Top Ten (10) Highest Paid Models In The World 2017

For the first time since 2002, Gisele Bündchen is no longer the highest-earning model. Kendall Jenner is. Forbes released its annual list of highest-paid models on Tuesday, and the results come as somewhat of a surprise considering the Brazilian model has held the top spot for nearly a decade and a half. Bündchen was dethroned by Jenner, who raked in US $22 million in 2017, as compared to the former Victoria’s Secret model’s US $17.5 million.

Do you ever wonder what goes on in the minds of others ☁️ Today I'm thinking about what confidence means to me. You can be contented with your current self and still seek to improve. Nothing is contradictory unless you choose to complicate – be at peace with yourself, love yourself ❤️ Have a good day! @rosiehw #love #sky #photooftheday #peace #amazing #sweet #follow4follow #like4like #glamour #instalike #lovely #picoftheday #model #confidence #instafollow #thoughts #sexy #beautiful #pretty #instagood #bestoftheday #instacool #babe #goals #follow #classy #smile #style #rosiehw #rosiehuntington
