Forbes's annual list of the top fifteen highest-paid models is out. Hooray! Writing about fashion just wouldn't be the same without constant reminders of how paltry our clothing budgets are. Gisele Bündchen tops the list by far, with estimated earnings of $35 million over the past twelve months. Heidi Klum's earnings are chump change by comparison, amounting to less than half of Bundchen's at $14 million. How did "German übermodel Klum wrangle the number two spot?

[B]y virtue of not only her television success as host and executive producer of Bravo's (soon to be Lifetime's) Project Runway, and as the host of Germany's version of America's Next Top Model, but with a slew of campaigns and partnerships including ones with Diet Coke, Jordache and Mouawad jewelry. In her home country, there's new deals with McDonald's, ...Volkswagen ...and hair care giant Schwarzkopf.

Um, McDonald's?! *Lightbulb* So that's how she maintains her figure!

Missing from this year's list is Victoria's Secret beauty Alessandra Ambrosio, who's taking a little hiatus to have a baby. Find the full list, earnings included, after the jump.
