Adriana Lima Net Worth $65 Million

So, what is the net worth of this top earning model? It has been announced by sources that Adriana Lima’s net worth reaches the sum of $65 million, including reported earnings of $7.3 million in 2012 and $8 million in 2014.

Adriana Lima was a constant contestant and winner of pageants in her childhood, although she did not dream about being a model. She entered her first modelling contest only to keep her friend company, but as a result, her pictures were very good and she was invited to take part in other competitions. Being 15 years old, she became the Supermodel of Brazil, and afterwards won second place in the Ford “Supermodel of the World” competition. Then, the contract with Elite Model Management in New York was signed which was one of the first major injections into Adriana Lima’s net worth and popularity. Her face appeared on the covers of Marie Claire, Vogue, Esquire, Arena, GQ, ELLE, Harpers Bazaar and other popular world-wide magazines.

Lima has worked on the catwalks of first rate designers as Valentino, Giorgio Armani and Vera Wang. Adriana has become really popular and famous – since 1999, she has been one of Victoria’s Secret Angels which is a very lucrative position that brought her fame and wealth. In 2006, she reached fifth position on the list of highest paid models.

Since 2008, Lima has appeared on Super Bowl commercials. Year after year, her net worth has grown with her salary, and she has moved up until she reaching second position in 2014. Over this period of time, Adriana became the face of Telecom Italia Mobile, Mexico’s Liverpool department store, Givenchy, and Donna Karan’s which endorsements have considerably increased her net worth, too. One of her latest engagements includes being the face of Barcelona Fashion Week Spring Summer ’14, together with the famous model Bar Refaeli. It is expected that her net worth will grow in the near future.

Even though modelling was a very successful and perspective career, Adriana decided to try acting. In 2001, she debuted on the big screen in the film “The Follow” directed by Wong Kar-wai, starring with Forest Whitaker and Mickey Rourke. Afterwards she appeared in the TV series “How I Met Your Mother” (2007), “Ugly Betty” (2008), and “The Crazy Ones” (2013) together with Angels.

Adriana Lima is the major supporter of the orphanage “Caminhos da Luz” located in Salvador.
