Taking to the runway for the last time walking for Colcci as part of Sao Paulo Fashion Week, Gisele shared an emotional message ahead of her final show. Cara Delevingne claimed the second spot, but she only pulled in $9 million for her work on the runway as well as on the big screen. Explaining why she has to give up the profession, she claimed that her body already told her that her career is already worth it and that she needs to stop. “I respect my body, it’s a privilege to be able to stop”.

Off the catwalk, Kendall has bagged major campaigns including Balmain and Calvin Klein, as well as signing her first majorbeauty contract with cosmetics giant Estée Lauder.

Jenner’s debut on the list shouldn’t be that surprising considering the model has been seen everywhere lately.

Behind Bundchen, 23-year-old model-turned-actress Delevingne and 34-year-old Victoria’s Secret stalwart, Lima, was Dutch model Doutzen Kroes and Russian model, Natalia Vodianova. She has officially joined the large league with regards to modelling as she’s among the many world’s highest paid models of the yr. The brunette beauty, who has-been raking in tens of millions since turning in to a show star on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, is now showing in that she’s making her beauty pay as she was ranked 16th on the list with $four million.

Australian Miranda Kerr and 27-year-old Puerto Rican Joan Smalls come in equal sixth with $7.5 million, while Karlie Kloss also tied with Candice Swanepoel, Alessandra Ambrosio and Lara Stone at number eight, all pulling in $6.9 million.
