Too old? As 30-year-old Victoria's Secret Angel, Miranda Kerr, fields rumors this week that her million-dollar contract won't be renewed, it seems a model's commercial marketability is increasingly short-livedAs Victoria's Secret Angel, Miranda Kerr, fields rumors that her million-dollar contract won't be renewed, just two weeks before her 30th birthday, it seems a model's commercial marketability is increasingly short-lived.
Looking back at some of the brand's most famous Angels, like Gisele Bunchden who stepped down from the lingerie giant at 26, the average age of retirement for an Angel appears to be just 28.375, according to Buzzfeed.
Age of retirement: Laetitia Casta ended her time as a Victoria's Secret Angel at age 21,However with current Victoria's Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio celebrating her 32nd birthday yesterday, the average might just climb, yet.
The analysis was based on eight models, including Laetitia Casta, who ended her time as an Angel at age 21, Tyra Banks, who was 32 when she clipped her wings, Izabel Goulart, who was 24 and Selita Ebanks, who was 27.

Victoria's Secret was rumored to have 'fired' Miss Kerr from her Angel status just before her 30th birthday, because of her purported 'difficulty' and expensive contract - which apparently did not sell enough underwear.
Average Angel age: Izabel Goulart was 24 when she said goodbye to her Angel status, Victoria's Secret President Ed Razek denied the claims, insisting Miss Kerr was one of the company's most popular models and would continue to work as an Angel.
He said in a statement: 'Miranda Kerr is one of the best models in the history of the business — and easily one of the most popular.
