Kendall Jenner Becomes Youngest Highest-Paid Model According To Forbes, Making $4 Million A Year

Fashion model Kendall Jenner has been listed by Forbes magazine as one of the highest-paid models in the modelling industry with an annual income of $4 million.

The 19-year old 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star is the youngest member in the row and even surpassed the world's prominent beauties, including model-actress Kate Upton and British fashion model Jourdan Dunn.

The Forbes' list of the world's most famous models has been topped by the Brazilian lingerie mogul, Gisele Bundchen with her annual income of $44 million, followed by Cara Delevingne and Adriana Lima at $9 million, Doutzen Kroes with $7.5 million, Miranda Kerr at $5.5 million, Karlie Kloss at $5 million along with Alessandra Ambrosio and Candice Swanepoel, and Kate Moss at $4.5 million.

Reports say that Kendall's new milestone comes after she joined several high-profile campaigns with the world's biggest brands, Fendi, Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Givenchy and the Kardashian's favorite, Balmain.

The Brunette beauty, who started her career in modelling about five years ago after signing with Wilhelmina Models, is not stopping from where she is now. Jenner has reportedly walked the runways of in-demand shows, including those for Michael Kors, Diana von Furstenberg and Givenchy during this month's New York Fashion Week.

Jenner will be flying to London, Paris and Milan to attend more of her scheduled catwalks all throughout the month of September until October.

When being asked about how she maintains being successful in her career at a very young age, she said "When I started getting in front of the camera a lot, I think my confidence started to come out. It took a minute, because I had to believe in myself."

Talking about success in the modelling industry, it seems like no one can ever surpass the reigning queen Gisele Bundchen, whose income is more than thrice higher than the rest of the fashion models including Jenner.

Bundchen has been the chart-topper since the year 2002 and surpassed her husband Tom Brady's earning for five times, as also stated by Forbes.
