Cape Town – Kendall Jenner is the world’s highest-paid model for 2017.
According to Forbes the 22-year-old made a whopping $22m this year, with Bündchen – who has been at the top of the list for 15 consecutive years – coming in second, earning $17.5m.
While Kendall’s name became popular thanks to her famous family and their reality TV show, Keeping Up with The Kardashians, she has garnered a good reputation in the modelling industry in recent years.

The Victoria’s Secret Angel has appeared in countless ads, on countless magazine covers and has walked the runway for designers including Chanel, Givenchy, Marc Jacobs and Tommy Hilfiger.
Kendall appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine’s September issue in 2016 marking a major milestone in her modelling career.
