This Year's Highest Earning Models Have All Made Stupid Amounts

There's a lot of high paying professions, with one of them being modelling.

It pays really well to have good looks, getting pictured all day. Then those photos all end up as posters in the rooms of 16-year-old boys, which tend to be littered with crusty socks and dodgy browsing history.

Forbes released its list of the highest paid models for 2016, and although we were aware they enjoy a tidy pay packet, some of these figures take the piss.

Cara Delevingne, who recently featured in Suicide Squad, is seventh in the list sitting with a toal of $8.5 million in earnings this year. She's the second most popular model on Instagram, with 33 million followers, so it's no surprise she's made a fuck load.

Gigi Hadid and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley came joint fifth with the same earnings of $9 million. With Hadid having a deal with Topshop, supplying clothes to just about every teen girl who's allowed to spend their parents' money, and Huntington-Whiteley, who has a lingerie line with Marks & Spencer, the pair pocketed a fair amount in 2016.

Cementing their places in the number three position (tied) is Kendall Jenner and Karlie Kross, earning $10 million each, and Adriana Lima coming in second with $10.5 million.

Claiming the top spot for earnings this year, however, with a monumental $30.5 million, is Gisele Bundchen, thanks to her deals with the likes of Chanel.

Sadly, none of them came close to absolutely ludicrous price tag Manchester United forked out for Paul 'I've got shite haircuts' Pogba.
