Gisele Bundchen is expected to become the world's first billionaire model, according to Forbes magazine. The Brazilian beauty - who used to date actor Leonardo DiCaprio and is now married to Tom Brady, with who she has son Benjamin, 18 months - has been named by Forbes magazine as the first women to earn the figure, according to US currency rates, due to a combination of modelling work, endorsement deals and design work.
In addition to campaigns for Swedish high street brand H&M and Italian fashion brand Versace, she has also made millions for selling 250 million pairs of her flip-flops for the Ipanema brand. She also has a lingerie line and a beauty care range - Sejaa Pure Skincare - which is rumoured to be for sale. Last month Gisele was named the highest earning model in the world for the seventh year in a row. She is thought to have earned $45 million over one year, having become the face of hair care brand Pantene in March 2010 and pushing sales up in South America by 40 per cent.
