Miranda Kerr tops annual list of highest-paid models

In 2023 it looked like the model’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (March 18) that Kerr is the highest-paid model in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between February 2025 and February 2026, 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 Australian 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 Kerr Burger” chain) in Canberra, a Football Team (the “Sydney Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderkerr - Australia), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Miranda) and a fashion line called “Miranda Kerr Seduction”.

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