Elite Model Management found Bündchen in a shopping mall in So Paulo, Brazil, in 1994. She is one of five sisters. At the time, Bündchen, who grew up in Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil, wanted to be a volleyball player, but she took a modeling class with her sisters Patricia and Gabriela to fix her posture. After being found by Elite, Bündchen was chosen to compete in a national contest called “Look of the Year” with the same agency. She came in second in the competition, and when she was 14 she moved to So Paulo to start her career as a model. In 1996, Bündchen walked in her first show, which was the New York Fashion Show. Since then, she has had a lot of success.
In the years that followed, Bündchen went on to model for Alexander McQueen, Missoni, Chloé, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, and Versace. She also wrote for fashion magazines like British Vogue and Vogue Paris. In 1999, Bündchen stopped working with Elite and started working with IMG Models. That same year, Bündchen posed with Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, and Claudia Schiffer for her first American Vogue cover. In 2000, Bündchen was chosen to be a Victoria’s Secret Angel for the first time. She worked for the brand until 2007 when she stopped being an angel.

What Is Gisele Bündchen’s Net Worth?
Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen has a net worth of $400 million. That money is not part of the $250 million fortune that her husband Tom Brady has. The Bundchen-Bradys are worth a total of $650 million between them. Between 2000 and 2020, his first 20 years in the NFL, Tom Brady made $330 million between his salary and endorsements. Gisele made more than $500 million during the same period.
She was one of the first models from Brazil who were both very popular and very smart. She set the standard for all Brazilian models after her, and she is a big reason why models from that part of the world have such a good name. They are known for being smart, patient, always professional, and good at running a business. She showed them all the way. She has built up a big business over the years, and many people think she is the last great “supermodel.”
She has worked with many well-known designers, created a new way to walk down the runway, and brought back the idea of a “curvy” model after years when skinny models were the norm. She is now one of Victoria’s Secret’s most famous faces, has her line of flip-flops, has been in movies and videos, and has produced her show. She is a Goodwill Ambassador, and she owns property in more than one country.

Real Estate
Massachusetts:
Tom and Gisele bought a lot in Brookline, Massachusetts, for $4.5 million in May 2013. The lot is in a neighborhood with gates. They then had a 10,000-square-foot mansion built just for them. They put this house on the market in August 2019 for $39.5 million. At the time this was written, it still hadn’t sold. Check out this video:
In 2006, Tom bought a building in Boston for $6.24 million. Then, he spent $11.5 million to turn the nine condos in the building into four condos. In 2011 he sold the penthouse for $9.3 million. Three of the other units were sold for a total of $8 million.
Brentwood:
In 2009, Tom and Gisele spent $9 million on a piece of land in LA’s Brentwood neighborhood that wasn’t being used for anything. Over the next three years, they spent an additional $20 million constructing a 14,000-square-foot home which they ended up living in for less than a year. The mansion, which was built from scratch out of acid-washed limestone, sits on a parcel of land overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The home features hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, open-beamed ceilings, multiple fireplaces, a state-of-the-art kitchen, a large gym, airy, marble-tiled bathrooms, and multiple large closets. Outside the house, there is a moat with koi in it, a large pool, a motor court made of reclaimed stones that can only be reached by driving over a small bridge, and beautifully landscaped grounds. The whole house is good for the environment because it uses solar power and grey-water technology. It was also made out of reclaimed materials that were good for the environment.
In May 2014, Dr. Dre paid $50 million to buy the land from them. Not a bad way to make $21 million. Here’s a tour of their old Brentwood mansion taken by a drone:
New York City:
In 2018, Tom and Gisele paid $25.5 million for a New York City apartment on the 12th floor.
In December 2020, they sold this unit for $40 million. They still own a smaller unit in the same building. It has 4,300 square feet of living space and looks out over the Hudson River.
Florida:
In late 2020, Tom and Gisele paid $17 million for a two-acre estate on Miami’s ultra-exclusive Indian Creek island, also known as Billionaire Bunker. The 300-acre island has only 34 lots, and there is only one guarded bridge that leads to it. The island is always watched over by a private police force. Tom and Gisele tore down their old mansion of 5,700 square feet so they could build a new one that was much bigger. Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, and billionaire investor Carl Icahn are all close neighbors.
Before Tom and Gisele bought their home in Indian Creek, they rented Derek Jeter’s Tampa mansion for a reported $75,000 a month.
Montana:
Tom and Gisele own a property in Big Sky, Montana, at the Yellowstone Club. Nobody knows what kind of property they have. Homes on the property cost more than $30 million, and condos cost $6 million.
