No idea on specifics, he probably is less known. But he is known to a significant portion of the population
he is not as active now, and the world was not as global, so sponsorships would have made less sense in his prime
he had his wcc recently, so hes just taking a break
He already mafe 750.000 on his match with anand...
I seen all kind of sponsorship names on his suit, that's a great part of it, I guess

Marketing and media manipulation go a long way in determining those "sexiest" or "best dressed" lists. Cultural bias also plays a factor. How many men and women on that list are White and Western?
As far as the modelling work, he may get more offers because he is the World Chess Champion. Carlsen would be foolish to accept any modelling offers now. The "King" has a reputation to uphold and has much less leeway in what he can publicly do, as it were.
Just for the record, both Messrs Capablanca and Fischer were more handsome than Carlsen.
Nope, Carlsen is much better looking. http://magnuscarlsen.com/gallery/

To Wasted Youth; I have reported him to staff.

Hey, whatever floats your boat.
I agree with your first paragraph regarding the marketing and media manipulation and the white/western aspect of those "sexiest" lists. However, I'm not so much in agreement with your second paragraph. I don't think he has any less leeway in what he can publicly do now.
