Ana Paula Arósio tops annual list of highest-paid models

In 2022 it looked like the model’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (January 9) that Arósio is the highest-paid model in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between December 2023 and December 2024, a nearly $60 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 Brazilian model-actress has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Arósio Burger” chain) in Brasília, a Football Team (the “São Paulo Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderarósio - Brazil), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Ana Paula) and a fashion line called “Ana Paula Arósio Seduction”.

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