The real list:

1- Gisele Bundchen
2- Heidi Klum
3 and 4 - Alessandra Ambrosio and Kate Moss (or the contrary)
5 - Adriana Lima (the hottest woman nowadays)

Next year, I am sure Adriana Lima will be top 3.

Alessandra and Adriana are the hottest supermodels.

Adriana had a bad year last year and still she was placed 4th while Alessandra placed 5th. Adriana has had a very good year this year and Alessandra has been pregnant -- so it's hard to see how Alessandra would place higher than Adriana this year. In fact, Alessandra has never placed higher than Adriana on Forbes. I still think it's weird she's not on the list though.

Also, Adriana has been in the top 3 before and I expect her to topple Kate Moss next year again.

Yes, I am sure Adriana will be placed higher than Kate Moss next year.
She deserves to be number 1 in my opinion coz she is the most interesting supermodel.
I just think Alessandra earned more money than Adriana last year.

last year Adriana did have a bad year
Ale had a pretty good year
they earned about the same, maybe Ale had a little more.
but because adriana resigned her contracts with an extra million
she is higher now.

how was lima ever in the top 3?
with Kate, Heidi, Tyra, Gisele, how was Adriana ever in the top 3.

she only started making the forbes lists in 2005
and that was when Tyra, Heidi, Gisele and Kate were ALL modeling.

I meant lima had bad years 2006-2007.
In 2008, she is doing much better now.

Didn't she place #3 behind Gisele and Moss on the 2006 list?

I think Adriana has potencial to be in the second place. She just has to work on her english and diversify her skills and business.

What do these chicks actually do?
Imagine getting paid $3.5 million dollars for splashing around in the ocean and flying all over the world?
Seriously though....It's ridiculous when an environmental enginneer is making 60 grand a year and VS models are just raking in cash....And for what really?
At least athletes and movie stars are a bit entertaining.

Yup, can't argue with that. But I can comfort you by saying it was even worse in the 1990s. I think supermodels were raking in a lot more back then. Overall anyway. Gisele being the exception.

Yeah she looked great here, still does look great...not muscular, maybe a small bit in her arms, but she has a personal trainer so you'd expect her to tone up a bit...

@18 ( just checked with Forbes)
the first time lima made the highest paid supermodel list was in 2007 for what she earned in 2006 which was 6 million she placed fourth.

she did how made celebrity lists and highly paid young people list in 2006 for what she made in 2005 which was 4 million.

Ale tied lima in the 2007 for what they earned in 2006 which was 6 million.

lima's highest place was 4 th ( behind Gisele, Kate, and Heidi)
Ale highest place was 5 th

she could be 3rd in the future though.

She is hot here without a doubt, but I think she looks just as good if not better now. I like the toned look, it makes her look healthy.

omega,

Do you have the list from 2006? Not the one released in 2007 or 2008 (in which she made 4th both), but the one released in 2006? I'm pretty sure there was a list in 2006 in which she made 3rd behind Gisele and Kate...

"Adriana Lima is currently the third highest paid model in the world (behind Gisele Bundchen and Kate Moss). According to Forbes, she earned $4.5 million in 2005."

If you search on Google, several sources report this and that only adds to my suspicion.

I can't seem to find it on Forbes right now though. I don't know if they still have their 2006 list online somewhere (the one RELEASED in 2006, based on 2005 earnings).

@29
I find a hard time believing that because in 2005
Gisele got 5 million from VS
Tyra got 3.5 million from VS
and lima got 2 million from VS
plus heidi got (3-3.5)million from VS

plus that means in 2005 if she earned 4.5mill then 2006 only earned 4.0million, she obviously lost 500,000 dollars somewhere during that year

I am pretty sure she was 4th.

@ pstroyer
she made a celebrity list RELEASED IN 2006, BASED ON WHAT SHE MADE IN 2005.

it said she made exactly 4 million.
here
http://www.forbes.com/celebrities/forbes/2006/0703/131.html

says she only made 4 million in 2005

That's the Celebrity 100 list, I'm talking about Highest Earning Models list.

Search for "Adriana third highest" on Google. Many sources report it. And I remember seeing the list myself.

4.5 million after Gisele and Kate.

Then the year after she dropped to 4 million and 4th place.

Look when it comes to money, Forbes is the tops, in 2005

Gisele made 30 mill
Kate made 8 mill
Heidi made 7 mill
Tyra made 18 mill
Adriana made 4-4.5 million

which makes her 5th, Forbes reported all their earning on this list
http://www.forbes.com/celebrities/forbes/2006/0703/131.html
the list may not be called "highest paid models" but the numbers are accurate.

I search what you said "adriana third highest"

I got exactly what you said
"She earned $4.5 million in 2006 according to Forbes."

this was IN 2006 making her 4th

Friday, May 2nd, 2008 @ 11:51pm
Reply to this Comment

yea, but Tyra officially retired from modeling in May 2005 (even though she did one last runway for VS in late 2005) so she wouldn't have been on a highest earning models list released in 2006. And Heidi might have appeared lower because she earned the majority of her money from her business ventures, not modeling. In fact, I'm not sure she did much modeling at all that year.

There's too many sources backing up what I'm saying for it to simply be a figment of my imagination, methinks.

Maybe there wasn't a Highest Paid Models list in 2006 based on 2005?

But when I write -"adriana lima" third highest- in google and go through the pages, there's page after page saying "adriana lima is currently third highest paid model in the world according to Forbes (behind Gisele Bundchen and Kate Moss) and so on. It's kinda weird. But maybe one page got it wrong and then the error spread. Shrugs. I'm confused now. I need someone who has better long-term memory than me to clarify lol.

In 2005...

You're right. It doesn't matter. But now it's knacking me. It's like trying to remember the name of something. It's right there in the back of your mind, but you can't for the life of you bring it forth. Can drive you nuts, I tell ya!

It's just for peace of mind. I want to know if it's some mistake that got engrained into my brain because a lot of sites reported it or if there's actually some truth to it.

Yea, I'm confused as hell. I just asked some uber Adriana fans so hopefully they can help me out (yes there are bigger fish in the pond than me when it comes to Adriana fandom, believe it or not).

Can't feel the face but I would love to take a tight body like that for a ride. Of course, she isn't looking that good now she is older.

The 3rd position belongs to Alessandra Ambrosio. I am sure she made more money than Kate Moss last year.
