Born in Brazil in 1980, Gisele Bundchen has a twin sister, Patricia and is the older of the two by a mere five-minutes. She was discovered at the age of 14 and soon became one of the most famous faces in the world, showing up on the covers of magazines such as Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and Rolling Stone. Gisele, however, is more than just a supermodel. She is an entrepreneur and has sold more than 100 million pairs of shoes since 2001.Gisele Bundchen was not always the self-confident model you see today. Growing up in Brazil with her five sisters, Gisele was often picked on for being too skinny. While playing volleyball, which was Gisele’s passion, she was sent to a class to help improve posture at the age of 13. This class was for those aspiring to be models. At age 14, she was seen playing volleyball with Sogipa and Brazilian Elite agents invited her to enter a contest. It was the national Elite Look of the Year contest and Gisele took second place, behind the first-place winner Claudia Menezes of Bahia. Entering into the world contest, Gisele came in fourth place. This was the start of Gisele’s career.
According to Forbes, she is currently the sixteenth richest woman in the entertainment world, having earned $33 million in 2007, adding to her estimated $150 million fortune. She is currently listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the "world's richest supermodel". She is married to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
