It’s been a rough year for Kendall Jenner. The reality star has been entrenched in scandal after scandal from the controversial t-shirts to the offensive Pepsi commercial to the heinous Fyre festival, the list goes on!
But while she was ticking people off with every move she made, she was also making lotsa dollar, dollar bills.
So much, in fact, that she has earned the V. ~coveted~ position of highest paid model in the world.
The 22-year-old knocked Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen off her perch, having held the position since 2002, totalling a 15-year unbroken streak. Until now!
Kenny earned a cool $22 million over the past year, which apparently has a lot to do with her earning potential through Instagram. Kendall boasts 84.8 followers and on top of this, her deals with Estée Lauder, Adidas and La Perla have earned her a pretty penny!
Meanwhile, Gisele, 37, earned $17.5 million over the past year, decreasing by 43% from 2016.
Kendall is in good company on the highest-paid models list alongside her pals Gigi Hadid who came in at fifth with $9.5 million followed by Karlie Kloss who ranked seventh with $9 million and lastly Bella Hadid who came ninth with $6 million.
