Victoria’s Secret: ubiquitous underwear brand famous for extravagant runway shows – and millionaire models? Sixteen of the 21 models on Forbes’ highest-paid models ranking have modeled or currently model for the label, which was built by Leslie “Les” Wexner, a media-shy midwestern billionaire.
Responsible for turning Victoria’s Secret, Pink, Express Express and The Limited into American retail fortunes, Wexner is worth an estimated $6.2 billion. He has also single-handedly helped shape the world’s highest-earning model ranking, thanks to the seven figure contracts his lingerie maker distributes.

Inquisitr claims there’s a rare chance that Kate Middleton would “strut around in sheer bottoms with crotchet edges and a bra with crafted embellishments.” With the Duchess on her second pregnancy, she may have to wait after giving birth to even try on the racy lingerie, if she wanted to. Additionally, if she ever decides to wear one, Inquisitr said the Duchess would have to be cautious of another wardrobe malfunction; otherwise, it would be May all over again, when her “bare” bottom landed on a German publication, according to the site. Furthermore, Queen Elizabeth reportedly “nearly had a coronary” when she learned that Britney Spears wanted the Duchess to wear the sexy undergarments.
Britney Spears reportedly told the press that the sexiest item among her lingerie designs is the cherry red, saying, “it stands out and it’s very elaborate and it’s pretty promiscuous.” Aside from Kate Middleton, Britney Spears also chose former No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani. She claimed she would also love to see the rocker modelling her sexy lingerie collection. Check out the lingerie collection in the video below.
