Gisele Bundchen Tops Forbes’s Top-Earning Model List for Sixth Consecutive Year in 2010

Gisele is N1 top model

Forbes just released their yearly list of top-earning models: Gisele Bundchen holds the top spot — which she’s had for at least six years now — with $25 million in estimated earnings from June 2009 to June 2010.

In fact, there hasn’t been a lot of movement in the list in the past year — for 2010, the top ten is exactly the same for the second year in a row, with the exception of Natalia Vodianova moving up from seventh position to tie Alessandra Ambrosio in sixth place. Same goes for earnings — not a lot of change: Bundchen, Heidi Klum, Doutzen Kroes, Natalia Vodianova, Daria Werbowy are all estimated to be pulling in the same amount this year as they did last year, with the rest of the top ten’s earnings only going up or down by half a million. Miranda Kerr is the only exception — she gained the most year over year, earning $4 million this year versus $3 million last year.

The full 2010 list, with last year’s rank and estimated 2009 earnings in parentheses:

Gisele Bundchen, $25m (1 — $25m)

Heidi Klum, $16m (2 — $16m)

Kate Moss, $9m (3 — $8.5m)

Adriana Lima, $7.5m (4 — $8m)

Doutzen Kroes, $6m (5 — $6m)

Alessandra Ambrosio, $5.5m (6 — $6m)

Natalia Vodianova, $5.5m (7 — $5.5m)

Daria Werbowy, $4.5m (8 — $4.5m)

Miranda Kerr, $4m (9 — $3)

Carolyn Murphy, $3.5m (10 — $3m)
