Wow Gisele is eons ahead of these guys, i'm surprised, cos it looks like they don't earn as much as i actually thought.

33 million?! Holy cow that's a lot. I don't know if anyone should be paid that much money to dress up and walk down a runway, even if it is everything they've earned in a year.

Seems like Victorias Secret pays well...i thought Naomi would've made the list too

WOAH
well done giselle

Is that ther earnings? Or is that her worth with all her enterprises aside from her occupation as a model?

Wow! I wonder why Gisele makes so much more than everybody else...Does she work more?

Wow! For some reason I thought Kate Moss was paid more

I would've thought Kate and Heidi would be paid more. Heidi even has her own show! I guess the fact that Gisele is in a lot of different ads anf fashion shows probably contributes to it though. She does a lot for Vogue eyewear.

why does Gisele earn sooooo much more than the rest of them?

i dont get why kate makes so much money. she is not pretty!!

Where's Tyra?

gisele is NOT worth 33 million!

esp. since kate moss is only 9 million?? how is gisele a better model than kate moss?

i dont think tyra counts as a model anymore.

but umm... gisele $33 million? is this job income from modeling? cause seriously... wow.

gisele is probably really business savvy, she knows how to demand how much she wants. other models should definitely learn from her. and of course, she's one of the most gorgeous models ever. who wouldn't want her to model for them??

i don't think we can consider tyra a model anymore, she's retired.

Gisele also put her name on tons of brands, labels in Brazil (I'm from there -- everything from flip flops to bikinis) and I'm guessing she gets TONS from the companies that manufacture them so that she enorses the products as her own.

Ahh I loooooove adriana lima!

I can't believe Kate Moss can earn that amount of money for being so ugly.

citytropic is right....Gisele markets herself more than most on the list. Though, I'm surprised Heidi Klum doesn't come closer to her. Gisele will make less next year because she didn't renew her VS contract. I like her, but I didn't like her for VS, much prefer Adriana or Selita Banks. For some reason I like all these models better than the actresses we have to look at every day. I say bring models back to the magazine covers; all of these girls are beautiful.

....Shalom Harlowe?!?!?! WTF?!?!? She's still around. To me, that was the WORST time for models, when Shalom, Amber Valetta and hideous Stella Tenent were top models. The current VS girls make them look like trash.

my fave is Alessandra Ambrosio. She's the prettiest out of all those girls. I agree with everyone else. How is Gisele pulling that much money?? It's just all hype.

Jessica Stam at only 1.5m? That surprises me!

I love Gisele...she may not be traditionally gorgeous but she can hold her own...I think the $30 million proves that.

Gisele is my absolute fav! I think she's gorgeous! I thought Kate Moss would have made a lot more than this list claims...she really made a big comeback after the whole cocaine use scandal.

Why is it that half of the top of the top earners work or have worked at Victoria's Secret?

I had no idea Gisele earned that much...and yah, me thought that Kate Moss would be higher as well, after all, she's everywhere!

Good for them and all but I have to say that this list is very limited to the same kind of beauty ---I really wish there was some diversity on this list and women of color.

I had a feeling that Giselle is the highest paid model but I didn't know it was 3x higher than other well-known models like Kate Moss and Adriana Lima. WOW. You go girl. I think at the end of the day it shows that Giselle is way more business savy than other models.

and where is Ms. Naomi Campbell on the list?

Tyra retired from being a model two years ago.

lucky gals!

I have a major girl crush on Alessandra, she is so sexy. And I love Gisele because she's athletic and not a skeleton like some (cough cough Kate Moss cough cough).

umm Fab you miss #5???

waow is this really accurate? i just find it hard to believe that gisele can be earning so much more than kate moss.

My bad grys, thanks for the heads up!

xo

33 mil?!? Oh my jesus...!

33 million .... i wish i had that money !

4) Adriana Lima - $6 million
She is my fave Victoria Secret Model

Some of them don't earn as much as I thought, but I'm slightly surprised that Gisele is number one. I adore Gisele though and am really happy for her.

Love Jessica Stam so I'm suprised she came in last. Although 1.5 million is nothing to laugh at; I'd take that paycheck any day!haha. Glad to see Hilary Rhoda doing well; she reminds me of Brook Shields w/ the strong features. Interesting list.

Gisele makes $33mil a year for many reasons. Here are just a few...magazine covers, billboards, she has her own shoe line, movie deals, her contract with VS, fashion shows and last but certainly not least a runway model.

Liya Kebede is my favorite...she is my avatar.

I knew it was going to be Giselle on top. I mean come on, she was a model for victoria's secret, vogue eyewear, and I think dior timepieces as well. Then she has the whole movie career going on. To top all of that off, she has her own shoe line in her native country of Brazil, and its the top selling shoe in the country. She is busy!

Way to go girls. I'm happy for all the girls. Strong independent women earning big money I'm all for that. The last stat I read said women make something like 75 cents for every dollar a man make for doing the same job. Not so in modeling. In that field the women have the advantage. I say more power to them.

btw I love Gisele. I read she's a workhorse and she juggles 20 ad campaigns. Her agent must love her.

I would've guessed Kate for number 1.

Kate has had SO many covers, campaigns and ads in the past year. She's been in ads for Burberry, Versace, Cavalli, Longchamp, Rimmel, Dior etc. as well as non-fashion brands like Nikon and Virgin mobiles, plus her Topshop deal, surely it would add up to more than 9 mil.

WOW...$33 million, hmmmm. I will never understand these outrageous salaries. My favorite on this list is Liya Kebebe, I think she is absolutely beautiful. I also love Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio, although that's a terrible picture.

Nobody ever said that you had to be "beautiful" to be a model. You have to be relatively tall, although Moss is on the short-side of the height, be graceful, be angular, be able to be photographed well, have a killer walk, and be able to persuade people into buying the clothes off your back....Moss is EXCELLENT at that!!!

Oh, and to get Karl Lagerfeld to fall in love with you...and you're a WINNER!!! LMAO

No way there is that large of a pay gap! Unless the others took part of the year off...

aww gemma ward is my favourite model, she has a unique look to her.I would of thought she would get paid more considering shes advertising for a lot of brands. But Gisele... that wasnt expected.

Gisele is SO worth 33 million! she's gorgeous and professional...she is waaaay better lookin than kate moss and more down to earth, andddd she is not on drugsss!!!
