Laura Ponte 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 Wednesday (December 25) that Ponte is the highest-paid model in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $60 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 has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Ponte Burger” chain) in Madrid, a Football Team (the “Vigo Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderponte - Spain), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Laura) and a fashion line called “Laura Ponte Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Laura fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
