Δείτε:Τα 19 πιο ακριβοπληρωμένα μοντέλα στον κόσμο και πόσα παίρνουν

To σούπερμοντελ Linda Evangelista είχε πει κάποτε: «Δεν σηκώνομαι από το κρεβάτι για λιγότερο από 10.000 δολάρια την ημέρα» και φαίνεται πως τίποτα δεν έχει αλλάξει από τότε στον κόσμο του μόντελινγκ.

Τα σύγχρονα μοντέλα μάλιστα έχουν τόση δύναμη που λαμβάνουν τεράστιους μισθούς για να συμμετέχουν σε μια και μόνο εκστρατεία.

Η Kendall Jenner, η ετεροθαλής αδερφή της Kim Kardashian, έχει γίνει ένα από τα υψηλότερα αμειβόμενα μοντέλα σε ένα μόλις χρόνο, χάρη στα εκατομμύρια των οπαδών της στα social media. Οι μάρκες γνωρίζουν ότι αν εκείνη βάλει μια φωτογραφία στο Instagram ή στο Twitter, η επωνυμία θα μπορούσε να πάρει περισσότερη έκθεση από αυτό που θα προσέφεραν οι παραδοσιακές διαφημίσεις.

Εν τω μεταξύ, η πασαρέλα για τη Victoria Secret δίνει στα μοντέλα μια τεράστια ώθηση στην καριέρα τους και τους αποφέρει μερικές από τις υψηλότερες αμοιβές στον κόσμο της μόδας.

Σύμφωνα με το περιοδικό Forbes για το διάστημα μεταξύ Ιουνίου 2014 έως Ιουνίου 2015, αυτά είναι τα πιο ακριβοπληρωμένα μοντέλα.

13. Kate Moss: $4.5 million (£2.8 million). The 41-year-old is one of the oldest models in the top-earners list, but she continues to pull in millions from big contracts with David Yurman, Decorté Skincare, and Burberry. She's also into her 14th year with Rimmel makeup.

12.Carolyn Murphy: 4,5 εκατ. δολ.

12.Carolyn Murphy: $4.5 million (£2.8 million). The 40-year-old is nearly double the age of many people on this list, but her wholesome all-American look books her massive campaigns with Estée Lauder, Ugg, and Oscar de la Renta.

11. Karlie Kloss: 5 εκατ. δολ.

11. Karlie Kloss: $5 million (£3.2 million). Taylor Swift's BFF has deals with L'Oréal, Joe Fresh, and Kate Spade after retiring her Angel wings at Victoria's Secret. Meanwhile she has teamed up with the Flatiron School to create a "Kode With Karlie" scholarship for young female coders.

8. Lara Stone: $5 million (£3.2 million). She was discovered at 12 years old in Paris and ended up becoming one of the highest-paid models in the world. She has contracts with L'Oréal cosmetics and Calvin Klein underwear, which led to this advert with singer Justin Bieber.

Delevingne made her name in high-fashion modelling, but her prolific social-media presence, with 19 million Instagram followers, 3.7 million Twitter followers, and 240,000 Facebook fans, helps her book contracts because of how much exposure a brand would get. She has modeled for DKNY and Burberry, but she's now moving into acting and will appear in the highly anticipated "Suicide Squad."

1. Gisele Bundchen: 44 εκατ. δολ.

Η Bundchen αποσύρθηκε φέτος από την πασαρέλα, αλλά βγάζει τα περισσότερα από τα χρήματά από τις συμβάσεις με τις Chanel και Carolina Herrera και από το σχεδιασμό των δικών της παπουτσιών για άλλες μάρκες.

1. Gisele Bundchen: $44 million (£28.2 million). Bundchen's earnings massively outstrip that of her younger peers and that of her American football-player husband, Tom Brady. Bundchen retired from the catwalk this year, but she makes most of her money from beauty and fragrance contracts with Chanel and Carolina Herrera and from designing her own shoes for other brands.
