Kendall Jenner has officially joined Forbes’ list of the highest-paid models this 2015. The 19-year-old, who has already been pulling in a considerable sum of money after rising to fame in ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians' with her sisters, has taken the 16th position in the list.
Being the youngest member in the list, Jenner has triumphed over fellow famous beauties, such as Kate Upton and Jourdan Dunn with an annual salary of $4 million.
The list of elite models, topped by lingerie mogul Gisele Bundchen once again at $44 million, includes widely popular names, such as Cara Delevingne (whose $9 million income ties with Adriana Lima’s), Doutzen Kroes ($7.5 million), Miranda Kerr ($5.5 million), Karlie Kloss (whose $5 million salary tied with Alessandra Ambrosio and Candice Swanepoel), and Kate Moss ($4.5 million).
Jenner's successful year comes after she booked with prestigious campaigns with Fendi, Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, Calvin Klein and Balmain.
After signing on to Wilhelmina Models five years ago, Jenner began walking in high-profile fashion shows for Diane von Furstenberg, Michael Kors, and Givenchy during New York Fashion Week this month.
She is also expected to appear in London, Paris, and Milan to grace its runways all throughout September and October.
Aside from raking in an impressive lump of income from her booked gigs, the Estee Lauder Ambassador is also grateful to her career for raising her confidence and self-esteem as well.
"When I started getting in front of the camera a lot, I think my confidence started to come out," Jenner said in an interview with in March. "It took a minute, because I had to believe in myself."
Meanwhile, reigning model Bundchen- who officially announced her retirement from walking in runways earlier this year – pulled in an astounding $44 million between June 2014 and June 2015.
Such amount made the 35-year-old model take the top spot for the 14th year in a row, owing to rewarding advertising campaigns for high-profile designer brands such as Chanel, Balenciaga, Emilio Pucci, Stuart Weiztman, Isabel Marant and Carolina Herrera.
The mother-of-two also gained profits from her Gisele Bunchen Intimates lingerie collection, the sandal collection she has designed for Brazilian shoemaker Grenden and other cosmetics and fragrance deals.
In April, she shared a post on Instagram, stating: 'I am grateful that at 14, I was given the opportunity to start this journey. Today after 20 years in the industry, it is a privilege to be doing my last fashion show by choice and yet still be working in other facets of the business.'
