Quick, name one male model. Sorry, Fabio doesn't count. Can't do it? No surprise. Male models, even the few who work at the top of the fashion industry, are unknown to the general public. Unlike their female counterparts, they don't host television shows or represent multi-billion dollar lingerie companies. They also don't bank millions of dollars. Still Forbes has vreated a list of The World's Most Successful Male Models.
No. 10: Cole Mohr
The Texas native is one of the industry's rising stars. Known for his thin, edgy look and tattoos, in 2008 he was named the face of Marc by Marc Jacobs.
No. 9: Taylor Fuchs
The 22-year-old Canadian is the face of Valentino and enjoyed a DKNY Jeans fall ad campaign. The poster boy of last year's list, Fuchs can also be seen in editorial spreads for Details, Arena and V magazines.
No. 8: Jon Kortajarena
At just 24, the smoldering Spaniard is already an established face in the male modeling world. In 2008 he graced the cover of L'Officiel Hommes as well as appearing within the magazine, and in 2009 has shot ad campaigns for Etro, Tom Ford and Diesel.
No. 7: Tyler Riggs
The tall, lean and tattooed Tampa, Fla., native debuted in 2007 and has appeared in ads for Diesel, D&G and Louis Vuitton.
No. 6: Ollie Edwards
Known for his flawless skin and the signature scar across his abdomen, the Brit embodies the classically conservative aesthetic. In 2009, he can be seen in ads for Giorgio Armani, Bennetton and Ralph Lauren.
No. 5: Garrett Neff
The chiseled Delaware native and his six-pack abs followed in the footsteps of Mark Wahlberg, David Beckham and actor Djimon Hounsou last fall when he was named the newest Calvin Klein underwear model.
