Miranda Kerr may be the biggest supermodel in the world in many people's eyes, but the 31-year-old was pipped to the post by Gisele Bundchen, Adriana Lima and Doutzen Kroes this year, coming third in Forbes magazine's highest paid model in the world list.
Miranda ended up joint third, alongside busty model Kate Upton, Kate Moss and Liu Wen, each of them earning a whopping $7 million a year. Alright for some, eh?
Adriana and Doutzen both earnt around $8 million, leaving them in joint second place, with Gisele flying high at the top spot, bagging a massive $47million. Quite a difference there!

Gisele has managed to stay at number one for eight consecutive years now in the Forbes poll, with her having contracts with H&M, Chanel and Carolina Herrera, to name just a few.

According to Forbes, the Brazilian supermodel has earned a super impressive $386 million from her modelling career since 2001 and made around $16 million more than her other half, Tom Brady, last year. The couple have two children - son Benjamin and daughter Vivian - together.

Others to round off the top 5 are Alessandra Ambrosio and Hilary Rhoda, who both came in joint fourth place, earning $5 million each, and Natalie Vodianova, Carolyn Murphy, Karlie Kloss and Jourdan Dunn, who each earnt around $4 million, leaving them in fifth place.

While she might appear to be everywhere, Cara Delevingne hasn't managed to make the list, but fellow Brit model Jourdan Dunn has, slipping in at the bottom at number 10. Cara's been concentrating on her acting career over the last 12 months and trying out some musical numbers, so perhaps that's why she's not featuring in the list. The top British earner remains Miss Kate Moss, who came in at joint-third with namesake Kate Upton. When will the 40 year-olds reign come to an end?
