Gisele Bündchen: Forbes’ Highest-Paid Latina Model

Posted on November 22, 2017 by Tom Castaneda

She may not top the list, but Gisele Bündchen is still on top…

After 15-years as the world’s highest-paid model, the 37-year-old Brazilian supermodel drops to No. 2 on Forbes’ yearly list of the highest-paid models, behind Kendall Jenner.

But Bündchen is still standing tall, as the high-ranking Latina on the list, with earnings totaling $17.5 million.

Despite retiring from the runway in 2015, she still makes millions from contracts, including a lucrative fragrance deal with Carolina Herrera, as well as campaigns for Arezzo shoes and Vivara jewelry in her native country.

Bündchen has appeared on more than 1,200 magazine covers in her two-decade career, and she earned more money than any other model between 2002 – 2016.

The only other Latina in the Top 10, Bündchen’s compatriot Adriana Lima.

The 36-year-old Brazilian supermodel, the longest-running Angel in Victoria’s Secret history, comes in at No. 4 with earnings of $10.5 million.

Lima first strutted her stuff for Victoria’s Secret in 2000. Her seniority earns her a supersized deal with the lingerie maker.

She’s also the face of Sportmax and Marc Jacobs fragrances, and she hosts the hair and makeup competition show American Beauty Star on Lifetime.

Adriana Lima is heading to the Olympics…

NBC has hired the 35-year-old Brazilian model and her compatriot and fellow Victoria’s Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio to appear on the network’s late-night coverage of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio.

Lima and Ambrosio will appear primarily on Ryan Seacrest‘s after-hours show, which will be largely human-interest and entertainment based.

The bombshells will serve as NBC’s food and culture correspondents for the 2016 Rio Games.

“Adriana and Alessandra are the perfect ambassadors to guide viewers through the celebrations taking place outside of the competition, showcasing the off the field experience for Olympic fans,” said NBC Olympics executive producer Jim Bell in a press release.

Olympics coverage typically straddles the line between sports news and entertainment, with the expansion into the celebrity space coming into play to appeal to a broader audience beyond traditional sports fans, as well as fill 6,755 hours of coverage.
