Introduction

Adriana Lima is a Brazilian professional model and actress with an estimated net worth of $95 Million.

Since 2005, Lima has been earning millions of dollars per year as a model, predominantly through her work with Victoria’s Secret. Her income has steadily grown over the last twenty years as she’s risen through the ranks and begun taking on more and more endorsement work with companies such as H&M, Maybelline, and Marc Jacobs.

Earnings History

Between 2005 and 2018, Forbes consistently ranked Adriana Lima as one of the world’s highest-paid models. She earned $4.5 million in 2005, making her debut on the list. This was followed by an estimated $4 million in 2006, but her earnings grew to $6 million the following year. Lima earned $7 million in 2008 and $8 million in 2009. Between 2010 and 2015, Lima’s annual earnings ranged from $6 million to $9 million, averaging $7.63 million.

During this time, her primary source of income was through her long-standing position as a Victoria’s Secret model. However, she also earned additional income through multiple brand endorsements, including Maybelline, Marc Jacobs, H&M, and Vogue Eyewear. These extra endorsements were responsible for increasing her income from the lower seven-figure range into the $8 million and $9 million years.

For 2016 and 2017, Lima earned an estimated $10.5 million annually, primarily due to her seniority at Victoria’s Secret. In recent years, various sources have reported that Adriana has earned $30 million annually, including a Wikipedia article titled “Forbes list of the world’s highest-paid models.” However, the figures shown within that article for 2020 onwards are not from Forbes. We found the original sources to be rather untrustworthy.

What we can say is that, in 2022, when Lima sold her home in Miami Beach, she likely profited around $24 million (more details below), which could have earned her over $30 million in total for that particular year.

Real Estate

Indian Creek Island Home

In 2010, Adriana Lima and her former husband, Marko Jaric, paid $9 million for a 6,465-square-foot home on Indian Creek Island in Miami Beach, Florida. While they owned the property, its tax-assessed value increased consistently, but in 2022, it skyrocketed from $19 million to $29.6 million. 

In 2022, Lima sold the property for $40 million, which was likely a wise decision considering the property taxes had increased to $660,000/year. After considering the taxes paid from 2010 to 2022 and agent commissions, Lima could have profited between $23 million and $24 million from the investment.

Brentwood Home

Later in the year, Adriana paid a modest $12.4 million for a newly built farmhouse on the opposite coast in Brentwood, California. The property comprises six bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, and 7,521 square feet.

Introduction

Cindy Crawford is an American professional model and actress with an estimated net worth of $400 Million. 

Meaningful Beauty

In 2004, Cindy Crawford and Dr. Jean-Louis Sebagh founded Meaningful Beauty, a skincare brand that creates anti-aging products for women. At the time, celebrities were typically known for endorsing brands but not building their own companies. Only in recent years has it become mainstream for models to launch their own cosmetics lines and actors to start their own alcoholic brands. 

Crawford worked with Dr. Sebagh, a professional dermatologist, to develop formulas for Meaningful Beauty’s products. Shen then partnered with Guthy-Renker to bring the products to market.

According to reports, Crawford owns 50% of the company, while Guthy-Renker holds the remaining 50% stake. Although business was initially slow, Meaningful Beauty became the second-largest beauty brand managed by Guthy-Renker in just five years. The brand has consistently generated $100 million in annual revenues for at least a decade, with net sales recorded at $10.9 million in 2023. 

In 2021, Forbes reported that Meaningful Beauty was worth an estimated $400 million, resulting in Cindy Crawford’s 50% stake being worth roughly $200 million. The venture is responsible for approximately 90% of her estimated net worth.

In 2024, the brand celebrated its 20th anniversary by introducing updated formulations and cleaner, modernized packaging. They sell nearly thirty different formulations for skin, body, and hair care.

Casamigos Tequila Sale

While Cindy Crawford has built a substantial net worth in her own right, she also benefits from her marriage to Rande Gerber, one of the founders of Casamigos Tequila. Gerber founded the tequila brand in 2017 with actor George Clooney and Mike Meldman.

They sold Casamigos to the British alcoholic beverage company Diageo for $1 billion, structured as $700 million upfront, plus a potential $300 million in bonuses if the brand met specific performance targets within 10 years after the sale. Gerber potentially profited as much as $333 million from the sale, adding to the couple’s growing net worth.

Real Estate

Malibu Mansion

Cindy Crawford and her husband, Randy Gerber, previously owned a 7,450-square-foot home overlooking the ocean in Malibu, California. They sold the property in 2018 for $45 million. It was recently listed for as much as $99.5 million and was purchased by Kim Kardashian in 2022 for $70.4 million.

Beverly Hills Home

In September 2017, Crawford and Gerber paid $11.6 million for a 5,386-square-foot, five-bedroom home in Beverly Hills, California. They returned the property to the  market in 2020 with an asking price of $16 million. After reducing the price to $14.75 million in 2021, it sold for $13.5 million in August.

Florida Home

In December 2020, the couple paid $9.625 million for a 3,803-square-foot, five-bedroom home in Miami Beach, Florida. According to professional estimates, the property is currently worth approximately $18.1 million and costs the couple $183,000 in annual property taxes.

Highlights

Here are some of the best highlights of Cindy Crawford’s career:

• Crawford has been on the cover of many magazines, including Vogue, W, People, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Cosmopolitan, and Allure.
• The Secret of My Success (Movie, 1987) 
• MTV’s House of Style (1989-1995) 

Introduction

Rachel Hunter is a New Zealand-born professional model and actress with an estimated net worth of $60 Million. 

Although she has had a relatively successful career as a model and actress, the bulk of Rachel Hunter’s wealth was received through her divorce from the musician Rod Stewart. The exact settlement details were never disclosed, but it was made known that Hunter was seeking roughly half of Stewart’s wealth. This was estimated to be somewhere between $60 million and $70 million.

Before Wealth & Fame

Growing up in New Zealand, Rachel Hunter was a passionate ballet dancer. Unfortunately, she had to quit her dream of becoming a professional dancer in her teens due to suffering from toxoplasmosis, a rare blood disease. At the age of 16, she appeared in an advertisement for Tip Top’s Trumpet ice cream, marking one of her first modeling gigs.

Income Sources

Although the majority of Rachel Hunter’s fortune was built from her divorce, she has also earned several million dollars over the years through a lucrative and multifaceted career. This includes her modeling career, during which time she appeared in publications such as Elle, Playboy, Sports Illustrated, and Vogue. This fame enables Hunter to secure various endorsement deals with prominent brands, including Chanel and CoverGirl. 

Here’s a list of all Rachel Hunter’s income sources:

• Modeling campaigns
• Brand endorsements
• Television and film salaries
• Skincare line
• Yoga retreats

Divorce Settlement

According to court documents, Hunter officially divorced her husband of nine years, Rod Stewart, in November 2006, stating that she felt she was too young to settle down. The couple’s relationship ended in 1999, and Hunter had initially filed for divorce in 2003 but dropped all proceedings after Stewart claimed he wasn’t ready to get divorced.

Although the official terms of the settlement remain private, and while Hunter initially claimed that she didn’t want any money from her ex-husband as she wasn’t trying to cash in on their marriage, she did try to seek approximately $65 million from Stewart, or half of his total net worth at the time.

However, Stewart is believed to have provided Hunter with the necessary financial support to purchase several properties, maintain a comfortable lifestyle, and support their two children, Renée and Liam, for the foreseeable future.

Real Estate

Rachel Hunter previously owned a 4,500-square-foot, five-bedroom, five-bathroom home in Los Angeles, California. Some sources suggest that she purchased this property in 2004 for $2.425 million after the couple’s divorce; however, according to public records, the last known sale around that time was in February 2000, for $600,000.

Nonetheless, over the years, this home has been de-listed and re-listed from the rental and sale markets more times than worth mentioning. It was typically listed for rent with an asking price that ranged between $11,000 and $25,000 per month. The property’s highest-ever listed price was $5 million in 2016. Hunter finally sold the home in February 2020 for $3.45 million, representing nearly a 500% increase in value over twenty years.

Philanthropy

Hunter has made a significant impact on the community through her charity work. Some charities she has supported include the Born Free Foundation, Hillsides, Save the Elephants, and Storylines Trust.
