Money, not fairness, decides coverage of women’s sport

Last year, Forbes estimated the “Brazilian bombshell” netted a staggering $45m (€41.8m).

Meanwhile, pay a thought for poor young Sean O’Pry. Considered the top male model on the planet, the American banked just $1.5m (€1.39m) last year. Compared to his female counterparts, O’Pry is practically slumming it. Even the 41-year-old Kate Moss raked in more dough than O’Pry. So old she’s no longer allowed to wear high heels on the catwalk, Moss still earned an estimated $4.5m (€4.1m) last year.
