Consider other models that have achieved incredible success.

Gisele Bundchen

The Brazilian was born in the small town of Horizontina (state of Rio Grande do Sul) on July 20, 1980. Giselle always dreamed of becoming a professional volleyball player, but a trip with friends to Sao Paulo changed her whole life (Giselle was then 14 years old). In the local "McDonald's" Bundchen was noticed by an agent from Elite, who, without hesitation, made a tempting offer to the girl.

The five Bundchen sisters also decided to follow in the footsteps of Giselle, but none of them achieved such success.

At first I had to refuse (my father was sharply against), but after weighing all the pros and cons, Bundchen accepted the offer. Gradually, the beauty's career began to gain momentum, and now she is already in the ranking of the richest and most successful models in the world. Interestingly, the five Bundchen sisters also decided to follow in the footsteps of Giselle, but none of them achieved such success.
