Every year Forbes releases its list highest paid models. Almost a third of it this year is occupied by newcomers, including three Victoria’s Secret “angels”: Lily Aldridge, Jasmine Tux and the youngest of the “angels” 20-year-old Taylor Hill.
In general, the Victoria’s Secret “angels” make up 30% of the world's highest paid models, thanks in part to their lucrative underwear contracts.
But who got into the top ten most profitable conquerors of world catwalks.
Miranda Kerr

The Australian model became popular in 2007, thanks to a partnership with the popular Victoria’s Secret brand.
Currently, Miranda is engaged to Evan Spiegel, one of the richest people in the world, although she herself is a materially enviable bride. Kerr has its own cosmetics line, Kora Organics.
