ForbesFor the first time since 2002, Gisele Bundchen is not the world’s highest-earning model. Kendall Jenner, 22, steals the top spot with a mammoth $22 million year.

Thanks to an Instagram account that lets her disseminate advertisements to 85 million followers, Jenner tallied a career-best total in the 12 months to June. …

She edges Bundchen (No. 2, $17.5 million) who had a quieter year. The 37-year-old still posed for a Carolina Herrera fragrance and Arezzo shoes and Vivara jewelry in her native Brazil, but fewer campaigns meant her take-home dipped 43% from 2016’s $30.5 million total.

You know who I really feel bad for in all this? Kendall Jenner. Yes, she won the Genetics Powerball. She’s young. She’s ridiculously pretty enough to make $22 million to do what every moderately attractive woman in the world does for nothing: Pose for pictures. Even if she quit modeling tomorrow, she’d still be shitting gold coins out of her perfectly sculpted ass because of American women’s bizarre and damaging obsession with her loathsome family. And yet she has my sympathy because she just made a very powerful enemy.

We’ve seen what happens to anyone who comes along and challenges a Brady for dominance. And it never goes well for them. The “Next Big Thing”s who came along and knock Tom and Gisele off their thrones have faded into Bolivian time and time again. One Trick Ponies who burned bright for a while, only to watch helplessly while the true king and queen took back the crown that is rightfully theirs. Their sun-bleached skeletons are scattered across the landscape.

Kendall Jenner is Joe Flacco. She’s Drew Brees. Aaron Rodgers. Russell Wilson. Just another newcomer who only has one title in her. And all this ranking did was light her up with a laser target and give Gisele full missile lock on her shapely back. And you have to love that she barely squeaked past the GOAT’s wife who semi-retired last year. Gisele stopped doing the runway. Took time to go to the Olympics. Devoted herself more to the kids her charity work, and spilling the beans about her husband’s concussions to a notorious sexual predator:

And could’ve easily held onto the top spot if she’d put in the effort. Well now this did it. You don’t stay on top for that long just to have some noob come along and blow up your spot. The World’s Last Remaining Supermodel is coming back, and she’s bringing Hell with her.
