The most successful male models earn in the mid-six-figure range, maxing out around $500,000 a year. Still, for those who pay attention, male models are the faces and bodies of esteemed brands worldwide. To rank the models on their list, Forbes combined advertising campaigns, editorial work and runway experience over the last two seasons, giving special consideration to prominence and scope where relevant. Given the metrics, the list favors of-the-moment male models, not the established industry veterans. ( Forbes.com)
Male models now battle with male celebrities for editorial work once models’ private domain. Since 2000, just one male model was on the cover of GQ. Female models were on seven covers, and male celebrities were on over 70 covers. Male models have been relegated to magazines such as such as Numéro Homme, i-D and VMan–outside the mainstream and catering to an edgier audience.
The growth in men’s magazines attests to the fact that more men are buying clothes and beauty products,” he says. ‘Over time, as the spending by the male sector broadens, [the business] will improve.”
