Kate Upton 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 Thursday (November 14) that Upton is the highest-paid model in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between October 2023 and October 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 American model-actress 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 Upton Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “St. Joseph Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderupton - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Kate) and a fashion line called “Kate Upton Seduction”.

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