She is the goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme.[7] In the late 1990s, B?ndchen became the first in a wave of Brazilian models to find international success.[8] In 1999, Vogue dubbed her "The Return of the Sexy Model", and she was credited with ending the "heroin chic" era of modeling. B?ndchen was one of Victoria's Secret Angels from 2000 until mid-2007. Since 2004, she has been the highest-paid model in the world, and is the sixteenth richest woman in the entertainment industry (as of 2007)[9] with an estimated $150?million fortune.[1]

Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell have stated that B?ndchen is the only true remaining "supermodel".[10] In 2012 she placed first on the Forbes top-earning models list, estimated to have earned $45?million in one year.[11] As an occasional actress, she had supporting roles in Taxi (2004) and The Devil Wears Prada (2006). From 2000 to 2005, B?ndchen was in a much-publicized relationship with American actor Leonardo DiCaprio.[12] She married New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in 2009.

## Family and early life[edit]

B?ndchen is a sixth-generation German Brazilian,[13] born in Tr?s de Maio, Rio Grande do Sul, to V?nia Nonnenmacher, a bank clerk pensioner, and Valdir B?ndchen, a university teacher and writer.[14] B?ndchen was born and raised in Horizontina, a southern region in Brazil where there is a large ethnic German community.[15][16] She grew up with her five sisters?Raquel, Graziela, Gabriela, Rafaela, and her fraternal twin Patr?cia, her junior by five minutes.[17] She speaks Portuguese as her native language, in addition to Spanish and English. She studied German in school, but has not been regularly using that language.[13]

In 1993 B?ndchen joined a modeling course with her sisters Patr?cia and Gabriela, at their mother's insistence.[18] The following year, B?ndchen was discovered by the Elite modeling agency at a shopping mall in S?o Paulo while on a school excursion. She was subsequently selected for a national contest, Elite Look of the Year,[19] in which she placed second. Claudia Menezes from Bahia took first place. B?ndchen placed fourth in the Elite Model Look world contest, held in Ibiza, Spain.[19] She then moved to S?o Paulo to launch her modeling career.

She made the cover of the French edition of Vogue, and fashion magazine i-D featured her on its cover, profiling "A Girl Called Gisele."[20] Vogue magazine's online encyclopedia of models states, "As the year 2000 approached, Gisele B?ndchen was the world?s hottest model, opening up a new category in the popular imagination: the Brazilian bombshell."[20] By 2000, her going rate was reportedly already up to $7,000 an hour.[20]

## Personal life[edit]

From 2000 to 2005, B?ndchen was in a relationship with American actor Leonardo DiCaprio.[12] In 2004, B?ndchen and DiCaprio made People's annual Most Beautiful Couples List.[100]

In December 2006, she began dating New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, while Bridget Moynahan was pregnant with Brady's child. On 26 February 2009, B?ndchen married Brady in a small Catholic ceremony at St. Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica, California.[101] On 5 April 2009, the couple remarried in a larger ceremony in Costa Rica, with Brady's son present.[102] In 2009, B?ndchen gave birth in Boston to their son, who was named Benjamin Rein Brady.

## Controversy[edit]

She caused controversy when she claimed that while inducing her first child naturally, the process "wasn't painful, not even a little bit."[106][107]

B?ndchen told Harper's Bazaar that breastfeeding should be a "worldwide law",[108] but later moderated her comments on her blog, stating: "My intention [was to] make a comment about the importance of breastfeeding".[109]

In 2008, following the loss to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII, some writers in the Boston area began discussing a "Gisele Jinx", facetiously blaming the Patriots' losses on quarterback Brady's new wife. ABC News did a story on the history of such "jinxes", comparing the Patriots situation with that faced by the Dallas Cowboys and Jessica Simpson, and in other examples throughout history.[110] The story concluded that such jinxes are baseless, but Patriots fans and detractors from continued to discuss the matter,[111] especially after a second loss to the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI. Brady and the Patriots have not won another Super Bowl since B?ndchen and Brady began dating,[112] and at least one columnist for the Business Insider has jokingly suggested that the relationship may be cursed, as Brady (who was 3?0 in Super Bowls before B?ndchen) has failed for five straight years to win another NFL championship.[113] Sports of Boston speculated that "the Gisele Jinx" came along just in time to replace the Curse of the Bambino.[114]

After Super Bowl XLVI and the heckling of several Giants fans, B?ndchen was caught on video saying, in private conversation, "My husband cannot fucking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time!"[115][116] The comment, which was widely publicized both in the traditional media[117][118] and the blogosphere,[119][120] caused a media stir. The New York Times to dubbed her "The Typhoid Mary of the Web".[121]
