Gisele Bündchen

Model

Gisele Bündchen appeared four times on the cover of Vogue in 1999, becoming one of the year's most celebrated models in the process. The next year Rolling Stone magazine labelled her "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World." Bündchen has been featured in high-profile campaigns for Guess and Victoria's Secret, among other products. In 2006 Forbes called her the highest paid model in the business and put her at the top of a list of a new breed of entrepreneur/supermodels.
