Tom Brady's Wife

Tom Brady has been one of the most defining players in the National Football League (NFL) in the last two decades as he carved a legacy for being the most successful quarterback in the game. The seven-time Super Bowl champion holds a record five Super Bowl MVP awards. Brady announced his retirement from the game early in 2022 but soon reversed his decision as he felt like he had more to give to the sport he holds close to his heart. This might have been the reason that led to the split between Brady and his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.

Who Is Tom Brady's Ex-Wife, Gisele Bündchen?

Tom Brady’s ex-wife is Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen. She is an activist and businesswoman as well. She was born on 20 July 1980 in Horizontina, the Rio Grande do Sul, Southern Brazil. Her mother Vânia was a bank clerk pensioner, and her father Valdir Bündchen was a sociologist and writer. She has five sisters, one of whom is her fraternal twin.

She was only a teenager when she began her modeling career. She aspired to be a volleyball player but in 1993 in hopes to correct her bad posture, her mother insisted she join a modeling course along with two of her sisters. To launch her modeling career, she moved to São Paulo. There, she was discovered by Elite Model Management at a shopping mall in 1994, and after working with them for a couple of months, Bundchen was selected for a national contest known as the Elite Model Look (then known as Look of the Year), in which she secured second place.

She earned her first break in the 1996 New York Fashion Week at only 14 years old. Bündchen left Elite Model Management in 1999 and switched to IMG Models as she was no longer satisfied with Elite's work environment.

In 2000, Bündchen officially retired from Fashion Week runway shows, and signed a $25 million deal with Victoria's Secret, and became one of the highest-paid models in the world. The same year she was named "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" by Rolling Stone magazine. By then she had already posed for Alexander McQueen, Missoni, Gianfranco Ferré, Chloé, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, and Versace campaigns.

She was also featured on the covers of the Paris, U.S., and British editions of Vogue. For Victoria's Secret, Bündchen wore the Red Hot Fantasy Bra, worth $15 million, which was later listed in Guinness World Records as the most expensive lingerie ever created. In May 2007, Bündchen ended her contract with Victoria's Secret.

She continued her success with many high-profile shoots and modeling campaigns and also went on to star in some movies and music videos by famous artists. Bündchen was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by Time magazine in 2007 while Forbes listed her 53rd as one of the most powerful celebrities, the same year.

What is Gisele Bündchen's net worth?

From her modeling and endorsement career alone, she has reportedly earned $500 million. This does not include her real estate assets and various other non-liquid investments, which would add up to be even higher.

The Brazilian supermodel has also been involved with lucrative fragrance and beauty deals with Chanel and Carolina Herrera and became the spokeswoman for Chanel No. 5 in May 2014. Along with her own line of lingerie and skincare, she is undoubtedly one of fashion's top earners. She also launched a line of designer sandals under the Brazilian footwear company Grendene, called Ipanema, and owns the Brazilian hotel Palladium Executive.
