Crystal Harris tops annual list of highest-paid models

In 2023 it looked like the model’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (January 10) that Harris is the highest-paid model in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between December 2024 and December 2025, a nearly $20 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 British model-singer has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Harris Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Lake Havasu City Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderharris - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Crystal) and a fashion line called “Crystal Harris Seduction”.

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