Gisele Bündchen gets a year older



Gisele Bündchen -- Bündchen was one of Victoria's Secret Angels from 2000 until 2006. Since 2004, she has been the highest-paid model in the world and the 16th richest woman in the entertainment industry with an estimated $150 million fortune. Models Claudia Shiffer and Naomi Campbell have argued that Bündchen is the only true remaining "supermodel." And according to Forbes, she may become the first ever billionaire supermodel. And for all that, has she overcome suffering or all that can upset? Is age treating her more harshly as she sees her beauty fade and realizes that she is no closer to liberation?

Gisele Caroline Nonnenmacher Bündchen was born on July 20, 1980 in Tres de Maio, Brazil. Her parents are Vania Nonnenmacher, a bank clerk, and Valdir Bundchen, a university professor. She grew up in Horizontina, Rio Grande do Sul, with her 5 sisters including Patricia, who is Gisele’s identical twin. The part of Southern Brazil where Gisele is from has a large population of Brazilians of German descent.
