Kylie Jenner reportedly received a much bigger payday than Gigi Hadid for the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. An insider claims Jenner earned the biggest paycheck of the night for her surprise runway debut. However, Victoria’s Secret has not confirmed Jenner’s reported paycheck. The company has not publicly disclosed what Jenner, Hadid, or the other models earned for the show.
Source reveals Kylie Jenner’s whooping paycheck for Victoria Secret fashion show
Jenner allegedly received $5 million for roughly five minutes of work, according to Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice. The report claims her fee surpassed those of Hadid, Bella Hadid, and Gisele Bündchen.
“Kylie got the biggest check,” one insider claimed. However, the source did not reveal specific payment figures for the other women. As a result, the reported pay difference between Jenner and Hadid remains unverified.
Jenner made her Victoria’s Secret runway debut during the Oct. 18 show in Los Angeles. She also wore the brand’s $50 million Fantasy Bra, which returned to the runway for the first time since 2018.
The diamond-covered design featured 4,410 natural diamonds, including a large yellow diamond at its center. Meanwhile, Hadid joined several familiar Victoria’s Secret names on the runway, including Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Candice Swanepoel.
Jenner’s debut had already generated plenty of attention before the alleged salary details surfaced. Her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, and mother, Kris Jenner, watched from the audience. Chalamet also drew attention for enthusiastically cheering Jenner during her first Victoria’s Secret walk.
The runway appearance marked another major fashion moment for Jenner, who has built a career beyond reality television and the beauty industry. If the insider’s claim proves accurate, the reported fee would make her appearance even more notable.
Shuter’s report claims Jenner received additional perks backstage. An insider alleged that she had a private dressing room, personal security, and special VIP access during the event.
Victoria’s Secret has not publicly confirmed those perks or disclosed any individual model’s compensation. Neither Jenner nor Hadid has commented on the reported pay difference.
For now, the alleged $5 million payment remains an unverified claim from an anonymous source. Unless Victoria’s Secret or the models disclose their contracts, the claim that Jenner out-earned Hadid cannot be independently verified.
