It takes a lot to be a Victoria's Secret angel. It's not the easiest job to land and it's got a lot of modeling to do, more so than the normal kind of model. Contracts with VS reportedly http://pagesix.com/2015/02/24/underpaid-victorias-secret-angels-fly-the-coop/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">start around $100,000, but the top earners are actually doing very good. And the other perk of being an angel: it opens up the doors for other contracts elsewhere.
