Gisele Bundchen is the world's highest-paid model for the eighth year in a row.
The Brazilian beauty, 34, is reported to have earned $47m last year to top Forbes magazine's annual list, thanks to her contracts with Chanel, H&M, Carolina Herrera and her deal with footwear company Grendene, for whom she designed a range of jelly shoes.
Adriana Lima and Doutzen Kroes took joint second place, raking in around $8m each, while the oldest model on the list, Kate Moss, 40, came in third place, along with Miranda Kerr, curvy Kate Upton and Liu Wen, who all took home around $7m.
