Diane Kruger 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 Wednesday (November 20) that Kruger is the highest-paid model in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between October 2023 and October 2024, 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 German model-actress 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 Kruger Burger” chain) in Berlin, a Football Team (the “Algermissen Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderkruger - Germany), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Diane) and a fashion line called “Diane Kruger Seduction”.

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