Another year, another top spot on Forbes's Top Paid Models list for Gisele Bündchen. The 36-year-old Brazilian supermodel leads the world's top-earning models, raking in $30.5 million last year. Newer It-girl models Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid also made the list—in third and fifth place, respectively—but Gisele has quite the track record when it comes to her payday. The legendary model has been the highest earner in the modeling world since 2002. (That's 14 consecutive years, for those of you counting.)
According to the annual list, the bona fide model has managed to hold down the top spot for over a decade thanks to major contracts with the likes of Chanel, Pantene, and Brazil's SkyTV. The veteran runway star out-earned fellow Brazilian model and the longest-running Victoria's Secret Angel, Adriana Lima, who came in second place by $20 million. Not too shabby for a girl who was once told she'd never be on a magazine cover. Congrats, Gisele!
