Guide Note

Widely touted as the "world's richest supermodel," Gisele Bundchen has been the face of major brands, including Christian Dior, Docle & Gabbana, Bvlgari and Louis Vuitton.

Bundchen has had no shortage of gentleman suitors. She has been romantically connected to Chris Evans, Leonardo DiCaprio, Josh Hartnett and most recently New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Bundchen's relationship with Brady sparked speculation from the sports world in early 2008 when Brady brought flowers to Bundchen wearing a foot brace in the weeks before Super Bowl XLII.

In April 2008, a topless photo of Bundchen was placed up for auction at New York's Christie's International. The photo depicts Bundchen standing to the side with her right hand on her hip. She looks behind her and her bare backside and right breast are exposed. The photo sold at auction for $193,000.
