Despite Retiring From the Ramp in 2015 to Support Tom Brady’s Career, How Does Former Highest Paid Supermodel Gisele Bündchen Earn $44 Million a Year?

Gisele Bündchen is a veteran model who still stays relevant in the world of new-generation models. The former runway model worked in the fashion industry for two decades. Right after her runway debut in 1996, she became the most desired and famous model overnight. Since she’s a world-renowned model, she amassed great wealth over the years. With a net worth of $400 million as of 2022 and a salary of $44 million, one certainly wonders where does she earn all her money from?

Gisele Bündchen became a model at the young age of 14. All the hard work she did is bearing fruits because her bank balance is huge! After her overnight success, she got the deal of a lifetime. The 19-year-old was confused. Understandably, because the mega-successful lingerie brand, Victoria’s Secret, offered her a deal of a whopping $25 million. She certainly was enticed. However, accepting that deal meant that the supermodel won’t ever work in fashion. Because in the 2000s era, a model did either catalogs or fashion.

What did La Bündchen do?

Bündchen made a tough choice and became the most successful Victoria’s Secret Angel. And that is not all! Forbes named Gisele the highest-paid model for fourteen consecutive years! If that’s not impressive, then what is? But that is not all! Before the social media influencers, some supermodels racked up millions of dollars to collaborate with high-end brands.

Even after retiring from the runway, she continues to earn major bags through her other fashion endeavors.

What else did Gisele Bündchen work on?

Gisele served as Chanel No 5’s spokesperson in 2014. According to Celebrity Net Worth, she also made more TV commercial appearances in Brazil in 2015 than any other celebrity. By the year’s end, she was featured in over 500 ad campaigns, 800 runway shows, 2,000 magazine covers, and 3,500 magazine editorials.

Also, the Brazilian beauty wrote her memoir, Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life. It instantly became a New York Times Bestseller. Just another badge to her name.
