Gisele, Heidi, Kate, Adriana, and Doutzen Hold Same Top Five Top-Earning Model Spots for Second Year May 28, 2009 11:43 am >> Forbes just released their yearly list of top-earning models, and the top five is exactly the same for the second year in a row: Gisele Bundchen holds the top spot — which she's had for at least five years now — followed by Heidi Klum, Kate Moss, Adriana Lima, and Doutzen Kroes, respectively.Emanuela de Paula is the only newcomer this year — which could be partially because the list was knocked down from the usual 15 models to only 11 this year — while a number of models disappeared from the rankings: Karolina Kurkova (who was ranked 6th last year at $5 million), Isabeli Fontana (11th last year at $3m) Gemma Ward (tied at 11th with Isabeli at $3m), Selita Ebanks (12th at $2.7m), Valentina Zelyaeva (13th at $2.3m), Hilary Rhoda (14th at $2m), and Liya Kebede (15th at $1.5m).
