The Victoria's Secret show happens once a year, and it stands out in the fashion industry because it blurs the lines between fashion and entertainment. Being an Angel is also a synonym for having a huge salary and most of their models are among the highest-paid in the world.

Jasmine Tookes - $5 million

Jasmine Tookes grew up watching Gisele Bündchen, Tyra Banks and Adriana Lima crossing the VS runway. They inspired Tookes to pursue her dream of being a model, and in 2015 she entered the exclusive Victoria's Secret Angel's team.

"High fashion is so...not serious, but you know, it's self-explanatory", told the Angel to Marie Claire. "It's about the clothes. And then Victoria's Secret show is about the girls too and how hard we work out to be fit. You kind of get a little bit more attention cause it's also about you. And it's televised! We're the only fashion show in the entire world that's on TV. So it's just a different world!"
