The World's Most Successful Male Models

In Pictures: The World's 10 Most Successful Male Models
Quick, name one male model. Sorry, Fabio doesn't count.
Can't do it? No surprise. Male models, even the few who work at the top of the fashion industry, are unknown to the general public. Unlike their female counterparts, they don't host television shows or represent multi-billion dollar lingerie companies. They also don't bank millions of dollars. (See: "The World's Top-Earning Models." )
"It's the only industry in the world where women make more than men," says John W. Babin, co-director of the men's division at Red Model Management. A lot more. Female models command two to three times the rate of male models for the same work.
In Pictures: The World's 10 Most Successful Male Models
The most successful male models earn in the mid-six-figure range, maxing out around $500,000 a year. Still, for those who pay attention, male models are the faces and bodies of esteemed brands worldwide.
To rank the models on our list, we combined advertising campaigns, editorial work and runway experience over the last two seasons, giving special consideration to prominence and scope where relevant. Given the metrics, the list favors of-the-moment male models, not the established industry veterans.
At the top of the list is Taylor Fuchs, who's been in the industry less than two years. Fuchs stands out with his long list of catwalk crossings and high-profile campaigns such as Dolce & Gabbana and Gianfranco Ferré.
Mathias Lauridsen may be No. 2 on our list, but he's been in the industry much longer than Fuchs. After nearly five years, he has managed to stay on top by lending his face--with its signature scar across the left cheekbone--to lucrative contracts like spring's Gucci fragrance campaign.
Most successful male models balance runways shows, commercial catalogs, advertising campaigns and editorial opportunities. Fragrance and exclusive designer advertising campaigns are the most lucrative. High-end catalog photo shoots pay an average of $8,000-$15,000 per day and typically last one day.
For models rising up the ranks, most work pays in prestige and non-monetary perks. An editorial shoot may earn a model up to $150, but working with a prominent photographer, padding a portfolio and exposure in a well-respected magazine is worth more than cash. Runway shows, especially with up-and-coming designers, often pay in clothes that can be very useful in castings.
Past male models who have come close to supermodel status, such as Mark Vanderloo and Marcus Schenkenberg in the early 1990s, were of the "Ken doll" ideal. Soon after, a Brazilian-Cuban trend entered thanks in part to Bruce Weber, the photographer responsible for the iconic Calvin Klein advertisements. Grunge followed. Since then, a "healthier" male standard has returned, though the look varies from label to label.
High-profile advertisement campaigns don't feature the "skateboarding kids that were used in the past," says Gene Kogan of DNA Model Management. "There's more respect for the consumer." Since mature, male consumers are the major spenders, advertising and editorial has shifted to appeal to them.
Still, opportunities for male models are declining as the retail industry contracts. Ten years ago, male models had catalog work from regional department stores like Marshall Field's, Kaufmann's, Hecht's and Hudson's. In 2005, all of them were acquired and re-branded into the singular retail behemoth Macy's (nyse: M - news - people ).
Then there's the rise of celebrity culture. Male models now battle with male celebrities for editorial work once models' private domain. Since 2000, just one male model was on the cover of GQ. Female models were on seven covers, and male celebrities were on over 70 covers. Male models have been relegated to magazines such as such as Numéro Homme, i-D and VMan--outside the mainstream and catering to an edgier audience.
Still, says Kogan, there's hope. "The growth in men's magazines attests to the fact that more men are buying clothes and beauty products,” he says. 'Over time, as the spending by the male sector broadens, [the business] will improve."

Myf Shepherd a hit for battling fashion week
MYF Shepherd usually gets out of bed for up to $10,000 a day, but the Queensland-born supermodel is returning home at cut-price mates' rates to inject some much-needed glamour into Australian Fashion Week.
Shepherd, who modelled in a remarkable 62 shows in Paris, Milan and New York in February, will be a publicity saviour for fashion week, which is struggling to attract as many high-profile designers as usual due to tough economic times.
The feline-eyed brunette will fit in several fashion week shows during her return home to celebrate her 18th birthday.
"She'll do a select number of shows," said Chic Model Management head Kathy Ward, whose agency represents Shepherd in Australia.
"A lot of Australian designers can't afford to pay a lot of money, so she'll do anything from $1000 to $2000 per show, which is nothing compared with what she gets overseas."
Prada, Lanvin, Givenchy and Marc Jacobs are among the 62 shows Shepherd modelled in for their autumn-winter collections, following her discovery by Chic when she was shopping in Brisbane about two years ago.

Valentina!Forbes' List of the World's Highest-Paid Models, 2013

The World's Highest-Paid Models, 2013: Gisele's Earnings Down, Kerr's Are Up
Success as a model requires flawless genes and a lot of luck. The 10 women on FORBES’ list of highest-paid models have something else, too: business sense
forbes.com
Take Gisele Bündchen, who leads the pack for the seventh year in a row with $42 million in earnings, seven times as much as second-place Miranda Kerr (and a bit more than quarterback husband Tom Brady’s $38.3 million).
Bündchen’s earnings may be off $3 million from last year’s total, but the 33-year-old Brazilian has enjoyed a sharp rise in fortune since 2009, when she led the list with $25 million. This is in part due to her successful partnership with Grendene, the Brazilian footwear company, in which she owns a stake.
Since 2012, Grendane’s shares have more than doubled, pushing its valuation to a five-year high. The supermodel mom makes millions from her eco-friendly cosmetics company, Sejaa, and multi-year contracts with international campaigns like Pantene, Oral-B and Sky HDTV.
Our earnings estimates are based on editorial shoots, independent licensing ventures, spokesperson gigs and contracts from beauty and fashion companies from June 2012 to June 2013.
Kerr pulled in $7.2 million in the 12 months ending in June, leaping up the rankings from No. 7 last year, when she earned $4 million. The Australian model first strapped on a pair of Victoria’s Angels wings in 2007. Now, at 30, she’s expanded her portfolio with contracts with Quantas, David Jones and Mango. Like Bündchen and many other models on our list, Kerr is trying to cash in on booming markets outside of the States. In Asia, the launch of her skincare line, Kora, and deals to pitch Lipton Tea and P&G detergent brand Bold helped her move up our list this year.
“Because international exposure is so much greater in value, there’s been this sudden shift in the industry where models are all finding ways to expand their brands and partnerships. It’s a smart business model for them,” says Ed Razek, president and chief marketing office of Limited Brands, Victoria’s Secret’s parent company.
Victoria’s Secret still cultivates much of the top echelon of talent in the modeling business. Six of the 10 women on this year’s list either have Angel contracts, or have appeared in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Once known for handing out outsized contracts, Victoria’s Secret has ratcheted back over the years, and multi-year agreements have become a rarity.
“Our contracts are based on the way senior business leaders are paid, which is on incentive compensation. So it’s in the best interest of our business, and in the best interest of these models to perform at the highest level possible that they possibly can,” said Razek.
To be sure, the lingerie retailer isn’t struggling in the least bit. In spring of 2012, Victoria’s Secret reported $542 million in operating income, and $655 million in the fall, totaling $1.2 billion (which was 70% of Limited Brands’ $1.7 billion in operating income). The company pays models less simply because it can — the prestige of being an Angel is rich compensation by itself. Similarly, gigs with hot names like Prada or Fendi don’t pay much, but models can cash in by landing other campaigns through the increased exposure.
Adriana Lima‘s earnings dropped from $7.3 million last year to $6 million, but she still moved up one spot in our ranking to No. 3. Lima has been with Victoria’s Secret since 2000, making her the longest-running Angel. No surprise, her supermodel seniority comes with a super-sized deal, and it’s more lucrative than any other current modeling contract in the company. Most of Lima’s earnings come from her deal with the lingerie retailer.
Of course, an Angel contract isn’t the be-all-and-end-all of fashion. The wingless Kate Moss (No. 7) still managed to pull in $5.7 million, though she took a $3.5 million plunge from last year, when she ranked second. But at 39, the neo-hippie waif can still rock the bad-girl image while maintaining her title as fashion’s most in-demand supermodel, holding multi-year Vogue eyewear contract, deals with Versace and Rimmel. Moss will also be posing nude for Playboy to celebrate her 40th birthday, according to reports.
“Kate still has enormous international presence,” said Ivan Bart, senior vice president and managing director of IMG models, the New York-based modeling agency that represents Moss. “She’s still doing a lot of modeling and business around the world, and she’s got a number of English and European associations.”
Some new faces on the list this year are Liu Wen and Joan Small. Wen (No. 5), who hails from China, raked in $4.3 million over the past year through deals with blue-chip brands Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss and Estée Lauder. The 25-year-old turned heads when she became the first Chinese model to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. But what truly makes Wen watch-worthy is her potential to cash in on her home country’s exploding fashion market, which is expected to triple in size to $200 billion by 2020.
The Puerto Rican model Smalls (No. 8) became the first Latina ambassador for Estée Lauder in 2010 and has since filled her client list with big names: Victoria’s Secret, H&M, Fendi and Givenchy. “A model of color selling luxury products makes a huge statement. Increasingly, brands are trying to connect with consumers by incorporating diversity into their image, and someone like Joan relates well to the key demographics that advertisers really want to reach,” said Bart, whose agency also represents Smalls.
Some likely candidates to make the list next year: Karlie Kloss, the newest addition to Victoria’s Secret’s lineup, and Kate Upton, the commercial-turned-editorial bombshell who Vogue recently deemed “the hottest supermodel on Earth.” Doutzen Kroes and Alessandra Ambrosio, who dropped off the list this year, could make a comeback.

Doutzen got multi year/million contract with: Victoria's Secret, Loreal, Repeat Cashmere, H&M, Tiffany & Co.
+ She did campaigns for Miu Miu, Bruno Magli, Equipment.

Doutzen not being on the list stuck out to me. Alessandra, who is with DNA too, not being on the list also stuck out to me, although I can see her just missing the cut off. Even though Hilary got a few campaigns, I also was a little surprised to see her make the list and not Constance, and Constance is also a DNA model.
IMG definitely cooperates with them and provides them information, all but three models on the list are IMG models. Granted IMG is a powerhouse but I still think that it is skewed a little towards them.
ETA:
Didn't she also work with Colcci in the past year, or no?

Not to mention Karlie Kloss, especially with all her side projects.
Joan Smalls and Liu Wen are the odd ones out in this list. I really doubt they make so much money, and I definitely doubt they make more money then some of the models left out.
What I think, is that Forbes wanted a "fresh" list, because honestly the list is practically the same every year.
I'm highly doubting the accuracy of this year's list.

This list is quite funny to be honest. I can't believe Natalia, Doutzen or Alessandra aren't there, also Kate Upton to be honest. Natalia Vodianova last year was the 3rd most paid model in the world with 8,6 Million and this year she hadn't at least $3,2 million? ahahah quite funny 
I agree with @anlabe32 about Forbes wanting a fresh list because there aren't other reasons on how fake is this list
