This is how much the Victoria’s Secret models earn

When I see all these numbers, I spontaneously want to run to my gym and do nothing else for the rest of the day than abdominal exercises and squats. Holy, those amounts can add up to gigantic figures when you work for Victoria’s Secret. Okay, these ladies might be the top of the bill when it comes to top models in 2017, but still. This is what you can earn when you have to walk down a runway of a few meters in underwear with fake wings. Here by the way, more facts about Victoria’s Secret that you probably didn’t know. Anyways, time for the numbers: here are the nine highest-paid VS models.

9. Taylor Hill – $1.4 million

At number nine, we find the twenty-one-year-old American beauty Taylor, who walked her very first Victoria’s Secret show in 2014 and received the title of VS Angel just a year later. The paycheck she received? A four with a lot of zeros behind it.

8. Jasmine Tookes – $1.4 million

The same amount is earned by the twenty-five-year-old Jasmine, who has been participating in the shows since 2012 and was officially crowned as an Angel in 2015.

7. Lily Aldridge – $1.4 million

A sort of VS veteran, because you’ve been spotting Lily on the annual VS runway since 2009 and you also see her in their campaigns.

6. Joan Smalls – $1.45 million

Joan was the first Latina (she is from Puerto Rico) to sign with the company in 2011 and in 2012 she was even named the best model in the world on models.com.

5. Alessandra Ambrosio – $1.5 million

Even more of a veteran than Lily, because Alessandra has been part of the shows since 2004. The model has now hit thirty-six, but she is still found toned every year on that infamous runway.

4. Liu Wen – $1.7 million

The Chinese Liu was the first Asian model to participate in the shows and since 2009 she has been admired in the most over-the-top lingerie sets.

3. Gigi Hadid – $1.9 million

She may have only participated twice, but the twenty-one-year-old Gigi has already managed to earn quite a bit with Victoria’s Secret. (Did you know that Gigi has a Dutch doppelgänger ?)

2. Kendall Jenner – $10 million

And Gigi’s best friend is also doing quite well. She even earns a million more than her counterpart.

1. Adriana Lima – $10.5 million

Finally, the lady who rakes in the most cash, she is the lady who has been participating the longest. Since 1999, the Brazilian beauty has been part of the VS family and is also their highest-paid model ever.
