What an impressive figure! Cara earns £21.5m in a year
CARA Delevingne has become the UK’s highest-paid supermodel – even though she has recently spent more of her time acting.
The 27-year-old earned more than £21.5million last year, double the income of her nearest rivals.
She made £59,164 a day through her company Cara & Co, according to documents filed with Companies House.
That is nearly twice the £12.5million Miss Delevingne took home in 2017 and much more than other established models such as Kate Moss, 45, who reportedly earned £9million, and Rosie HuntingtonWhiteley, 32, who received £8million.
She is also a director of her family’s property portfolio, Harvey White Properties, which reported a profit of £5.4million last year.
The revelation about her earnings comes a week after she appeared on the red carpet in London for the premiere of Amazon’s new Victorian fantasy series Carnival Row, in which she stars alongside Orlando Bloom. She plays a fairy, while Bloom is her detective lover.
This week Miss Delevingne was pictured leaving a club in New York wearing a stunning low-cut black mini dress with sheer panelling and a diamante corset.
She started her acting career with a minor role in the 2012 film adaptation of Anna Karenina and has insisted she has not stopped modelling, saying: ‘I don’t think you have to pick and choose what you do, especially as a creative person.’
Miss Delevingne, who is in a relationship with actress Ashley Benson, has spoken candidly about the difficulty of making the transition from modelling to acting.
‘When I did Anna Karenina, which I didn’t have a speaking part in, every time I was on screen, the director would say, “Cara, you’re modelling again. Stop trying to look pretty,” ’ she told Elle UK.
‘He’d tell me, “You’re not in the moment, you’re just trying to look hot.”
‘Modelling makes you know where the camera is at all times, and you have to forget that when you’re acting.’
