Kendall Jenner is the highest paid model in the world with £18m fortune, beating Karlie Kloss, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Gigi Hadid

The 23-year-old, who's the second youngest sister in the Kardashian klan, earned an estimated £18million between June 2017 and this year. Here's who else made Forbes' 2018 rich list…

1. Kendall Jenner: £18m

Her little sister Kylie, 21, may have pocketed £132.7 million last year, but Kendall's catwalk earnings are not to be scoffed at.

Kendall raked in the cash with contracts from Estee Lauder, Adidas and Calvin Klein – and leads the way by quite some stretch compared to her fellow models.

She is one of the top 15 celebs followed on Instagram and also stars in Keeping Up With The Kardashians, obvs.

2. Karlie Kloss: £10.3m

This is the highest salary to date for model turned coding advocate Karlie, 26.

She scored lucrative deals with Swarovski, Adidas and as the global spokesmodel for Estee Lauder this year – and used her presence to found Kode with Klossy, a charity which aims to teach girls the basics of computer programming.

Back in October, Karlie confirmed she's stepping into Heidi Klum's well-heeled shoes as the host of Project Runway.

3. Chrissy Teigan: £9m

Former Sports Illustrated model Chrissy, 33, is now a huge name in America.

The mum-of-two, who is married to singer John Legend, 39, currently co-hosts the popular Lip Sync Battle and is the food stylist on Tyra Banks' show FABLife.

She also launched her own clothing line with Revolve in October last year and a cookware range with Target earlier this year.

Popularity on social media (she has 21.3million followers on Instagram) has allowed her to boost her salary this year.

3. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: £9m

Brit model Rosie, 31, branched out from her popular M&S line to launch her own beauty website, Rose Inc, this year.

The mum-of-one, who's married to Jason Statham, 51, has now appeared on the Forbes list for three years running.

5. Gisele Bundchen: £8m

Gisele, 38, has featured on the list since 2004.

The mum-of-two, who's married to American footballer Tom Brady, 41, has appeared in more than 550 ad campaigns, 2,000 mag covers and 800 fashion shows during her career.

She last walked the runway for the opening of the Rio 2016 Olympics, in her native Brazil.

5. Cara Delevingne: £8m

Londoner Cara, 26, returned to the runway for Balmain's A-list Paris Fashion Week show back in September, marking one of only a handful of times she's walked since 2015.

She's making most of her money from acting these days, although her last movie Valerian flopped.

She'll next be on-screen in Amazon Prime series Carnival Row.

7. Gigi Hadid: £7.5m

It's been a busy year for Gigi, 23, who's modelled for Valentino, Moschino, Versace and Fendi.

She appeared on multiple Vogue covers, rocked the Victoria's Secret runway and recently announced her first collaboration with Reebok.

8. Bella Hadid: £6.8m

Gigi's little sis Bella, 22, follows closely behind thanks to campaigns with Fendi, Moschino, Zadig & Voltaire, DKNY and TAG Heuur.

She set a new record for the most September Vogue covers in one year – and also did the VS lingerie show.

8. Joan Smalls: £6.8m

This year Joan, 30, has made her millions as the face of the new Moschino fragrance, Fresh Couture, as well as several big brand runway shows.

She was the first Puerto Rican model to front advertising campaigns for dozens of brands and will be a guest judge on RuPaul's Drag Race next year.

10. Doutzen Kroes: £6.4 million

Doutzen, 33, returns to the rankings after a year's hiatus, thanks to lucrative contracts with L'Oreal and Piaget.

After venturing into acting, she starred in both Wonder Woman and Justice League last year.

In more fashion news, Holly Willoughby's stylist Angie Smith revealed she ‘takes headless selfies’ to see if an outfit looks good – and thinks skinny jeans should be banned.
