The 33-year-old mother-of-two earned $42 million as combined from all of her profitable modelling contracts with H&M, Pantene, Oral-B and Sky HDTV and her role as the face of Chanel's 'Les Beiges' cosmetics line, to name a few. She is also a co-owner of Brazilian footwear company Grendene, and she's got her very own skin-care line called Sejaa.
According to Forbes, Bundchen's biggest source of income remains her merchandising partnerships, which include a lingerie line and multiple accessory collections. She gathered in almost six times more than former Victoria's Secret Angel Miranda Kerr, who landed second on the list with earnings of only $7.2million. It was also reported that she exceeded her footballer husband, Tom Brady, who earned $38 million dollars and only placed 11th.
While this may seem a totally big enough leap for her career, Bündchen's latest earnings don't quite match last year's total of $45 million, which is mainly due to the time she took her leave from the spotlight to give birth to her youngest daughter Vivian, her second child with NFL quarterback Tom Brady.
Other prominent figures in the list include British star Kate Moss, who is still earning a multimillion-dollar salary from her modelling contracts with Versace and Rimmel, to name a few, at the age of 39, and emerging Chinese superstar 25-year-old Liu Wen, who is the first Chinese model to star in a Victoria's Secret fashion show.
