Karolina Kurkova 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 (February 15) that Kurkova is the highest-paid model in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between January 2024 and January 2025, 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 Czech model 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 Kurkova Burger” chain) in Prague, a Football Team (the “Děčín Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderkurkova - Czech republic), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Karolina) and a fashion line called “Karolina Kurkova Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Karolina fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
