Gisele Bündchen born July 20, 1980, in Horizontina, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil is a fashion model.

She has enjoyed an enviable status as one of the world’s highest-paid models since 2001. Forbes ranked her as the 89th most powerful woman in the world in 2014.

How many sisters does Gisele Bündchen have?

The 42-year-old model has five sisters, Raquel, Graziela, Gabriela, Rafaela, and Patricia. Her career as a high-fashion model did not take off on a silver platter.

She auditioned for several roles in various fashion shows for quite a long time but she always hit a roadblock. Bündchen was denied 42 times in London before landing a role in an Alexander McQueen runway show in 1997. The stellar job she did on the runway shot her into the spotlight.

She walked the runways for Missoni, Chloé, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Gianfranco Ferré, Ralph Lauren, and Versace in 1998. Bundchen quit Elite Model Management in 1999 and joined IMG Models. Her reason for switching was that the work environment at her former agency was not conducive for her anylonger.
