Forbes have revealed who the highest paid models of 2016

Cara Delevingne, Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley have reached that level of fame where they pretty much don't need to be referred to by their full names.

We know them as being jet-set, fabulously wealthy and absolutely everywhere. All over Instagram, beaming down at you from every ad campaign possible and all over the news .



Although some bank balances are a lot bigger than others, the reigning champion of mega-wealthy models perhaps comes as no shock, there are a few surprises in there. Here are the top seven.

7. Cara Delevingne, £6.5 million


Although earnings of £6.5 million would keep us ticking over very nicely, ta. Cara has been focusing on her film work more recently. The model-turned-actress has been landing movie roles since she entered Hollywood including "Suicide Squad" and "Paper Towns." Cara also holds lucrative contacts with YSL Beauty and Tag Heuer.


5. Gigi Hadid, £6.9 million

At the tender age of 22, Gigi has earned more in the last year than we will over 9743 lifetimes.

Following not too far behind her bff, Gigi Hadid is also shaking up the modeling industry and finally made her way onto the list this year with an impressive salary of £6.9 million.

Her ascendance on the list is partly owing to deals with Maybelline, Tommy Hilfiger, BMW, and Topshop.




5. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, £6.9 million

Tied with her much younger counterpart, British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley also collected a nice £6.9 million this year.

When she's not peddling her successful lingerie and perfume line at Mark’s and Spencer, she's also one of the infamous 'angels' for Victoria's Secret which is bound to help keep her out of the red.

3. Kendall Jenner, £7.7 million

Quickly working her way up the chain is socialite Kendall Jenner, who made a whopping £7.7 million this year. In just a year, Jenner climbed from the number 16 spot to the number 3 spot and saw a 150% increase in her salary. 

It's been a good year for her, with an inflation-busting 150 per cent earning increase thanks to campaigns with fashion and beauty big-hitters, Estée Lauder and Calvin Klein.


3. Karlie Kloss, £7.7 million

But Kendall has some stiff competition in the form of Karlie Kloss, who also came joint third.

Although you won't catch Karlie strutting down the runway during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show anymore, she's certainly made up for it with the most number of ad campaigns and major contracts than any other model.

This is double what she earned last year (well done, Karlie) and is partly owing to brand deals with L’Oréal and Swarovski.



2. Adriana Lima, £8.1 million

She sure has a lot to smile about! Even though she might be getting older, Adriana Lima proved that she's still in high demand as she closed in on her biggest paycheck yet in 2016.

A veteran Victoria’s Secret's angel, 2016 has been a huge year for Brazilian Adriana, who secured massive deals with the L Brands-owned lingerie giant, Maybelline and IWC watches.


1. Gisele Bundchen, £23.3 million

All hail the reigning Queen of wealthy supermodels. Since 2002, Gisele has made more money than any other model, topping the list this year with an estimated £23.3 million.

The likes of Kendall and Gigi may come and go, but Gisele's star - and earning potential - appears to just go from strength to strength.
