Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady have made some interesting choices together. While they’ve made several decisions together, one of their most recent ones before getting divorced was an investment into the crypto-currency exchange, FTX. They both took a huge risk in investing in FTX. However, the huge risk they took did not pan out. They went on to invest a huge sum of money into FTX along with an investment of their reputations. After its crash, there were a lot of allegations against all the ambassadors, including Gisele and Brady. However, it was recently revealed by the model that she herself was duped when it came to FTX.

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Gisele spoke about FTX. She revealed the kind of advice she received for the whole investment. She didn’t hold back as she mentioned how she was misled by people close to her.

Interestingly, Gisele had a very hands-on role in FTX. While Brady was the popular face of the exchange platform, Gisele was more involved in the financial and environmental aspects of it.

As the FTX platform for cryptocurrency went down in flames, it also affected Gisele’s net worth and her reputation. While her ex-husband held more than 1.1 million common shares, she herself held more than 686,000 common shares. Interestingly, before the fall of FTX, it was reported that Gisele’s stake in the company was worth about $25 million. Furthermore, equity wasn’t her only connection to the platform. While Brady was an ambassador, Gisele had added responsibilities.

With a huge nod to her previous endeavors towards environmental conservation, Gisele was going to be the Environmental and Social Initiatives Advisor for FTX. Alas, all of these positions and plans went up in smoke when the crypto-exchange platform declared bankruptcy with their CEO Sam Bankman-Fried being brought in under suspicious charges.

While Gisele made it clear that she was ill-advised for the FTX scandal, she also took ownership of her actions. While she did lose a lot of money on the deal, she has gone back to working as a model. It only remains to be seen what developments the FTX case will make to bring about the justice that Gisele spoke of.
