Forbes' annual list of the world's top-earning models is out, and Gisele takes the top spot again this year.
She has accumulated $35 million (!) in the last 12 months from her former contract with Victoria's Secret, her ads for Versace, a lucrative deal with Max Factor, plus those popular sandals of hers; and that's just to name a few of the sources.
Heidi Klum trails behind in second place with $14 million in earnings, which is no surprise between Project Runway and her Victoria's Secret contract. But the real surprise — to me, anyway — is that Tyra isn't on the list.
1. Gisele Bundchen - $35 million
2. Heidi Klum - $14 million
3. Kate Moss - $7.5 million
4. Adriana Lima - $7 million
5. Doutzen Kroes - $6 million

6. Karolina Kurkova - $5 million
7. Natalia Vodianova - $4.8 million
8. Carolyn Murphy - $4.5 million
9. Daria Werbowy - $3.8 million
10. Miranda Kerr - $3.5 million
11. Isabeli Fontana - $3 million
11. Gemma Ward - $3 million
12. Selita Ebanks - $2.7 million
13. Valentina Zelyaeva - $2.3 million
14. Hilary Rhoda - $2 million
15. Liya Kebede - $1.5 million
Dolce & Gabbana
Christian Louboutin
Vivienne Westwood
models that make that much money??? seriously that is ridiculous
1Tyra retired as a model (in 2003 i believe?), so maybe that's why she doesn't qualify.
2otherwise, I am sure she earns more than Heidi, with the talk show and ANTM.
Hm...A big surprise for me is that Sasha Pivovarova isn't on the list.
3Anyway,Bundchen is the best.
4So sick of her...
5bundchen has a man face
6Maybe Tyra just doesn't count anymore.
And Sun_Sun, I agree with you 100%!
7i googled a bit and found something reported last year that Tyra was making around $18 mil. not too shabby!
8Will the fashion industry get a clue?!? Gisele is one of the ugliest women I have ever seen (no exaggeration). She looks like a man or, at the very least, a tranny (although there are better looking trannies out there.). I would never buy any clothing/accessory she wears/models because she makes the clothes/accessory look terrible. She's GROSS. I sometimes wish I were a famous designer because I would publicly announce that I would never want Gi-smelle modelling my clothes, and then her time in the spotlight would be over. Rant done now...thanks for reading.
9Gisele is so overrated.
10This doesn't surprise me.
11zzzz
12Sorry but… Where is ALESSANDRA AMBROSIO???
She must be in the top 15… Stupid study…
13go gisele and adriana
14Just to offset some of the previous (and very harsh!) comments, I think Giselle is gorgeous and a beautiful model.
15Yeah, why isn't Tyra on the list? and Naomi?
16WOW!! Great money! i wanna be a model too!!
17um, where's Jessica Stam!?
18Like her or not, you have to admit that she's a smart cookie
Brava Gisele. None of
my fave models right now are on the list but that's actually logical because they are still at the beginning of their career so...don't care too much about it 
19yeah wth!!! where are alessandra and jessica stam!??!?! this totally makes no sense...
20Bundchen is totally a man... I like Pivovarova, Kroes, Mona Johannesson, and J. Maran
21I'm surprised that Doutzen Kroes is so high up on the list.. I love her, and think she's absolutely beautiful, but I had no idea she was that high up.
22Where is The Stam???? I expected to see her close to the top.
23Gigi is sooooo boring. It's like, "Ok, we get it already. She's got great hair, but w/o it....well, she looks like a 12 yr old boy (body & face) + a tiny boob job.
Another over-rated, snooze-fest is Carolyn Murphy. How is she still being photographed for ad campaigns and worthy of sooo much $$$?
Stammy needs to hook up with her (or some of these other broads' agents/mgt) and get a better contract for all the work she is doing, lol!
