The Top 20 Best Paid Models in the Industry

A tiny waistline, high cheekbones, good skin and a model’s strut may be all that it takes to land a modeling contract. But to be a supermodel, you need to have something more than that.

Aside from strutting your stuff on the runway, there are other ways to rake in the cash: branch out to TV ads, TV reality shows, come up with you own line of perfume or clothing – and if you have a pretty eventful life – maybe even a book deal!

Here’s a list of the top 20 best paid models in the industry, as ranked by Models.com. These supermodels definitely have what it takes to turn their good looks into big bucks!

20. Filippa Hamilton, 22

Hometown: Paris, France

Swedish-French beauty Filippa was first discovered on the streets of Paris when she was only 15 years old. French photographer Marc Hispard took a good look at the towering model – and from there, Filippa had a career that most beginner models can only dream about. At 16, she had her first major ad campaign with Ralph Lauren – and until now, she’s still modeling for the label as the face behind the perfume “Romance” and the Ralph Lauren Collection.

    yes but tyra is retired, she only does recreational modeling occasionally, and she makes most of her money from her show.

    and as for the world’s highest paid models, it is actually gisele who ... See more is first with 33 million, and kate & heidi are second or third place, depending on your source.

      Thanks for the update :) Yeah, Gisele is definitely making the most money. This post really needs updating, since it’s been up for a long time now…

      Thanks!

    I disagree, Gisele Bundchen is the highest paid supermodel today with $33 million every year, while Kate Moss earn only $9 million every year.

      Are you sure, Hanna? I think Kate Moss might be making less modeling, but in total she makes more money than Gisele, thank to her TopShop designer line, for which she models too :)

    hi girls!!!

    i agree with olga, kate isn’t that pretty or tall or even charismatic to be the top paid model. well, i don’t really like her, i prefer brazilian beauties that have at ... See more least more curves… but many people like the “cocaine-adict look” that’s what i’ve heard.

    by the other girls…. no wonder why they make so much money :D

    (ok, now i need my moisturizer…)

    hi ave, I think that number’s the age of the model, not the sum that they’re getting paid per year.
    anyway, isn’t it unfair how these models can get paid millions of dollars for ... See more a few hour’s work in front of a camera while the rest of us poor folks need to work our asses off 8 hrs a day on a boring, 9-5 desk job just to live from payday to payday??? sigh… : )

    Wow, this is quite a list! They all are so beautiful, my self esteem has just hit rock bottom! :) I’d better go put on some makeup and skip dinner… and breakfast… ... See more and lunch… :))

    I do not get why Kate Moss is on the first place, though… all the girls from the top of the list are so much prettier and must be good models too, so what’s her secret? Any ideas?
