Gisele Bündchen is a Brazilian model and actress and is known for being the highest-paid supermodels in the world since 2001. As a teen, Bündchen wanted to be a volleyball player, but was forced by her mother to join a modeling program to correct her bad posture. Gisele Bündchen debuted at New York Fashion Week in 1996 and is credited with ending the “heroin chic” era of modeling with her curves instead of stick-thin figure. Bünchen is also known for popularizing the high-stepping and stomping “horse walk,” for supermodels. An accomplished supermodel, Gisele Bündchen was a Victoria’s Secret Angel for seven years and has appeared on over 1,200 magazine covers over the course of her career.
