Jenner, 20-year-old member of reality TV's Kardashian family,
tied for third, up from 16th the prior year, and she was the
biggest gainer on the 2016 list. Her salary increased from $4
million in 2015 to $10 million in 2016 in part due to
partnerships with Estee Lauder and Calvin Klein, Forbes said.
Illinois native Karlie Kloss, 24, was also ranked third and
doubled her income to $10 million. The magazine said Kloss had
more campaigns than any other model on the list.
Bundchen, 35, has made more money than any other model since
2002 and continues to collect top dollar from endorsement deals
with Chanel, Carolina Herrera and Pantene.
Coming in second with $10.5 million was fellow Brazilian Adriana
Lima. The longtime Victoria's Secret model works with Maybelline
and IWC watches.
The highest-ranked of six newcomers on the list was Gigi Hadid
at fifth. Hadid has more than 22 million fans on Instagram, and
Forbes said brands like Maybelline and Tommy Hilfiger are eager
to reach her audience.
The 20 models earned a combined $150 million between June 1,
2015 and June 1, 2016. The results included income from
cosmetics, fragrance and other contracts and were based on
interviews with managers, agents and brand executives.
