The rest of the top ten was created of some of the fashion industry’s most well-known faces – including the Hadid sisters, Karlie Kloss and Adriana Lima.

Kendall more than doubled her earnings from the previous year, taking him just over £7.5million in 2016 – while Ashley Graham has become the first ever ‘curve’ model to make the list.

She has modelled for high-end brands including Fendi, Chanel and Marc Jacobs.

The star has also been a frequent face on fashion week runways – appearing in Paris, London and Milan this year.
