Tom Brady might be the GOAT of the NFL world, but his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen has had an equally monumental impact on the fashion world. The Brazilian supermodel has been an inspiration for aspiring models ever since her early days, and Bündchen did it all with pure class and elegance. But unlike Brady, Bündchen is not done with her craft and is still going strong, even after taking a seven-year sabbatical.
Back when Tom Brady was at the peak of his prowess, Bündchen put her own illustrious career on hold, cheering her husband from the sidelines. While Brady did honor Bündchen’s sacrifice, winning seven Super Bowl rings, his walking away from the NFL reignited the passion Bündchen had for her modeling days again. Now, years later, Gisele Bündchen did share the secrets to her success, and the message is truly inspirational.

Gisele Bündchen’s journey to the top has been nothing short of a movie. Hailing from a farming background, Bundchen was born into a family with six children. Her parents had fairly simple lives, yet Bündchen’s dreams knew no boundaries. The hard work and dedication Bündchen put into honing her craft eventually led her to become the highest-paid model in the world, having earned $386 million since 2001. Yet, the journey wasn’t without its fair share of struggles, but Bündchen was hellbent on carving out a name for herself.
Speaking at a VTEX event in Sao Paulo, Gisele Bündchen shared an inspirational message to the crowd, while reminiscing about the core beliefs she has carried with her.
