If this is the first time you have heard of Gisele Bündchen than I pity you. If this is the first time you have seen Gisele Bündchen than I think it’s time you seriously reexamine your life. Gisele is an absolutely stunning Brazilian woman who is also the highest paid model in the world. In fact, the Germans actually came up with a term just for Gisele. They call it ubermodel (that’s bigger than supermodel!). She’s that hot.

Rumor has it that Gisele was eating a big Mac in McDonald’s when a talent agent discovered her. Since then she has been traveling to every city that has a catwalk. During her lucrative career many different fashion companies have sponsored her, such as Dolce & Gabbana, Bclgari, Strenesse, Christian Dior, Missoni and Ralph Lauren.

According to Forbes, she is the highest-paid model in the world and also the sixteenth richest woman in the entertainment world,having earned $33 million in 2007 and $35 million in 2008 alone, adding to her estimated $150 million fortune. She is also listed on Guinness Book of World Records as the world`s richest supermodel. Bündchen has been the face of more than 20 brands internationally and has appeared on more magazine covers than any other supermodel.

But being rich has not made Gisele a loner. She loves to hang out with her supermodel friends when she goes out for a night on the town. She considers Tyra Banks, Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, and Rebecca Romijn as her close friends.

Her on-again off-again relationship with pretty boy Leonardo DiCaprio officially ended in 2005 and since then Giselle has been seen with pro surfer Kelly Slater and, more recently All American quarterback Tom Brady.
