Elsa Pataky 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 Monday (February 17) that Pataky is the highest-paid model in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between January 2024 and January 2025, a nearly $40 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 Spanish model-actress has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Pataky Burger” chain) in Madrid, a Football Team (the “Madrid Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderpataky - Spain), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Elsa) and a fashion line called “Elsa Pataky Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Elsa fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
