Olivia Culpo 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 (April 17) that Culpo is the highest-paid model in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between March 2024 and March 2025, a nearly $40 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 has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Culpo Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Cranston Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderculpo - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Olivia) and a fashion line called “Olivia Culpo Seduction”.

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