut of sales from the jelly sandals she designs for Brazilian shoemaker Grendene, while her line of Hope lingerie known as Gisele Bundchen Intimates also contributes to her paycheck. Finally, if these amazing fashion modeling campaigns and modeling earnings do not inspire you or your daughter to become a fashion model maybe this will…
“Brazilian fashion model Gisele Bundchen has earned over $430 million from fashion modeling since the beginning of this century.”
2. Cara Delevingne (United Kingdom) with model earnings for the year of $9 million dollars.
