About Adriana Lima

Lima never thought about being a model, although she had won many beauty pageants in elementary school. However, a friend at school wanted to enter a modeling contest and did not want to enter alone, and so Lima entered with her. Both sent in pictures, and the contest sponsor soon asked Lima to come out for the competition.

Adriana Lima has an estimated net worth of $100 million dollars, as of 2023. She earned $6 million in 2013, placing her third among supermodels in terms of earnings, according to Forbes. She earned $8 million in 2014, placing her as the second highest paid supermodel in the world.
