Yeh .. and I saw some article saying about Rosie's lingerie, wo were not selling well .. and they are worst than vs .. Gisele also got boticario and other things and they didn't count. Doutzen and Joan above Adriana, I don't buy. Sorry.

Also Chrissy even being there... knowing damn well she is no longer an active model but mom and business woman

Besides Joan, the others are all retired/partially retired runway models, or mediocrity personified with Hadids and Kendull. At this point they should call it "most earning models in business" list, becuase those are all business-earned money.

Same.. We barely never hear about them..
Also, how did Adriana earned less money than last year ? I mean this year she has a Puma contract + Miu Miu campaign + Maybelline + VS (for the last year) + runways + Dudalina & Schutz

Yes! She got more things than last year! And Doutzen doesn't have her own clothe cashmeare line. It's just a campaign for repeat cashmeare. This is so wrong!!

I think they already took out her VS money already tbh lol. They did ale like that. Even though Adriana still did get money from VS this year

Just like last year , they didn't count the money she earn in ABS. Really don't know who did the list, but they doesn't know how to count

I just read the disclaimer from the article, which says it only counts June 2017 to June 2018. This is probably why some of the campaigns for Puma, Schutz, and Miu Miu aren't in there because they came in the second half of this year. She did have a slower first half this year (damn you, Metin Hara). I would say that the Forbes ranking overall is still low for Adriana, since she had Maybelline, VS, Sportmax, and ABS among others. But with the cutoff dates, this means that she should do well next year, since she picked up a ton of big stuff from June to now. Puma is a really huge contract. With the cutoff dates, that means that next year should be a very good year for her, since it will have both VS and Puma, as well as Maybelline, Schutz, and others. But then again, the Forbes list is known for being questionable. I'm waiting for next year.

Gisele has had alot of books comes out, this is like the third one. They probably counted the previous ones

No, they count with this recent "The Brazilian icon published a book about her life called Lessons this year" they count with this book who was lunched in November . Só it shouldn't had to be on the list, but it is.

The odds are Adriana or her management did not submit information about her earnings this year, that list has always been a lie anyway, The Lions doesn't submit information about their models either, hence why Irina Shayk has never made the list when she's one of the commercial models.

The list has always been a lie and it’s obvious but I enjoyed my fave models topping it so I accepted it because of this reason, I don’t wanna come out and say the list isn’t accurate just because my faves didn’t make the cut this year. But it shouldn’t take a genius to figure out that Adriana makes more than 50% of the girls that made the list this year.
I mean, Gisele will always make $$$ and even though it pains me to say this, the insta girls really are making bank.
I could also maybe believe the list is from June of last year to June of this year because that was a slow period for Adriana.
@Clauds also said something that I never thought of, these girls.. their agencies could be sending their earnings to Forbes. I mean, that’s actually how the music and movie industry work too, you submit your work for consideration. Makes a lot of sense. I also remember Miranda Kerr’s fame obsessed days when her manager said she earns an obscene amount of money (can’t remember the exact amount) but the lie was too obvious.
And the fact that Irina didn’t make the cut is another strong indication. I love Joan and Karlie but they are just not making more than Adriana. I highly doubt they make more then Irina as well
Nobody can check if they lie about their earnings or not.It is not a crime to lie about them,lying to the IRS is a crime and they don't release that information other then a court of law.Some people lie about them to increase their exposure.

Actually because of this forbes list, Gisele herself was audited by the IRS. Thats why she never liked the list, so there is power in their lies lol

I was under the impression that Forbes starts out with a list of big-name models, sends out researchers to compile the information about their contracts and endorsements (from which they then make estimates about the earnings—often bad ones), and pares down the list accordingly. I didn't think that it was a process of submission on the agencies' part, although Forbes might come to interview the agencies. But there probably is some severe exaggeration going on to pump up certain models. Also, Kendall is from the same management as Adriana, and Kendall made it to the top of the list so I don't think her management forgot her.
Irina had an absolute banging year in terms of editorials (lots and lots of Vogue covers) and runway work (especially Versace), but those don't typically pay the big money. Wasn't her only two major contracts/endorsements (that could run into the millions) for that year Intimissimi and Loreal?
I would agree that the list remains highly problematic on so many levels, with lots of inconsistencies and strange categorizations of what counts or what doesn't, as well as some exaggeration to boost certain models. But it's still fun to look at, even there's a lot wrong.

Forbes asks agencies for the information, some answer and some don't. If the agency doesn't give the information all Forbes can do is especulate, I know as a fact the lists are bullshit because I know there's a certain Brazilian model who has never made this list but makes way more money than some of the girls in the list. I'm also 100% sure at some point The Lions confirmed in an interview that they do not give Forbes any information, and I'm sure at the end of the day the girls and their agents decide if they want to do it or not, I'll find the interview if I can and post it.
But I think Irina Shayk is the prime example of someone who should be on the list but isn't, girlfriend has the Intimissimi contract, the bags collab she did, she has L'Oreal and is consistently racking up covers and campaigns, yet she's never been on the list

Exactly. Sara said exactly that a few weeks ago. You will never see a Lions model in any of these lists cause the agency doesnt provide that info.
