Gisele Bundchen Tops Forbes' Top Earning Supermodels List
Thursday, May 1st, 2008 around evening with martini & women in hand by Moe
Photo Credit: Flynet PicturesProps to Pstroyer for sending it in. It got caught in our spam, so excuse the delay in the post.
The highest-paid model said goodbye to Victoria's Secret in 2007, but still juggles 20 contracts. The 27-year-old continues to bag new contracts, noticeably with Pantene and a cosmetics giant yet to be named. Her face graces ads for Disney, Nivea, Vogue eyewear and Aquascutum, the U.K.-based luxury line. Her line of Grendene sandals, Ipanema by Gisele, banks her about $6 million a year. And her romance with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady keeps her in the tabloids--she even escaped being blamed for the Patriots' loss to the Giants. [Forbes]
Anyway, here's the full list for further discussion:
1. Gisele Bundchen- 35 Million (last year: 1st @ 33 Million)
2. Heidi Klum - 17 Million (last year: 3rd @ 8 Million)
3. Kate Moss - 7.5 Million (last year: 2nd @ 9 Million)
4. Adriana Lima - 7 Million (last year: 4th @ 6 million)
5. Doutzen Kroes - 6 Million (last year 14th @ $1.5 million)
6. Karolina Kurkova - 5 million (last year: 8th @ 3.5 Million)
7. Natalia Vodianova - 4.5 Million (last year: 7th @ 4.5 Million)
8. Carolyn Murphy - 4.5 Million (last year: 6th @ 5 Million)
9. Daria Werbowy - 3.8 Million (last year: 9th @ 3.5 Million)
10. Miranda Kerr - 3.5 Million (last year: unlisted)
11. Isabeli Fontana - 3 Million (tie) (last year: unlisted)
11. Gemma Ward - 3 Million (tie) (last year: 10th @ 3 Million)
12. Selita Ebanks - 2.7 Million (last year: unlisted)
13. Valentina Zelyaeva - 2.3 Million (last year: unlisted)
14. Hilary Rhoda - 2 Million (last year: 12th @ 2 million)

You wonder sometimes what people see in her, what a man face. She shouldn't have taken her implants out.

Why did you boldface Adriana Lima? :)
anyway, minor correction:
"15. Liya Kebede - $1.5 Million (last year: unlisted)"
should be
"15. Liya Kebede - 1.5 Million (last year: 11th @ 2.5 Million)
My bad.

Before everyone start saying she is fug and overrated
You should consider the fact that she is a topmodel+ a BUSINESSWOMAN the other women on the list are only topmodels that's why Giselle is the best paid the money is not only from modeling.
Reply to this Comment
Still the hottest and smartest model, which is a turn on. These dumb bitches get on my nerves. Miranda Kerr and Tyra Banks basically have the intellect off lab mice.
BlueElement2kReply to this Comment
Ya, I agree with #3. Many are just jealous that she is doin so well in her life.
Pamela Susan CoursonReply to this Comment
And in some photos she resembles Kate Moss. Maybe Giselle and that Kate Moss wannabe copycat Sienna Miller are tryin to be the next Kate.

Call me a dork, but when attractive women wear Rayban Wayfarers and Con All-Stars, I find it super hot.

I would have thought Bar Rafaeli would have made the list...

Heidi Klum is
Top model + Businesswoman + T.V. host
She has her own line of jewellery, line of clothes, line of perfume, she's the host of Germany's Next Top Model and the host of Project Runway. She's also learnt fluent English and maintained her career while raising three kids. Heidi Klum is by far the woman on this list who derserves the most respect when it comes to versatility.
pstroyerReply to this Comment
You're right pstroyer. She definitely has a head on her shoulders because she's still holding her own against much younger women.
I'm just shocked by Giseles payscale. I can only explain it the way someone here did once, that if the fashion industry wasn't run by gay men she wouldn't be making a dime. Man-jaw, beak nose and NO hips. None at all! How else can someone explain it?

NO HIPS!!!

bitch is a good businesswoman...yes, she is ugly but she surely knows how to use her "supermodel" label to make the most out of it

Don't worry Adriana, you'll always be number one on my list. That man-face Tom Brady cocksucker could never replace you.

what the hell?!..no Petra?!
Reply to this Comment
There is a big diference between being a model and a supermodel. The only supermodel nowadays is Gisele, she´s the last of the supermodels. The other on the list are topmodels. Ale and Petra are ordinary models, that´s why they aren´t on that list.
Reply to this Comment
Heidi Klum is making only 14 millions, huh.
And Alessandra is a top, she is on a break because of her pregnancy, that's all.
I can't believe Miranda Kerr is number 10. I mean, she is with Orlando Bloom but she really has a weird face.
Reply to this Comment
I bet Alessandra should be at least number 5.
The fact that she is pregnant does not change the fact that she earned a lot of money last year.
Maybe she made more money than Adriana Lima in 2007 (my favorite supermodel, btw)
I can't understand this list.
The list is ridiculous.

@ #4
you are so wrong!!!!!!!!!
omegaMiranda studied medicine and health in college.
Reply to this Comment
I think Ms. Ambrosio earned more money than Adriana and Kate Moss last year. VS, Armani and Next UK should be enough to put her in the 3th or 4th position.
Reply to this Comment
VS = USA; armani = USA; Next = UK.
Adriana have Maybelline, that is a Multi millionary contract, from around the WORLD. just for be a world contract, she get more money then the 3 contracts together of ale (ok, VS pay her a lot, but anyway)
Adriana have Multimillion contract with Maybelline and the second biggest VS contract. and her HUGE new campaign with Liverpool, in mexico. and her GQ cover, that had the record on GQ website. and she is more famous then man face alessandra, so adriana ALWAYS will be in front of ale.
:)
And Gisele, nobody will beat her on money. NEVER. she always will be the richest model. But she is not the most pretty, so who cares LOL
Reply to this Comment
Simply pathetic this list, no further comments, aside from one, Alessandra signed a 3 m per yr contract, so she should be featured on this list
Reply to this Comment
#12 My bad I forgot Heidi and shes on the list. I like Heidi
BlueElement2kReply to this Comment
Funny that Moe boldfaced Lima's name yet his precious Ambrosio is not even on the list.

#21 Just because you go to college doesn't necessarily mean you intelligent. I go to USC and as much as I love my school, This place is 40% dumb bitch.
Miranda Ker Wiki..........
"She graduated from All Hallows' School and planned to study nutrition before pursuing modeling."
The Key Word there is planned to study. When I was five I planned to be astronaut and a fish part time, but that never worked out.
BlueElement2kReply to this Comment
^^^^ um, like I was told 100 times on this site, Wiki isn't that reliable.
omegaIn an interview, she mentions she was studying health/medicine.
Reply to this Comment
Oh yeah and people never lie or embellish. What are you her P.R. Rep. What College? Could you honestly imagine Miranda Kerr as a doctor. My Aunt is a doctor she doesn't look much like Miranda Kerr. All Doctors could go either way modeling or work that matters.
http://teamsugar.com/group/916627/blog/1010552
This source says that she considered not finishing high school and modeling full time.
Previous post means nothing but interesting

I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH MIRANDA IN GUNNEDAH AND WHAT A BITCH,MIRANDA THOUGHT SHE WAS BETTER THEN US NORMAL PEOPLE...I WOULDN'T GIVE HER A SECOND LOOK Wednesday, March 7th, 2007 @ 1:21am
Reply to this Comment
^ Miranda said in an interview that she studied nutrition...i dont know anything else...but what was funny is when Ale said she wanna go to college and be a doctor someday LMFAO...can you imagine? i mean who says that? she is gonna sit on her ass, open a med book, study for hours without barely sleeping and do that shit for 10+ hrs when she already has millions...that is so insulting to pre-med students like me out there...everyone wishes they could be a doctor cuz it's so easy. god...they have no clue how hard that shit is but these days, everyone wanna be a doctor and claims to have studied medicine.
