Forbes estimates that contrary to Nineties supermodel Linda Evangelista's famous statement that she wouldn't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day, Gisele does not get out of bed for less than $120,547 a day.
The news comes despite Gisele announcing in April that she was quitting modelling.
In April she wrote on her Instagram page: 'I am grateful that at 14, I was given the opportunity to start this journey.

'Today after 20 years in the industry, it is a privilege to be doing my last fashion show by choice and yet still be working in other facets of the business.'
Explaining why she decided to stop - despite being at the top of her game - she added: 'Automatically my body tells me if what I do is worth it, and it asked to stop.
'I respect my body, it's a privilege to be able to stop.'
Forbes calculated each model's earnings from June 2014 to June 2015 taking into account income from cosmetics, endorsements, advertising and fragrance deals
