It has been reported in the press recently that supermodel Gisele Bündchen will no longer get out of bed for a day's work... unless she is paid in Euros.With the dollar hitting an all-time low against the Euro and Pound, is seems Gisele is determined to get her money's worth. According to a Brazilian newspaper, the 27 year-old demanded that the owners for her new campaigns with Pantene hair products and Dolce & Gabbana both paid her in Euros.
It may be a wise move as the Euro is the strongest currency at the moment but is this just greed gone too far? I absolutely love Gisele, she's an amazing supermodel and does work really hard.
But having this amount of money in her pocket surely means that she has enough to make sure she and her whole family live comfortable for the rest of their lives. Does it really matter what currency she is paid in? I'm sure losing a hundred pounds or so every few months shouldn't really matter all that much.
She is the higest-paid supermodel in the world having earned £14MILLION in the first six months to 2007, adding to her reported $150MILLION fortune from exclusive modelling contracts over the years.
She is currently the face of 20 brands worldwide and has represented the following fashion houses during her career:
Christian Dior, Balenciaga, Dolce & Gabbana, Missoni, Versace, Celine, Givenchy, Bvlgari, Lanvin, Guerlain, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Earl Jeans, Zara, Chloe, Michael Kors, Louis Vuitton, and Victoria's Secret.
This reinstates the fact that she is one of the best supermodels in the world, and I think at this time in her highly successful career things such as currency shouldn't matter.
