Gisele recalled the moments in her book, Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life. She wrote the phone buzzed one day. Her mother called, and she seemed enraged. Gisele’s credit card was linked to hers, and the statement had just arrived. Bündchen was gaining attention as a model and growing her portfolio, but she wasn’t generating any income. Gisele usually made around a hundred bucks after doing some shows or appearing in periodicals.
Mothers are the best teachers
Bündchen mentioned, “I had a little money I’d socked away from working in Japan, and my agency gave me advances they deducted from whatever jobs I got, but my mom and I still shared a joint account, since she felt I was too young to be completely in charge of my own finances. That’s how she learned I’d just spent three thousand dollars at a store called American Kennel, and Gise, do you know how much money that is, and what in heaven’s name are you thinking? I felt my whole stomach cramp up. I hadn’t noticed that extra zero.”

The supermodel also said she could still hear her mother’s voice. She understood the valuation of a dollar because she served as a bank teller.
