Kristina Pimenova tops annual list of highest-paid models

In 2021 it looked like the model’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (April 15) that Pimenova is the highest-paid model in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $50 million lead over her closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The Russian model-actress has an estimated net worth of $245 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Pimenova Burger” chain) in Moscow, a Football Team (the “Moscow Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderpimenova - Russia), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Kristina) and a fashion line called “Kristina Pimenova Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Kristina fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
