Doutzen Kroes is a Dutch fashion model who rose from a 2003 debut in the Netherlands to a New York casting with Victoria’s Secret, becoming an Angel from 2008 to 2014 — the second Dutch woman after Karen Mulder to hold the title. A L’Oréal Paris ambassador since 2006, she has ranked among the highest-paid models since 2008, topping $5 million annually and placing second on Forbes’ 2014 top-earning list with an estimated $8 million. In 2013 she became the first model to land four solo international Vogue September covers in a single year, a feat that still anchors her reputation.

HELLO! Magazine includes her among Victoria’s Secret icons who prove the 40s can be a career peak, while 20Minutos spotlights her in backstage footage from the brand’s fashion show alongside Irina Shayk and Gigi Hadid. Saywhomedia.com notes her front-row appearance at Isabel Marant with Jourdan Dunn, underscoring her continued presence at major runway events.

She sits at #33 on the hottest models list, with Wikipedia page views averaging 2 K views per day. The combination of historic Victoria’s Secret tenure, record-setting Vogue covers, sustained high earnings and ongoing front-row visibility keeps her firmly placed.
