Kendall Jenner Gets Major Modeling Achievement

But, it’s no surprise that the runway veteran, Gisele Bündchen, still topped the list for the ninth consecutive time.

The 35-year-old shocked the industry earlier this year when she revealed that she would be retiring from the catwalk – although not from modelling altogether.

Forbes released its highest paid model list and Gisele Bündchen tops the list with $44 million up her sleeves this year.

“Kendall’s generation is more influenced by digital media than television, magazines or any other forms of advertising”, her representative Chris Gay, general manager of The Society Management, said. However, Delevingne’s placement this year might also be her last.

“Gisele has successfully turned herself into a brand”, Forbes noted. However, if it wasn’t for her last name, it is doubtful she would be on Forbes’ list as a top earning model.

Russian model Natalia Vodianova rounds out the top five with $7 million. Her friend, Karlie Kloss, is also able to land a place among the list at number eight spot with $5 million. Reality star Kendall Jenner, who took the fashion world by storm in the past year, came in at No. 16 with $4 million. She also got a contract with Estee Lauder. “With career earnings totaling over $430 million, the Brazilian bombshell has made more than any other model since 2002 and shows no signs of slowing down”, Forbes notes. At a nifty nineteen years of age, Kendall is living the high life.
