Janice Man Beats Angelababy + Theresa Fu to be Highest Earning Pretty Model

2008 has seen new models taking the chance to move themselves up the ranks, to become the new generation of ‘money eating’ models. Although they do not have the price tags of a ‘heavenly queen’, they are attractive with their youth and countless young male fans, hence winning themselves endless endorsements, advertisements, shopping mall shows and sponsorship deals. Nowadays, their faces are everywhere to be seen. So who is the biggest ‘money eating pretty model’? Firstly, here’s an overview of the top 3:

Janice Man
After shooting to popularity in the past year, Janice has constantly been making real money. Her price to appear at a shopping mall event has significantly risen to HK$30 000 and it seems it is an endless job supply. While her good friend, Angelababy works overseas on her photo book, Janice stayed in Hong Kong to be the only ‘goddess’ in town. In one month, Janice appears at least 8 shopping mall functions and at most, she appeared at 3 shows every week.
Although there does not seem be a significant increase in the number of advertisement or endorsement deals but her price tag is no longer what it use to be. Janice is now charging at least over a six figure amount. Meanwhile, Janice’s movie See You in Youtube made $5 000 000 at the box office early in the year, propelling her original movie pay check of $80 000 to the $150 000 she received from shooting La Lingerie. It is no wonder that Janice revealed that she had already made her first million in July this year.
She expressed that she had no idea how much she had earned, “however, I am making double than what I use to. I wanted to buy my own apartment but I do buy shares, mostly Chinese life insurance and iron companies. So I did lose some money and will have to till until next year to see if the market gets better.”
