The Brazilian supermodel strutted past the likes of Kate Moss, who came in at No.2, Heidi Klum, who placed third on the list, and Australian Gemma Ward, who came in at No.10.
Bundchen, 26, parted ways with Victoria’s Secret in May and will see her lucrative contract with the lingerie brand expire at the end of the year.
Still, she boasts “more contracts than any other model on the planet,” Forbes.com said, and has appeared in campaigns for high-end brands including Apple, Dolce & Gabbana and Roberto Cavalli.
Moss, who recently launched a clothing line at British fashion retailer Topshop, ranks second with $US9 million ($10.3 million). The 33-year-old fashion icon is the new face of fashion label Stella McCartney and Italian sportswear company Belstaff.
Klum, 34, placed third with $US8 million ($9.1 million). She is a Victoria’s Secret spokesmodel and host of the US TV show “Project Runway”.
Two more Victoria’s Secret beauties — Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio — rounded out the top five with $US6 million ($6.8 million) each.
Ward was ranked in 10th position with $US3 million ($3.4 million).
In ranking these catwalkers, Forbes.com said editors also factored in a model’s “relevancy” — determined by recent campaigns, fashion magazine covers and opinions of those in the fashion industry — where necessary.
