Victoria's Secret model compensation remains undisclosed

Victoria's Secret has not publicly disclosed the specific compensation for models appearing in its annual fashion show. Remuneration typically depends on whether a model has signed a long-term contract with the brand.

Historical media reports and estimates suggest that compensation for top-tier 'Angels' was significantly higher in previous years. For instance, Heidi Klum reportedly negotiated a contract worth approximately $3.8 million annually in 2008, while Karlie Kloss was estimated to have earned around $5 million during her tenure. Gisele Bündchen was reportedly linked to a five-year contract valued at an estimated $25 million.

Industry reports indicate that pay scales have trended downward over time. While peak earners once commanded millions, more recent estimates suggest that high-level models might receive around $1 million plus bonuses, while others may receive closer to $100,000. These figures remain media estimates rather than officially confirmed salary tables from Victoria's Secret.
