"In Brazil, where beauty is as highly valued as futebol or the samba, modeling has become an obsession. Modeling courses, makeup workshops and beauty contests are all the rage. Crash diets are in vogue. A dozen big-name modeling agencies like Marilyn have set up shop in São Paulo and deployed an army of talent scouts to beat the pavement for new faces. And from the smallest parish in the southern grain belt to the swank boulevards of Sao Paulo, kids are practicing their posture and perfecting their pouts. Capricho, a glossy teen magazine, recently asked 1,100 Brazilian teenagers if they wanted to become fashion models. Eighty-six percent said yes. The reason for this craze stands 1.77 meters tall and has smoldering blue eyes. Her name is Gisele Bundchen--known to all as Gisele--and she is the most celebrated Brazilian since Pele." it stated. they went onto claim; "It would be difficult to overstate Gisele's impact, not only on Brazil but on the modeling industry as well. Just two years ago the celebrity model looked like an endangered species. The public grew so weary of the pampered princesses that they were pushed off magazine and tabloid covers by pop singers, movie stars, even politicians. Then came Gisele. "She had breasts and hips and great hair," says James Scully, booking editor of Harper's Bazaar. "Men want her. Women want to be her. We haven't had that since Cindy and Naomi." And so the fashionistas swarmed to Brazil for Gisele clones. Fashion Pygmalions are scouring the hinterlands for beauties in the rough. Models with nondescript accents are pretending to be Brazilian. "Everyone asks me if I know her," says Brazilian clothing designer Alexandre Herchcovitch, whose popular label, Zoomp, is selling even better in the age of Gisele. Other Brazilian companies are capitalizing on the babe from Brazil as well. When the giant beverage company Ambev wanted to add some oomph to its New York Stock Exchange debut last week, they called Gisele—not Greenspan—who tossed Ambev caps and blew kisses. Says Herchcovitch: "It's a good time to be Brazilian." To be sure, Brazil's modeling business has changed dramatically since Gisele was a schoolgirl. In the mid-'90s, there were five agencies nationwide. Now there are 11, with branches all over the country and a legion of aggressive scouts."[66] In 2000, Bündchen was dubbed the "Boobs from Brazil" for inspiring the 36,000 breast enhancement surgeries performed that year in Brazil.[67] In 2006, Elle magazine surveyed the American leading stylists and asked them to name the star whose hair was a favourite for their clients. More than 50 percent gave Bündchen the title of best hair in Hollywood.[68] In February 2008 a survey by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) asked the question, "What influences do celebrities have on the decisions patients make?". The survey was sent to more than 20,000 plastic surgeons in 84 countries. Bündchen was among the most frequently mentioned celebrities. Bündchen won the abdomen and hair categories and took second place in the breasts category.[69] 2008 saw a black-and-white photo of Bündchen, shot by Irving Penn, auctioned for $193,000 (£96,000) alongside images of other models and celebrities, including Carla Bruni. Gisele's fetched by far the most on the night.[70] She was voted second place on Vanity Fair's world's most beautiful poll in 2009.[71] In 2010, Bündchen told Harper's Bazaar that breastfeeding should be a "worldwide law",[72] but later moderated her comments on her blog, stating: "My intention [was to] make a comment about the importance of breastfeeding".[73] On January 2011, Bündchen came in first in the most desired female body on the 14th Annual Famed Hottest Looks survey, compiled by Beverly Hills plastic surgeons Dr. Richard Fleming and Dr. Toby Mayer. Even after giving birth in December 2009, her body was the most requested by the doctors' patients. "Different body types are represented on the list because most women are shaped differently and want to look naturally beautiful," explained Dr. Fleming. "Some women want the lean look like Gisele [...]."[74] In 2011, AskMen.com revealed their annual "Most Desirable Women" list. Bündchen, along with Angelina Jolie and Beyoncé Knowles, are the only women to have made the list every year for ten years in a row.[75] singer Beyonce in a 2011 Harper's Bazaar interview named Gisele as one of her fashion inspiration stating that "I always admire Victoria Beckham and Gisele [Bündchen]. Their style is modern but always classic."[76] A designer the Tibi Spring/Summer 2012 fashion show at New York Fashion week in fall 2011 explained, "The inspiration is taken heavily from the '90s—a freshly scrubbed Gisele from the pages of Vogue—clean, crisp, sporty looks and relaxed styles you want to live in."[77] Vogue editor Anna Wintour calleded her the "model of the millennium," and the magazine called her "The return of the sexy model". Rolling Stone declared her "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" in 2000 and Vanity Fair published an article titled "... And God Created Gisele" in 2009.[20] Bündchen pioneered the "horse walk", a stomping movement created when a model picks her knees up high and kicks her feet out in front.[78] In 2012 The 26th edition of Casa Cor in Brazil, one of the world´s biggest decorating, landscaping, and architecture events, paid tribute to Gisele with a wood sculpture in her image.[79] After Super Bowl XLVI and the heckling of several Giants fans, Bündchen was caught on video saying, in private conversation, "My husband cannot fucking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time!"[80][81] The comment, which was widely publicized both in the traditional media[82][83] and the blogosphere,[84][85] caused a media stir.[86] She was ranked #9 on Men's Health Magazine's list of The Hottest Women of 2013.[87] In 2013 GQ Magazine listed her among The 100 Hottest Women of the 21st Century.[88] Endorsements and earnings[edit] After C&A Brazil hired Bündchen as a spokesmodel and began airing television commercials, sales increased by 30 per cent.[89] In 2012 The Hollywood Reporter stated Bundchen became C&A's biggest booster in Brazil and even helped with European sales.[90] In 2001, Bündchen launched Ipanema Gisele Bündchen,[91] her own line of flip-flop sandals in association with the official Ipanema brand of flip-flops. In three years, sales topped $30 million, with a portion of proceeds going to green causes.[20] Forbes put her 53rd on their 2007 list of the most powerful celebrities.[92] Ipanema Gisele Bündchen made an estimated £152 million with over 250 million pairs sold in 2010.[93] Bündchen told Vitals Magazine in 2005 that she has been involved in business and investing in real estate since she was 18 years old. She has acquired real estate in New York, Los Angeles, and São Paulo. She claims modeling is only 40 per cent of what she does, and the rest is contracting.[94] On 1 May 2007, it was announced that Bündchen had ended her contract with Victoria's Secret.[95] According to a stock market analysis in 2007, when Gisele terminated her agreement with Victoria's Secret, which is owned by Limited Brands Inc. (LTD), Limited was selling for $26.80 per share. Soon thereafter, the stock declined to $18.36 per share, a 31.5% drop.[96] In July 2007 Forbes magazine named her the world's top-earning model, with an estimated total of $33 million in earnings in the previous 12 months.[97] American economist Fred Fuld developed a stock index to measure the profit performance improvement of companies represented by Bündchen compared with the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Her earnings climbed $20 million over the previous year, thanks to an economic boom in Brazil, coupled with a 10 per cent surge in the value of the Brazilian real against the dollar.[104] In August 2011, Bündchen ranked 60th on the Forbes list of The World's 100 Most Powerful Women.[108] She ranked thirs on the The 20 Youngest Power Women of 2011 List at age 31.[109] Bündchen and her husband Tom Brady were named by Forbes magazine as the World's Highest Paid Celebrity couple in 2011, with combined annual earnings at $76 million.
