Gisele Bündchen Is the Only Model to Grab a Spot on the 'Forbes' List of Highest-Paid Celebrities

Gisele Bündchen is the highest-earning model in the world by far.

All the talk that Gisele Bündchen was reportedly retiring from the runway—chatter that was eventually dismissed by her agent—hasn't hurt the supermodel's earnings at all, according to Forbes. The publication lists Bündchen in its annual list of the 100 top earning celebrities in the world. 

Bündchen appears as no. 46 in the rankings with her annual earnings pegged at a whopping $44 million. The profile notes that the supermodel's many ventures have catapulted her onto the list that doesn't feature a single other model. Bündchen has monstrous contracts with companies like Under Armour, Chanel, and Carolina Herrera. She also reaps profits from other smart business ventures, including sandals she designs for Brazil's Grendene and her own line of lingerie with Hope, called Gisele Bündchen Intimates. 

We already knew Bündchen was making a ridiculous amount of money, but this list proves that none of the Brazilian supermodel's peers are even in the same stratosphere as her.
