Gisele Bündchen was born on 20th July, 1980 in the Brazilian town of Tres de Maio to Vania Nonnenmacher, a bank clerk pensioner, & Valdir Bundchen who is a university teacher. She stayed her childhood in Horizontina, Rio Grande do Sul, with her 5 sisters: Raquel, Gabriela, Graziela, Rafaela, & Patricia, who is Gisele’s twin & younger than her by only 5 minutes. The region in Southern Brazil where she’s from has a large population of Brazilians of German descent. Gisele herself is of far-away German descent on both her maternal & paternal sides: she had great-great grandparents who came to Brazil from Germany, & she maintains that she belongs to the 6th generation of her family in Brazil. She was raised like a Roman Catholic, speaking Portuguese as her 1st language & English as her 2nd, though she learnt some German in school however admits to unfortunately forgetting most of it.
Gisele Bündchen originally wanted to be a professional volleyball player & supposedly toyed with the idea of pursuing it via playing for the Brazilian national team. In 1993, though, at just thirteen, she & 2 of her sisters were encouraged by their mother to enroll in a modeling course. The next year, the fourteen year old was discovered in a shopping mall by a modeling agency & was later selected for the national Elite Look of the Year contest, wherever she came in second place. She went on to be placed 4th in the world contest, in Spain, & moved to New York City in 1996 to debut her modeling profession at Fashion Week. 
The last few years of the 1990s saw Gisele Bündchen really burst into the fashion arena. The associated editorial suggested that her success heralded an end to the ‘heroin chic’ icon of models that had pervaded the catwalks of the 1990s. She acquired the joint VH1-Vogue award for Model of the Year in 1999 & a cover on the January 2000 issue of Vogue allowed her the rare achievement of 3 consecutive Vogue covers. She has since graced the covers of several publications multiple times, including Vogue, ELLE, Esquire & Marie Claire. Moreover, she has been seen in publications that reach a broader platform outside of fashion & glamour, including Time & Newsweek too. She frequently works with famous photographers for example Mario Testino, Annie Leibovitz & Karl Lagerfeld & rivals the late Princess Diana for the biggest number of magazine cover features in the world.
In addition to gracing the covers of magazines worldwide, Gisele Bündchen has multiple endorsements which keep her modeling profession thriving. She’s the face of numerous high fashion advertising campaigns for example Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Louis Vuitton & Victoria’s Secret, to name some. She lately finished her contract with Victoria’s Secret however chose not to renew it. She insisted that this was because she wanted to move onto other things, & wasn’t a matter of payment disagreements. Other business ventures contain Gisele’s personal line of flip-flops named Ipanema Gisele Bündchen, which can sell for in so far as $230 for one pair. The model also possesses the Palladium Executive which is a hotel in Southern Brazil and Forbes magazine names Gisele Bündchen like the world’s top earning model in the World’s Top Earning fifteen Supermodels list in 2007.
