How did Gisele get so famous?

Gisele Caroline Bündchen is a Brazilian fashion model. Since 2001, she has been one of the highest-paid models in the world.

In 2007, Bündchen was the 16th richest woman in the entertainment industry and earned the top spot on Forbes’s top-earning models list in 2012. In 2014, she was listed as the 89th Most Powerful Woman in the World by Forbes.

In December 2006, Bündchen began dating NFL quarterback Tom Brady, after a mutual friend introduced them on a blind date. The couple married on 26 February 2009 in a small ceremony at St. Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica, California.

In April 2009, the couple had a second marriage ceremony, in Costa Rica. Bündchen and Brady have two children: a son (born 2009), and a daughter (born 2012). She is the stepmother of Brady’s first son (born in 2007) from a previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.

In 1994, at age 14, Bündchen was spotted in a shopping mall by a modelling agent for Elite Model Management, one of the largest modelling agencies in the world.

In 1995 she entered the agency’s Look of the Year modelling contest (later renamed Elite Model Look), in which she placed second nationally and fourth globally.

The following year Bündchen moved to New York City to launch a professional modelling career and soon thereafter made her runway debut at New York Fashion Week—one of the industry’s four major semiannual events.

In 1997 Bündchen appeared on the cover of the Brazilian edition of the leading fashion magazine Vogue (October), gaining industry recognition.

Despite a more curvaceous figure that stood in stark contrast to the waifish frames than in style, Bündchen continued to appear on the covers of the industry’s leading publications.
