It Pays to Be Gisele Bundchen

May 1, 2008

Between her sunglasses and conveniently windblown locks, Gisele Bundchen looked effortlessly fabulous as she headed out of the airport in Berlin today. Just another day in the life of a jet-setting supermodel, who continues to outpace all her colleagues. Forbes named Gisele the highest-earning model, raking in over $35 million in the past 12 months with No. 2 Heidi Klum making less than half of that. Gisele's scored the number one spot before and while she's not slowing down anytime soon, we think this calls for a lavish vacation in some remote tropical location.

Gisele is incredible! GORGEOUS! What makes her even more gorgeous: she doesn't want to look like a fashion magazine photoshoot. She wears normal clothes, she is a normal people! But in jeans and t-shirts, she is a lot more prettier than many of girls, cause she has style and attitude! Where her money come from? Well, from so many campaings she does.. To name a feel: D&G, Versace, Ebel, Ipanema, Vogue Eyewear, Stefanel, Vero Moda, Colcci... and many of others! Not enough? Her Ipanema Gisele Bundchen sandals give her 6million dollars a year! She is pretty damn smart, if she wasn't, she wouldn't get so far...

I just cant believe they pay her so much!!! There many other beautiful women out there that can kick her tine ass not being noticed. what a waste of $! I guess that is why nobody likes her.

Others like Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima, Alessandro Ambrosio, and my favorite, Petra Nemcova, are so much hotter than her!

at first glance i thought she was a male rock star type, with her angular face and those boy type clothes you can't blame me!

Read somewhere she makes over 5mil/yr just on her line of sandals. As far as her brains and diction, that's funny: the girl speaks 5 languages, English not being primary, which means she's got some brains. She wouldn't be making all that money if she wasn't bringing in the sales/money for the people paying her those contracts. There are loads of beautiful models so I give her credit for lasting this long.

Rafaela- Hola! I contend she has intelligent people managing her money. I would be highly surprised if she or her handlers are doing any real estate flips in this down market. I've never been impressed with her brains or diction. On the other hand, she does have glamazon appeal.

I don't think she's ugly but I think many other models should be making much more than her..but modeling industry doesn't look at how pretty you are but how good you can model and sell their products..her outfit here is ugly, I wouldn't wear anything she has on there, very boring and plain. I've always liked her hair though. It looks healthy and soft, not pin straight and fried like so many girls like to do their hair these days.

I'll say it once, I'll say it again: Gisele is ugly. Period. For a Brazilian, she has no curves...they always pose her with her hips pushed out to the one side to create the illusion of a feminine shape...and her face, let's not even go there. Her scraggly hair? Please.

ilanac13 and sammiebear,most of people don't know but gisele, apparently, is the "queen" of real state....she said once that one of her favorite things was buying a place, change the whole thing and sell it more expensive...Dublin62505 doesn't know but the girl is pretty damn smart....after all, 35 mil is not for everyone...

I have to admit, she is beautiful. But I do believe there are more beautiful women out there. And where does this money come from?The only thing I ever see her in is D&G ads. She's no longer with Victoria's Secret. So, who's paying her? Who is she endorsing? I just think her money is sometimes undeserved.

i don't understand how she's making so much money compared to the others. she's got endorsements - that i get - but what about all the stuff that kate or heidi does...that should amount to a lot of $$

I love her hair. It looks so beachy and effortless. I don't find her conventionally beautiful but she obviously has what is takes to rake in the big bucks and Tom Brady.

Gisele is gorgeous and I always see people posting here saying they hate her, saying she looks awful (!!!!!!)! I cAnt understand why people in America, love to bash her! Maybe because she's not a drug addicted and always involved in scandals like Britney, Lindsay, Paris, etc. it sucks that in 10 years of a successfull career she only dated 2 guys (seriously,not talking about affairs) and it sucks that she's always with the family and always working! Maybe if she was a litte bit crazier, people would like her more! But I admire her ( a lot) just like the way she is ! Great Gisele!

I wouldn't describe Gisele as flawless after all she is dating Tom Brady. Also, I think she is attractive as long as she doesn't speak. All of that sex appeal flies out the window when she opens up her trap. I'm more astonished 'crack head blow queen trippin' bars' Kate Moss rakes in a cool 7.5 mil for her nasty arse. It's appalling!!!
