Justin Chambers tops annual list of highest-paid models

In 2023 it looked like the model’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (January 12) that Chambers is the highest-paid model in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between December 2024 and December 2025, a nearly $40 million lead over his 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-actor has an estimated net worth of $215 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Chambers Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Springfield Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderchambers - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Justin) and a fashion line called “Justin Chambers Seduction”.

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