Gisele Bundchen may be down in the dumps after her hubby Tom Brady lost the Super Bowl to the New York Giants, but the top model sure can smile about her new title: The Richest Model in the World. A list put together by the Daily Mail, based on their worth, ranks Gisele at the top with other models, Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks, close behind. So how did she do it? Well, besides numerous campaigns and editorials, her line of sandals sold over 250 million pairs last year. She also has holdings in Brazil including a hotel and her skin line Sejaa is increasing in popularity. Gisele isn’t just beauty, but she is also an undeniably sharp business woman.
