The world has been introduced to thousands of models throughout the past century, but some of them have made a bigger impact—and a bigger paycheck—than others. These are the world’s richest models:

  1. Adriana Lima

The 1990s section of the Australian all-star’s resume includes Cosmo, Elle, GQ, Harper’s Bazaar, and Vogue.
