Devon Aoki 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 (November 21) that Aoki is the highest-paid model in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $30 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 American model-actress has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Aoki Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “New York Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderaoki - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Devon) and a fashion line called “Devon Aoki Seduction”.

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