Maxim‘s Hot 100 list is out, and it’s no surprise — a Victoria’s Secret model landed at the top of the list. Candice Swanepoel jumped from No. 64 on the list back in 2013 to No. 1 this year.

“It’s a huge honor to be Maxim’s number one, among so many beautiful and talented women! It’s a great feeling,” Swanepoel said in a statement via Maxim.
The 25-year-old not only has beauty, but she has earning power. She came in 10th on Forbes’ top-earning models list back in 2012, and No. 9 in 2013. She was named a Victoria’s Secret Angel back in 2010, and has also modeled for the Kardashian’s swimwear line.
“Candice Swanepoel is the ideal embodiment of the new Maxim brand: stunning, sophisticated, elegant,” said Paul Martinez, creative director for Maxim. “It’s not only her flawless beauty and effortless grace that have garnered her the coveted 2014 Hot 100 Number 1 placement, but also her business acumen. She has risen to become one of the world’s top supermodels and has transcended the accolade to become a global brand. It’s hard to imagine a woman more perfect.”
