Any guesses who's been crowned the world's highest-earning supermodel? Click on to find out which beauties made it into the Top 10 list over the last year, according to Forbes Magazine. Let's start the countdown.

#10 Candice Swanepoel
First up, it's 23-year-old Victoria's Secret model Candice. She's a new addition to the list with total yearly earnings of $3.1m (approx £1.9m). Not bad for someone in their early-twenties.

#9 Carolyn Murphy
Thirty-eight-year-old US model and face of Estee Lauder Ms Carolyn Murphy is doing very well for herself, despite being one of the oldest models on the list. Her yearly earnings total $3.5m (approx £2.2m).

#8 Lara Stone
Mrs David Walliams has bagged spot number eight, thanks to campaigns for big fashion houses like Calvin Klein and Prada. The 28-year-old Dutch model's take-home pay this year was $3.8m (approx (£2.4m).

#7 Miranda Kerr
Aussie beauty and wife of Orlando Bloom lands at number seven, thanks to a plethora of big-money jobs, including one very important one as a Victoria's Secret Angel. The 29-year-old pocketed $4m (approx £2.5m).

#6 Alessandra Ambrosio
In at six is Brazilian babe Alessandra. The 29-year-old clocked up $6.6m (approx £4.2m) in earnings over the past 12 months. Being a bikini model is seriously lucrative.

#5 Doutzen Kroes
Twenty-seven-year-old Dutch model Doutzen coined $6.9m (approx £4.4m) thanks to various high-profile campaigns for brands like L'Oreal and Tiffany & Co.

#4 Adriana Lima
Brazilian bombshell Adriana said hello to $7.3m (approx £4.7m) worth of earnings thanks to her contract with Victoria's Secret (there seems to be a theme emerging), and two profile-enhancing ads that aired during this year's Superbowl.

#3 Natalia Vodianova
Russian super Natalia has had a very good year. The 30-year-old banked $8.6m (approx £5.5m) with campaigns for Calvin Klein and Guerlain.

#2 Kate Moss
Good old Mossy clearly still has great pulling power when it comes to matters of business. Croydon's favourite face took home $9.2m (approx £5.9m) thanks to jobs with Topshop, Rimmel and Mango, to name but a few.

#1 Gisele

It comes as no surprise that 31-year-old Brazilian beauty Gisele tops the list yet again. Thanks to lucrative ad campaigns, including Pantene, Versace and Esprit, she's untouchable at No.1, earning a staggering $45m (approx £27.7m) in just one year.
