On Monday, March 17, 2025, Karlie Kloss, supermodel and entrepreneur, took to her Instagram to share the news that she is expecting her third child with her husband, Joshua Kushner (businessman and investor). The couple, who married in 2018, already share two sons, Levi (4) and Elijah (19 months).

Though the current net worth of the second-highest-paid supermodel of 2018 is not publicly available, Celebrity Net Worth reports her 2024 net worth as $40 million. Her income sources mainly include her business ventures, modeling work, and brand endorsements.

Karlie Kloss, 32, who entered the modeling world at the age of 13, is now more than just a model—she is an entrepreneur. She is also known for her nonprofit work, such as "Kode with Klossy," a camp launched in 2016 that aims to teach young girls coding and programming to encourage more women to enter tech fields.

A Cosmopolitan article citing The Daily Mail suggests that in 2015, Karlie Kloss was paid about $299 for every step she took on the runway. In 2016, Kloss, along with Kendall Jenner, reportedly earned about $10 million as a model. In 2018, Kloss was the second-highest-paid model in the world, with approximately $14 million in pre-tax/pre-fee earnings, trailing only Kendall Jenner, who earned about $22.5 million.

According to Cosmopolitan, as a Victoria's Secret Angel, she supposedly made about $5 million a year. However, she left the brand in 2015, believing that its image was not "truly reflective" of who she is. In 2019, she hosted Project Runway, and though her salary was not made public, Cosmopolitan reported that it likely wasn’t too far from the contestants’ prize of $250,000.

Though she does not actively walk in runway shows anymore, she remains involved in entrepreneurial activities and brand endorsements. Multiple outlets report that she has a large number of brand endorsements, ranging from Nike to Swarovski and more.

Beyond modeling, Kloss has built a career through business ventures, partnerships, and investments. According to Celebrity Net Worth, in 2020, she joined a group of investors to acquire ownership of W Magazine and has since been actively involved in its direction and operations.

In 2023, she reportedly acquired i-D, a British fashion magazine, and became its Chief Executive Officer. In 2024, according to Wikipedia, she and her husband revived Life Magazine via Bedford Media.
