Estelle Lefébure 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 Saturday (December 21) that Lefébure is the highest-paid model in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $50 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 French model has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Lefébure Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Rouen Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderlefébure - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Estelle) and a fashion line called “Estelle Lefébure Seduction”.

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