The World's Highest Paid Models

Just like last year, the Brazilian bombshell Bündchen leads the pack with a stunning $45 million in earnings (all estimates from May 1st, 2011 to May 1st, 2012). Even in her early thirties, Bündchen remains an unparalleled force within the fashion world. As the world’s most powerful supermodel, she racks up modeling gigs, spokesperson deals, and independent licensing ventures at every turn. The veritable endorsement queen shills for brands such as Pantene, Esprit, and Versace, and makes a percentage of profits on Ipanema flip-flops and other products bearing her name. While in the United States many know her as the wife of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, Bündchen’s effect as a spokesperson, especially in her native Brazil, can make a huge difference.

Bündchen’s success combining business with modeling is influencing young, ascendant models. “The ones that are coming up, their model for excellence is Gisele. They’re looking at her and saying ‘that’s what I want to shoot for,’” Razek said.

Seems like she stuck to her 45 million

No. 1 - Gisele Bündchen

Even in her early thirties, Gisele Bündchen remains an unparalleled force within the fashion world. As the world's most powerful supermodel, she racks up modeling gigs, endorsement deals, and independent licensing ventures, but still has time to be a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Environmental Program. Bündchen's marriage to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady also writes headlines; after the 2012 Super Bowl, she landed in hot water over critical marks she made about the lackluster performance of Brady's receivers. The veritable endorsement queen, especially in her native Brazil, shills for brands such as Pantene, Esprit, and Versace, and makes a percentage of profits on Ipanema flip-flops and other products bearing her name.

I like Ed's quote. He always gives a nice word on her to Forbes lol.

I still don´t understand how do they get their numbers. Gisele herself one stated that it´s a total nonsense she too wanted to know how do they get her earnings, lol

They told once on Forbes how they get their info,.They talk to whoever they can pretty much. bookers,agents,companies.

@JimmyTraina

Transcribing Tom Brady interview. I asked him if he'd discuss whether Gisele is pregnant. His answer: "I like working on it."

what an answer

Thank you Miche for info

kinda confused,don't know when it was exactly!

Gisele Bundchen launches shantytown model search

Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen on Tuesday launched a contest to discover new talent in Brazil's shantytowns, promising to reward the winner with a modeling contract.

"I feel privileged to be the sponsor of this project," Bunchen said, recalling that she had been rejected by 42 agents in London at the start of her career, when she was only 17.

"I was finally taken on on the 43rd try," said the now 34-year-old, on hand for the contest launch with 30 women aged 18 to 22 vying for fame and fortune.

The contest is organized by the Central Union of Slums (CUFA) and a beauty products maker and aims "to boost slum dwellers's self-esteem."

"You have to know your good side for photos... to feel comfortable in your own skin to be beautiful and to have a lot of perseverance," she told contestants.

In a second phase of the challenge, a jury will choose one model from each of Brazil's 27 states. The final will be held in Rio in August or September.

"Even if she is white, Bundchen's being here is important because she is from Brazil where there is great racial diversity and she is renowned worldwide," contestant Rafaella Lemes, 19, from Rocinha shantytown, told AFP.

Annual summer fashion shows in Rio that opened on May 22 with bikini collections celebrating beach fun were marred this year by protests against the underrepresentation of black models on the catwalks.
