Gisele Bündchen, the richest supermodel in the world and wife of football star Tom Brady, is still in first place in terms of supermodel earnings, making approximately $25 million per year. Heidi Klum is in second place at $16 million, with Kate Moss in third place.
Gisele is connected to a lot of publicly traded companies, acting as spokesperson for their products. Tracking the stocks she is connected with from January of 2007, the Gisele Bundchen Stock Index has greatly outperformed the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
The stocks in her portfolio include:
Volkswagon (VLKAY.PK) TV commercial spokesperson
Polo Ralph Lauren Corp. (RL) Advertising campaign face for Ralph Lauren, owned by Polo Ralph Lauren Corp.
Vivo Participacoes (VIV) Celebrity endorsement - largest mobile phone service provider in Brazil and in South America

The Gisele Index is UP 2.6% for the last few years since January 2007 versus the Dow which was DOWN 18.7% during the same period. By the way, Apple (AAPL) used to be part of her index because she appeared on the 'Get a Mac' advertisements to promote the new line of Macintosh's a few years ago. If Apple was still in the index, her return would be much higher.
