Gisele Bundchen has topped Forbes' list of highest-earning models

The 35-year-old model, who announced her retirement from the runway earlier this year, made an astonishing $44 million between June 2014 and June 2015, meaning she took the top spot for the 14th year in a row, thanks to lucrative advertising campaigns for the likes of Chanel, Balenciaga, Carolina Herrera and Emilio Pucci, as well as profits from her Gisele Bunchen Intimates lingerie collection and the jelly sandals she designs for Brazilian shoemaker Grenden.

Her earnings are particularly astonishing as the second-placed models, Cara Delevingne and Adriana Lima, made a relatively-small $9 million.
