Forbes Top Paid Models

Forbes just came out with their list of the world’s top earning models. As exciting as this list could be, it doesn’t vary much compared to last years. The same beauties rank in the same order with minor adjustments to their salaries. Could this be an influence of the recession taking a toll on the modeling industry? Absolutely.

Managing Director and Senior Vice President of IMG Models, Ivan Bart said, ‘Companies want to know that if they’re putting money behind a talent that she is recession-proof. We find that the experienced models continue to earn well.’ IMG Models represents the likes of Heidi Klum and Gisele Bundchen.
