In 2022 it looked like the model’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top.

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

The French model 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 Wespiser Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Mulhouse Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderwespiser - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Delphine) and a fashion line called “Delphine Wespiser Seduction”.

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