The year was 1994, and a 14-year-old girl had just arrived in São Paulo with the dream of shining in the world of fashion. Earning “about R$40,000 a month” seemed more than enough for this gaúcha from Horizontina, with a simple and straightforward manner, who was speaking in an interview for a TV show. Forty years later, the video goes viral on social media. The reason? The model was Gisele Bündchen.
With a fortune estimated at around US$400 million (R$2.21 billion), according to a survey by the website Celebrity Net Worth, Gisele does not hide in the video rescued by fans that the beginning of her career was difficult. She showed how she lived with other young women in a modest apartment, rented by the Elite Models agency. The über model even shared a room with another model and said that she slept on the bottom of a bunk bed: “She’s older and arrived first. She has priority”, she explains in the images.
Still in the interview with the program Sunday 10from Band, shown at the time, Gisele reported the challenges she faced, such as the numerous castings and constant criticism of her look. She was rejected several times because she had a “big nose” and “small eyes”. The model expressed her desire to work outside the country: “I can’t wait to work abroad, live abroad. This career gives me that opportunity, and I intend to earn around R$40,000. It will be really good.”
Gisele announced that she is pregnant with her third child this Tuesday (29), the first with her current boyfriend. Joaquim Valente is a 36-year-old jiu-jitsu instructor and entered the top model’s life as a self-defense teacher for her and her children in 2020. The two publicly announced their romance in March 2024. Sources from “People” magazine They are said to have been dating since June 2023.
The Brazilian model is already the mother of Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, from her marriage to Tom Brady. The model and the former American football player announced their divorce in October 2022, after 13 years of marriage.
