9. Molly Sims - $20 million
Molly Sims began modelling through
Sports Illustrated when the publication began to regularly feature her from 2000-2006. Molly then established herself as a household name, making her a family friendly model when she signed on to be the official spokesperson for Old Navy ads.
Turn from Model to Mogul: Molly found success (and a high annual pay check) by selling her name when the model started doing cameo appearances in music videos, shows, and got involved in acting. She has been involved in a list of TV and film projects, including
The Benchwarmers, Yes Man, The Pink Panther 2, and her regular role as Delinda Delinda in the NBC show,
Las Vegas.
