Forbes released their ranking of the world's top earning models. Forbes compiled the list by guessing each models "earnings over the past 12 months." Writer Kiri Blakeley goes on to say "Where necessary, prestige and relevancy of campaigns, editorials, fashion magazine covers and the opinion of those in the industry were taken into account."Brazilian beauty Gisele Bundchen earned first place, having earned an estimated $35 million. Bundchen's earnings more than double the income of second place media-mogul/supermodel Heidi Klum.
Most of the models on the list were high fashion rather than commercial. I wonder why Tyra Banks didn't make the list. I suppose she isn't technically a model anymore, but she must earn more than number 15 Liya Kedebe's estimated $2.5 million.
Um, yes, you are correct. Because Tyra is not "technically" a model. Or a model at all anymore. Duh.
