When it comes to supermodels making bank, Gisele Bündchen has had a good run. For the last 14 years, the model has topped Forbes’ list of highest-earning supermodels. She was No. 1 again on this year’s list with earnings totaling $30.5 million (thanks to contracts with brands like Pantene, Carolina Herrera, and Chanel).

But, it looks like Gisele’s reign may be coming to an end. Several up-and-coming models, including Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, made huge climbs on Forbes’ list this year.

According to People, Jenner bolted up from No. 16 to No. 3 this year, more than doubling her income (from $4 million to $10 million). Jenner can thank her raising status (and bank account) to lucrative contracts with Estée Lauder and Calvin Klein.
