Renowned Brazilian model Gisele Bündchen becomes world's highest paid model in 2016. (facebook.com/Gisele/File)

a href="http://www.forbes.com/pictures/emjl45efhmi/the-worlds-highest-paid/#458a6271bf86">Forbes just released their list of the world’s highest paid models for this year and guess who made it on top? No other than Giselle Bundchen at (a very cool) $30.3 million and has been dominating the list since 2002. Not bad for someone who just recently retired. The next gal is Adriana Lima with $10.5 million (notice the $20 million income gap.) But coming up the ranks real quick is Kendall Jenner and Karlie Kloss tied in third, both earning $10 million each.
Kendall was previously at number 16 and has been catching up real fast in just a year. On the other hand, Karlie also doubled her income since last year. Another gal who’s been doing well even after retirement is Cara Delevingne who stands at $8.5 million. New models seen on the list were Gigi Hadid and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, both at $9 million, along with Victoria’s Secret angels Jasmine Tookes, Lily Aldridge, Taylor Hill (youngest in the ranking!), and Barbara Palvin all at $4 million. Not too bad, huh?
