From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls.

The annual Victoria's Secret catwalk show is a mere two months away, in the countdown to the event we roundup the Angel's earning power.

News that the Victoria's Secret show is coming to London this December was greeted with as much excitement as the 2012 Olympics, in some circles at least.

But it's not really the lingerie that has viewers tuning in in their millions to see, well not really, rather it's who's wearing the lingerie that has the audience glued.

The Angels that walk the famous catwalk once a year aren't just the rockstars of the modelling world, they've got considerable business empires to their names.

It's no coincidence that 16 of the 21 models that feature in Forbes' 2014 model rich-list currently are, or have been Victoria's Secret Angels.

It's not just the hefty cheque that comes with a Victoria's Secret appearance that these girls are banking; fashion lines, cosmetic brands, tv appearances and even movie roles are some of the additional activities on their CVs.

Here is our roundup of Victoria's Secret's highest earning models:

The 2014 Victoria's Secret show takes place in London Earl's Court for the first time on Sunday 2nd December.

Models confirmed to be taking part this year include Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes, Candice Swanepoel, Lily Aldridge, Behati Prinsloo, Karlie Kloss and Lindsay Ellingson.
