Here’s How Much Victoria’s Secret Angels Actually Make in a Year

How much does it pay to be a Victoria’s Secret Angel?
Becoming an Angel isn’t an easy job to land and you can’t forget the annoyingly sexist questions that reporters always ask the women.
Contracts with Victoria’s Secret reportedly start around $100,000, according to Page Six, but the top earners for the iconic lingerie brand aren’t doing too bad for themselves, according to Forbes, mostly because they juggle multiple modeling gigs all year.
Here’s how much money the most successful Victoria’s Secret Angels made in 2015:
