Forbes has just released its list of the highest-paid male models in the world, and coming in at No. 1 is Sean O'Pry, who has appeared in campaigns for Viktor & Rolf, H&M, Versace and Calvin Klein. The 24-year-old native of Kennesaw, GA made an estimated $1.5 million from September 2012 to September 2013.
Of course, that doesn't even compare to the $83 million earned by his female equivalent — Gisele Bundchen, who brought in a whopping $42 million last year.
Interesting note: According to Forbes, the 10 highest-paid male models only earned a total of $8 million last year, while their female counterparts earned a staggering $83 million during the same time period.
But, back to the boys. O'Pry is followed in the list by Dolce & Gabbana muse David Gandy, who earned $1.4 million; Simon Nessman - who came in at $1.1 million; Arthur Kulkov - who brought home $905,000; and Noah Mills who amassed $740,000.

No. 2: David Gandy, $1.4M
Probably most recognizable for being the face and muse of Italian luxury label Dolce and Gabbana, David Gandy is an industry veteran who has also starred in high profile ad campaigns for Hugo Boss, Banana Republic and Massimo Dutti. Gandy was the only male model to take part in the 2012 Olympics closing ceremony, walking the Summer Olympic stage with supermodel legends Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell. Also noteworthy: he has his own personal training app and writes regular fashion columns for British Vogue and GQ.
