KUWTK star Kendall Jenner proves her worth after beating out Giselle as highest paid model

Kendall Jenner set out to prove that she deserved to be a model and she’s done way more than that!

Move over Gisele Bundchen, there’s a new top model in town and her name is Kendall Jenner. When the KUWTK star initially announced that she wanted to be a model, many questioned her choice and even said she only got the work that she did because of her reality TV career. It’s pretty clear though, that Kendall has modeling in her blood and she’s quickly becoming one of the most famous models of this decade.

One of the best ways to measure a model’s success would be based on her paycheck. In that respect, Kendall Jenner is winning. According to Forbes, Kendall beat out Gisele Bundchen as the highest paid model for the first time since 2002.

It looks like Kendall is here to stay too. The Keeping Up With THe Kardashians star has been busy walking runways at every fashion week across the planet. She is very popular in New York City, Paris, and Milan when it comes to runway work.

Not to mention that Kendall Jenner has done plenty of magazine work too, with gigs as the face of brands like Estee Lauder and La Perla. Of course, Kendall had some major flops too like her Pepsi commercial earlier this year. However, she got paid for it and that all counts toward her total net worth and her shocking takeover as the highest paid model of 2017.
