I think Candice is also in the running. They just love her at Victoria's Secret!

^ Probably a nice democratic way to decide the order I guess they get enough hits that it doesn't matter whose name they highlight.

A video interview of Kate and Chrissy Teigen from Swim Daily:

How about models you wish had taken a turn on the catwalk? I would have loved to see Gemma "Doll" Ward and Kate "Cool" Moss made up Victoria's Secret style! I guess it's never too late.

Jaime King has been captivating me recently She has such a "model face". Also her facial symmetry reminds me of Behati Prinsloo. Celebrity Ghost Stories video is great because it's basically a long close-up of her face (two options in case one of them doesn't work for some). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXfspA6ENxI

^ My thoughts exactly! In particular since she has already dipped her toe in the Japanese ad pool: I think that out of the young models she is definitely one of those who has potential to be some day in the Forbes list especially if she gets the "Angel contract".

Here is the full list:

I'm glad that Kate's career turned out this way because I remember being a little concerned for her for awhile there. The money is hard to resist but there is a risk of burning out if you do too many commercials. (That's why celebrities go to Japan to get big money.) The risk of selling out is naturally higher for actors etc. but even for models it can be bad if it lowers their brand value. It all worked out well for Kate in the end because she was able to transition to editorials and women's magazine covers and the commercials she did (not all bad by any means) were able to prove how many views she can get on Youtube and mentions on different sites which surely helped her secure her Superbowl commercial + teaser (a car ad meant for a younger generation). For longevity, it's better to hold out for bigger things instead of agreeing to advertise for all kinds of mundane products. If Linda Evangelista had churned out "Pizza Hut" commercials, she at 40 something years old would not have secured a big cosmetics contract. I think the numbers might be more accurate in regard to models who are directly involved in a business because then Forbes can access some company records and numbers whereas most models seem to have one on one contracts with clients and those numbers are more or less a ball park figure. PS. Karlie's Kookies is in part charity so I'm not sure to what extent it's a serious business vs. a passion and a hobby that is making money on the side.

Kate was once on a path of doing one random commercial after another but that seemed to change and she has gone for more editorial work. However, if she can get big movie money or a beauty contract who knows Frankly the whole Doutzen thing makes her big clients Victoria's Secret and L'Oreal look kinda bad. They used to take care of their girls and keep them at the top but now other models are passing by!

I've always wondered why these big companies with a lot of money budgeted for marketing don't hire more models that have been proven to be successful at selling products. At most, you'll find out 10 years later that chick from a hit TV show was doing a commercial way back when. I would think that there would be enough models willing to take the work because they aren't trying to win an Oscar. I guess many companies are very conservative and fear chancing advertising strategy. But if you ever want to beat Coca-Cola you gotta live large...

For me and probably to most people they are in the boring everyday product category. More companies should try to elevate these kinds of grocery store products. The fact that Miranda's Lipton ad was in Japan and Alessandra's campaign was in Brazil proves that they know it's not the most blue chip work and should be kept at arm's length.

Whaaaat I didn't know that about Alessandra XD XD Usually a model or an actress starts out doing those commercials and hopes to move up in the world. In a way it's cute that she loves to work. I gotta hand it out to those companies like Always and Lipton. If I had a less than top shelf product, I too would try to get a big model to be the face of it.

Yeah, I would love to know the "pure" modelling money. You don't see Heidi or Tyra on that list because it would be a little unfair to compare them with regular models. In my opinion, Gisele skates the line but she is doing a lot of traditional modelling so I guess that's why she can be put against models. Alessandra is a weird one for me also because in that article they write about Adriana: her supermodel seniority comes with a super-sized deal, and it’s more lucrative than any other current modeling contract in the company. Alessandra is also considered one of the big veterans and there was talk that she too was offered a massive VS beauty contract but who knows...

This was for the past 12 months, so miranda's VS contract and that other contract she was also dropped from counts here. Yes that's what I meant because even if she didn't perform like they hoped or for some other reason they didn't renew her contracts she still got paid enough to put her on this list. The future is naturally anyone's guess but if she continues on with Kora she could be earning even more next year. It's clear that Gisele's big lead comes from her having her own businesses and not just from fashion modelling. I meant that as in knocking someone like Doutzen out of the list.

I totally buy Miranda earning more than Adriana because she has equity. And even though she was dropped... she is laughing all the way to the bank as they say in situations like that. Candice's entry is interesting but since she is working a ton with Victoria's Secret she is obviously bringing in the results for the company which in turn means bonuses / options etc. in her favour.

I agree that Doutzen's name being missing is a little weird because they still had Candice. Usually, that list has included many Angels so I wonder if now they have gotten more accurate intel on the contracts and found out that the Angels aren't necessarily the queens of the paycheck anymore since there are other big contracts to be had like Estée Lauder. I bet being an Angel limits job possibilities in a way that a smart high fashion / commercial favorite can work the markets in a more lucrative way.

I'm most excited for Xenia Deli, Candice Boucher and Michelle Vawer. I wish Alicia Hall could make an appearance too! It would be cool to see more former SI models for SISA. Lucia Dvorska, Esti Ginzburg, Melissa Haro, Melissa Baker, Daniela Sarahyba, Jessica White, Tori Praver... Veronika Varekova would probably be too much to ask

Yeah, you can tell that Lily is a nice person by also watching her interviews because I don't remember seeing one where she was really off whereas with some girls there have been weird vibes once in awhile. I've also read some comments people have made about meeting models and while some girls seem to be polarizing like Behati, Magdalena etc. I have yet to see a bad review about Lily. Ale was recently with Miranda and I liked that since by then Miranda was not an Angel. Maybe there are more get-togethers but others just aren't documented like in Alessandra's or Miranda's case. But VS friendships are sometimes hard to figure out because I wouldn't have guessed that Doutzen and Candice would hang out together outside of work if it weren't for those Miami beach pictures. I don't think they were 100 % on a paparazzi stroll because Candice was also interacting with Doutzen's son.

I would give the best friend award to Lily. She seems to be friendly with everyone from Alessandra and Miranda to Adriana and Candice. Erin is the godmother to her child. And she doesn't just live in the VS bubble since she was recently hanging out with Kate Upton

Does this inspiration picture from SwimDaily make anyone else think that Barbara might be a contender for the issue?

Funny how opinions differ even when it comes to how cute a child appears because I've seen some pictures of Alessandra's kid and she has always looked so expressive and cute whereas Adriana's child seldom made me go aww. (I'm not really a child person.) Baby pictures were adorable though as it always is when there is interaction between the mother and a child and both are happy. I hope the children will grow up healthy and gorgeous in their own right because Adriana is such an exceptional beauty I don't think it can ever be recreated. Magic happened when Adriana's parents got together but I think even if she had a sister it would be pretty unlikely to have two equally stunning girls.

^ I noticed the same thing happen when she was with Candice and Alessandra so I think Victoria's Secret needs to do a social experiment and have Karlie be the first girl from the side the fans are coming in to take a picture. If the fans still move over to stand between the other two models, we have a major problem. And Erin was so half-assed in the end XD
