Brazilian Bündchen Top Highest Paid Supermodel
For the seventh year in a row, Brazilian Gisele Bündchen tops the Forbes list of highest paid supermodels. The 32-year-old made $42 million in the last 12 months, earning her more than seven times the second supermodel on the list, Miranda Kerr.
It’s no shocker this Brazilian beauty is wildly successful. The supermodel has branded herself in more ways than one. With major deals with Victoria’s Secret, Pantene, and Oral-B as well her own shoe and cosmetic lines, the mother of two has managed to brand herself so well she has maintained the top slot for the better part of the last decade. The supermodel also earned more than her husband, pro-footballer Tom Brady, who brought in $38.2 million.
Joining Bündchen on the list for the first time this year is Puerto Rican model Joan Smalls, who became the first Latina face of Estee Lauder in 2011. Smalls is listed at No. 8, making $3.5 million.
