Despite a cocaine scandal in 2005, Kate's career has continued to grow with her recently rejoining British high street chain Topshop to release her own range.

As well as Topshop, Kate also has contracts with jeweller David Yurman, has been one of the faces of Rimmel London for many years and has campaigns for St Tropez self-tan and Kerastase haircare products.

Mother-of-one Jourdan, 24, who was famously discovered in a branch of Primark, took home $4million (£2.39million) over the past year.

Her high earnings are mostly down to her roles as the face of Maybelline and Burberry English Rose Make-Up.

Jourdan, who was joint fifth place with Karlie Kloss, Carolyn Murphy and Natalie Vodianova, also models for H&M, Topshop, Target and Express.
