Supermodel Gisele Bundchen pulled in a $42 million salary last year, making her the world’s highest-paid catwalker for the seventh time in a row, according to an annual report by Forbes. The 32-year-old wife of quarterback Tom Brady, immortalized as the “the boobs from Brazil,” not only trounced her colleagues—earning six times more than second place Miranda Kerr’s $7.2 million—she also pulled in more than her husband.
Six of the top ten breadwinning models flew to their place on the list by way of angel wings, enjoying lucrative contracts from Victoria’s Secret. And the list further proves that modeling (the kind that pays) isn’t a young girl’s game: five of the models in the top spots are over 30 (two are pushing 40!) and the youngest is 24 years old, still considered ancient by some in a youth-obsessed fashion world.
Here are the top 5.
1. Gisele Bundchen, 32
Annual Earnings: $42 million
2. Miranda Kerr, 30
Annual Earnings: $7.2 million
3. Adriana Lima, 32
Annual Earnings: $6 million
4. Kate Moss, 39

5. Liu Wen, 25
