>> Forbes just released their yearly list of top-earning models: Gisele Bundchen holds the top spot — which she's had for at least six years now — with $25 million in estimated earnings from June 2009 to June 2010.
In fact, there hasn't been a lot of movement in the list in the past year — for 2010, the top ten is exactly the same for the second year in a row, with the exception of Natalia Vodianova moving up from seventh position to tie Alessandra Ambrosio in sixth place. Same goes for earnings — not a lot of change: Bundchen, Heidi Klum, Doutzen Kroes, Natalia Vodianova, Daria Werbowy are all estimated to be pulling in the same amount this year as they did last year, with the rest of the top ten's earnings only going up or down by half a million. Miranda Kerr is the only exception — she gained the most year over year, earning $4 million this year versus $3 million last year.
The full 2010 list, with last year's rank and estimated 2009 earnings in parentheses:
- Gisele Bundchen, $25m (1 — $25m)
- Heidi Klum, $16m (2 — $16m)
- Kate Moss, $9m (3 — $8.5m)
- Adriana Lima, $7.5m (4 — $8m)
- Doutzen Kroes, $6m (5 — $6m)
- tie: Alessandra Ambrosio, $5.5m (6 — $6m) Natalia Vodianova, $5.5m (7 — $5.5m)
- Daria Werbowy, $4.5m (8 — $4.5m)
- Miranda Kerr, $4m (9 — $3)
- Carolyn Murphy, $3.5m (10 — $3m)

"Only" going up or down half a mil? Only is not the world I would use here, but I guess you live in a different world when you're a model.
I would like to know how the collect the data for the list.
Maybe IRS declaration from last year???
Amazes me how Madame Giselle still the number one after the her
cover magazines had been a big flop last year.
For sure we have different perceptions of reality.
Less sales... more profits????
cover sales do not mean a thing. her contracts pay her big bucks and her sandals line are the most successful sandals in the world. modeling alone wont get tons of money, bussiness + modeling will. I believe she is the only model on forbes richest entertainers too amongst all the singers and actresses. she is like the 15 richest woman in entertainment or something like that. dont act so surprised
Yeah i wonder how the know how much each earns. Gisele is cute but i want to know what a real Super Model makes such as Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista.
@Gossip565.com How are you not calling Gisele a "real" supermodel? Naomi, Christy and Linda were on fire in the 90s. Gisele has had a scorching career as well for quite some time. Obviously she's "super" if she's been the #1 model on Forbe's list for SIX consecutive years. I am surprised she's there again since she seemed to somewhat fade away during her pregnancy but as someone mentioned, her contracts bring in those hefty pay checks. Kudos to the bitch. She's spectacular and one of the reasons I ever became interested in fashion. She'll always hold a special place in my little black fashionable heart. Haha.
