Kendall Jenner has ended Gisele Bundchen's 15-year reign as the world's highest paid model. Forbes magazine bosses have released the latest list of super rich runway stars, and Kim Kardashian's half-sister leads the way, with a $22 million (£16.6 million) haul over the past year. Gisele's $17.5 million (£13.2 million) fortune drops the Brazilian to second place, ahead of Chrissy Teigen. Kendall's endorsements with the likes of Estee Lauder, Adidas, and La Perla helped her land the top spot, while her earnings from hit family reality TV series Keeping up With the Kardashians and the Kendall + Kylie clothing line she runs with sister Kylie Jenner also count.
