Ten Months After Divorcing Tom Brady, $400M Gisele Bündchen Marches Forward to Become the Modeling GOAT of the World

Exactly 10 months have passed since the NFL and modeling icons ended their 13-year marriage. The conclusion of last October brought distressing news for fans of the once-beloved couple, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen. However, the Amazonian beauty made a triumphant return to the fashion scene shortly after.

Gisele’s resurgence marked an extraordinary moment for the model, as campaigns flooded in one after another. Her most recent accomplishment includes a campaign with ‘Victoria’s Secret’, reigniting her association with the brand after she retired from her Angel Wings 16 years back. With an array of endorsements and contracts on her horizon, she has ascended to the summit of the modeling world, earning her place as the definitive modeling GOAT, reigning supreme over both New York City and Los Angeles.

The modeling GOAT is back!

With an impressive fortune of $400 million, the Brazilian model claims the title of the second highest-paid in her field. And rightfully so. Following her triumphant return with Victoria’s Secret for their new ‘icon’ line, she has maintained her reign over the world, particularly in the vibrant landscapes of New York City and Los Angeles.

As highlighted by a Gisele Bündchen fan page on Twitter, this runway luminary, alongside fellow modeling superstar Naombi Champell, holds dominion over these cities, with their larger-than-life banners adorning the facades of towering New York City and Los Angeles buildings. The tweet aptly reads, “Different time zones, same legendary campaign. The Icons have gone bicoastal and are on display in both New York City and Los Angeles.”

This accomplishment follows Bündchen’s previous collaboration with the brand, which concluded in 2007, before her recent resurgence. However, there was a time when the modeling icon wasn’t confident in her clothes.

Bündchen wasn’t comfortable wearing lingerie?

Bündchen, who held the title of the highest-paid model globally for a remarkable 15 consecutive years, penned her initial contract with Victoria’s Secret at the tender age of 19. The runway monarch shared in an interview, “For the first five years, I felt comfortable modeling in lingerie, but as time went on, I felt less and less at ease being photographed walking the runway wearing just a bikini or a thong.”

Bündchen candidly acknowledged her growing discomfort with more revealing attire. She was the person who asked for something to cover her up during the shows. However, as time progressed, this icon of the fashion world emerged as the reigning queen, exuding confidence and grace in every ensemble she wore.

From 1999 to 2006, Gisele Bündchen graced the ranks of Victoria’s Secret Angels, a tenure that preceded her encounter with then-Patriots QB Tom Brady and the subsequent blossoming of their romantic connection.
