The aging ex-cordon of Leonardo DiCaprio can be the world's first fashion model-tenanter
Brazilian Giselle Bundhen, for seven years in a row, leading a list of the highest paid models of the world, can be the first billionaire fashion in the history of the world. The thirty -year -old podium star "is on the way" to this ambitious goal, experts of the influential Forbes magazine, carefully observing the growth of welfare and authority, Giselle Bundhen.
Although its annual income is estimated at only $ 45 million, over the past 10 years, Bundhen has made investments for a total amount of $ 250 million. But most importantly, it is lean and constantly increases the market value of its assets, ITAR-TASS reports.
Unlike colleagues, Giselle Bundhen turned her name into a trademark. In partnership with the leading world manufacturer Grendene, the model produces a branded line of shoes called the iPanema. Last year, 25 million pairs of such shoes were sold in the world. The line accounts for 63% of the total export of the company, which is about $ 250 million per year.
The fashion model also did not lose, making a bet on the release of finished clothes for women. In Brazil, the income of this sector increased last year by 22% to $ 3.45 billion, according to the National Association of Textile Industry.
Last May, Giselle Bundhen, in partnership with Hope (Brazilian version of Victoria`s Secret), founded a joint venture for the production of lady linen. The fashion model belongs to the joint venture, in addition, the Brazilian did not give her name to the partner, but created her own brand Gisele Bundchen Brazilian Intimates. Products with this trading sign are successfully sold in 61 Hope stores and more than a thousand outlets. This company, according to the Brazilian press, allows you to add $ 19 million to the annual income of Bundhen.
The fashion model belongs to many real estate objects. This is a hotel in the south of Brazil, a plot of land in the prestigious area of the city of Tramoso (Brazilian state of Baia), Villa in Costa Rica and the house under construction in Brentwood (California, USA).
Giselle and her husband Tom Brady bought a plot of land for development for $ 11 million, having spent another 20 million dollars for building a house with a view of the Santa Monica Gulf and the island of Santa Katalina. The realtors, which the Forbes addressed, said that the cost of the completed house more than pay for all expenses.
Thus, the fashion model can really become a billionaire. To do this, you need to sell real estate, shares in some companies and develop the success of other enterprises, concludes Forbes.
Earnings do not interfere with the birth of a child. Having married Tom Brady, Bundhen gave birth to a child and, impressed by the experience of motherhood, suggested legislatively to oblige mothers to feed the baby with her chest for at least six months - although she herself did not last much.
