Gisele Bundchen is about to become the absolute, unsurpassed record holder in the modeling business. This year, the Brazilian beauty for the ninth (!) Time was the leader of the rating "Highest paid models" according to Forbes. This has never been possible for anyone.

For the ninth year in a row, the top model makes millions and is not going to stop. According to Forbes, according to the results of this year, the star's revenues amounted to about $ 44 million, almost a third more than last year (35 million).

Recently, experts from the American Association of Accounting Professionals calculated the cost of one step for a top model on the catwalk, taking as an example the earnings of one of the highest paid fashion models in the world, Karlie Kloss. According to the AAT, 23-year-old Kloss is paid an average of $ 301 for one step up the catwalk. The accountants operated on the data on the supermodel's fee for one runway, which is $ 9325. The calculations also took into account the standard length of the podium - 30 meters.

Young and funny Cara Delevingne came in second with 9 million, followed by charming Brazilian Adriana Lima with the same amount of income. As the media remind, Lima is one of the "angels" of Victoria's Secret, and also advertises Marc Jacobs, H&M and Desigual, Delevingne collaborates with 13 brands, including DKNY, Burberry and Topshop, and also acts in films.

The fourth with $ 7.5 million was Doutzen Kroes, the face of the Tiffany & Co. jewelry company. Russian top model Natalia Vodianova closes the top five with 7 million. Today, Vodianova is the face of the Stella McCartney and Theory brands, and also collaborates with Calvin Klein and Guerlain.
