It may be younger newbies like Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid who are currently earning big bucks as the world’s highest-paid models, but runway legends from the past remain the richest.

So, who are the world’s wealthiest runway queens in 2023? Here’s how these gorgeous ladies stack up this year, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

During her 17 years as a Victoria’s Secret Angel (2000-2017), Brazilian Alessandra Ambrosio quickly became a household name across the globe, bagging campaigns for the likes of Ralph Lauren, Christian Dior and Armani.

After retiring from modelling, she became a regular on the reality TV circuit, appearing on shows like America’s Next Top Model, Project Runway and MasterChef. In 2019, Ambrosio launched beachwear brand Gal Floripa with her sister Aline and long-time friend, Gisele Cória.

Sharing the ninth and 10th spot with Ambrosio is none other than Naomi Campbell – one of the most celebrated models in the business, but also one of the most controversial. After being discovered at the age of 15, Campbell’s career went from zero to a hundred overnight, landing the cover of British Elle before she even turned 16.

Since then, she’s done it all – from writing a novel to acting and producing, but it’s often been her temper and legal issues that have kept her in the spotlight. Fortunately, despite all the fines and lawyers’ fees she’s had to settle in the past, she’s still worth an impressive US$80 million.
