According to Celebrity Net Worth, the Brazilian model has a net worth of a whopping $400 million with a salary of $40 million. Bundchen was the 16th richest woman in the entertainment industry in 2007 and was the highest-earning model between 2012 and 2017. She signed a $25 million with Victoria’s Secret in 2000 and has earned over $500 million from sponsorships and endorsem*nts during her career. She modelled not only for Victoria’s Secret, but also for high-end brands like Valentino, Marc Jacobs, Christian Dior, and Dolce & Gabbana.
Bundchen was the spokeswoman for Chanel No. 5 in 2014 and in that same year and into 2015, she appeared in more TV commercials in Brazil than any other celebrity. By 2015, she had already been in over 500 ad campaigns, 800 fashion shows, on 2,000 magazine covers, and 3,500 magazine editorials. She has her own line of designer sandals and owns a hotel in Brazil. She also released a book in 2018 called “My Path to a Meaningful Life”, which was a New York Times bestseller in the U.S. as well as the top-selling book in Brazil for six months. In addition to all of that, she had a short acting career, starring with Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon in the 2004 remake of “Taxi” and playing a part in “The Devil Wears Prada” in 2006.
Bundchen actually has a much higher net worth than Brady, whose net worth is around $250 million. While Gisele was earning $500 million in salary and endorsem*nts between 2000 and 2020, Brady earned $330 million. Combined, the two are worth $650 million.
Now that they are for divorce, the couple had to split their assets, which include a $26 million property portfolio. They have a $17 million home in Miami, a $3.6 million condo in New York City, and a $5.7 million property in Montana, according to Page Six. They also have a vacation home in Costa Rica, which is where Bundchen went to get away from the drama with Brady for a while. One source told Page Six that the couple has already hired lawyers who “are looking at what a split will entail, who gets what, and what the finances will be”.
The realm of celebrity net worth, high-profile divorces, and financial settlements is an intriguing intersection, isn't it? Let's delve into this.
Gisele Bündchen is an icon in the fashion industry. Her career spans decades, and her net worth is indeed an impressive $400 million, largely accrued from modeling contracts with prestigious brands such as Victoria's Secret, Valentino, Marc Jacobs, Christian Dior, and Dolce & Gabbana. Her association with Victoria's Secret, where she signed a groundbreaking $25 million contract in 2000, significantly boosted her career and income.
Beyond modeling, Bündchen expanded her brand through endorsem*nts, including her role as Chanel No. 5's spokeswoman in 2014. Her versatility is evident from her extensive work in advertisem*nts, totaling over 500 campaigns, 800 fashion shows, 2,000 magazine covers, and 3,500 magazine editorials by 2015. She even ventured into entrepreneurship with her line of designer sandals and ownership of a hotel in Brazil.
Her influence extends to literature as well, as evidenced by the success of her book, "My Path to a Meaningful Life," which became a New York Times bestseller in the U.S. and dominated Brazil's bestseller list for six months.
Regarding her acting career, she had notable appearances in "Taxi" (2004) alongside Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon and a role in "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006), showcasing her versatility beyond the runway.
As for the financial aspect, while Gisele's net worth of $400 million surpasses her ex-husband Tom Brady's $250 million, both contributed significantly to their combined worth of $650 million before their divorce. Their property portfolio, including a $26 million portfolio with homes in Miami, New York City, Montana, and a vacation home in Costa Rica, is part of the assets under consideration in their divorce proceedings.
This high-profile separation involves meticulous evaluation by lawyers to determine asset distribution and financial arrangements, a process essential in such cases to ensure an equitable split of their substantial wealth.
The intricate details of their respective careers, earnings, and property holdings illustrate the complexity involved in the division of assets in celebrity divorces. It's an intersection where immense wealth meets the intricacies of legal proceedings and personal lives, capturing the attention of many.
