  • 2004 also saw Gisele's acting debut, as the leader of a gang of

bank robbers in the Tim Story-directed film Taxi. Despite

the film's critical panning, she received another film role - a

cameo this time - as Serena, a friend of long-suffering assistant

Emily in iconic fashion film The Devil Wears Prada in

    • In December 2006, Gisele met Tom Brady. "I knew right away -

    the first time I saw him," she told Vanity Fair later. "We

    met through a friend. The moment I saw him, he smiled and I was

    like, 'That is the most beautiful, charismatic smile I've ever

    seen!' We sat and talked for three hours. I had to go home for

    Christmas, but I didn't want to leave. You know that feeling of,

    like, you can't get enough? From the first day we met, we've never

    spent one day without speaking to each other."

    • Shortly after Gisele and Brady met, his former girlfriend -

    actress Bridget Moynahan - announced that she was pregnant with his

    child and planned to have the baby on her own. "In the beginning

    you're living this romantic fantasy; you're thinking, 'This can't

    be true, it's so good!' And then, whoops - wake-up call!" she said

    later. "We were dating two-and-a-half months when he found out, and

    it was a very challenging situation. Obviously, in the beginning,

    it's not the ideal thing. [But] I think it was a blessing, because

    otherwise I don't think I would have known what he was made of, and

    he wouldn't have known what I was made of. I wouldn't have seen the

    integrity in him - the way he was a good person through all the

    times." Brady's son Jack - who Gisele now refers to as her "eldest"

    30 is a wicked number in the modeling industry. For most cover girls, being 30-years-old is tantamount to a modeling death sentence. 

    Gisele Bündchen seems to be the exception to this rule. At 31 years of age, there's no let-up in sight for the Brazilian bombshell. Between May 2011 and last month, she took in a whopping $45 million, making her the highest paid supermodel in the world, according to Forbes.

    Bündchen didn't win by just a few pennies, either. In comparison, Kate Moss, took in a mere $9 million, according to Forbes. Bündchen simply blew her cohorts off of the runway last year.

    This is Bündchen's second year at the helm. But just how did she transform into an international fashion icon?

    In 1994, when she was 14, Gisele is discovered eating a Big Mac at a McDonald's in São Paulo, Brazil by an Elite Modeling agent. She soon moves to São Paulo to start a modeling career and places in (but doesn't win) multiple competitions. She is told by some talent scouts that her nose is too big.

    She moves to New York in 1996 to begin a modeling career where she quickly works Carolina Herrera and Oscar De La Renta shows. She begins making a name for herself the next year in London when she's picked out by Alexander McQueen, who calls her "The Body."

    In 2000, she begins her five-year relationship with star actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
