Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen

Tom Brady announced that he and Gisele Bündchen have divorced and three months later, Brady retired from the NFL.
This came after Brady’s brief retirement to come back for his 23rd NFL season at age 45.
Bündchen was the highest-earning model in the world for 10 consecutive years, according to Forbes. Brady has earned six Super Bowl rings and three league MVP awards and is widely considered the greatest quarterback of all time.
Bündchen and Brady married in 2009, and together they led an extremely fabulous life.

Supermodel Gisele Bündchen and superstar quarterback Tom Brady were one of the most powerful celebrity couples on the planet before announcing their divorce in late 2022.

They are believed to have an estimated net worth of $650 million.

Brady is considered one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time after earning six Super Bowl rings and three league MVP awards in his 20 years with the New England Patriots.

The couple made a big life change by swapping the cold winters of New England for the warmth and humidity of Tampa Bay in 2020 when Brady signed with the Bucs.

After leaving the Patriots for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he immediately won his seventh Super Bowl, cementing his status as the GOAT.

They bought a gorgeous, 5,000-square-foot waterfront estate on Indian Creek Island for $17 million.

And became neighbors with other celebrities on Miami’s “Billionaires Bunker,” including Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Adriana Lima, and billionaire Carl Icahn.

They also built a 6-bedroom, 6-bath, 6,500-square-foot mansion on in the Davis Islands area of Tampa. That house was recently put on the market for $12.5 million as divorce rumors swirled.

The couple also bought a boat for their Tampa mansion. They picked up the multi-million dollar tab on their swanky new ship “Viva La Vida.”

Many months after they moved to Florida, Brady and Bündchen sold their mansion in the Boston suburbs for a whopping $33 million.

Bündchen reigned over the modeling world for well over a decade and was the top-earning supermodel for 10 consecutive years. Even though she retired in 2015, Bündchen was still one of the top-5 highest-paid models of 2018.

However, earlier this year, Gisele appeared on the cover ELLE magazine and suggested she was ready to model full-time again, saying, “I feel very fulfilled, as a mother and as a wife. And now it’s going to be my turn.”

In his last season with the Patriots, the team paid Brady $23 million. Business Insider estimated that Brady sacrificed at least $60 million during his career to help keep New England competitive.

Brady will make $30 million in 2022, raising his career earnings to over $330 million. That is nearly $80 million more than the second-highest-paid player of all time, Eli Manning.

Brady has also made an estimated $12 million annually in endorsement deals with companies like Under Armour, Intel, Beats by Dre, and Shields.

He decided to retire in 2022, then came back for one final season before announcing he was ready to hang up his cleats “for good.”

But he already had his next career move lined up; he’s set to enter the broadcast booth after signing a massive 10-year, $375 million contract to join Fox Sports as an analyst.

Brady’s earnings sound enormous, but Giselle was actually the bigger earner for a long time.

Forbes reported in July 2016 that Bündchen had earned an estimated $30.5 million throughout the prior year.

She’s had a number of extremely lucrative endorsement deals with major brands, including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein, and Pantene.

Additionally, Bündchen has made tons of money by allowing companies to monetize her name and likeness. She had a sandals line with Grendene, a lingerie brand with Hope, a beauty line with Sejaa Pure Skincare, and others.

Brady has also had some exciting endorsement deals, including a partnership with Aston Martin.

Aston Martin even produced a limited Tom Brady edition of the Vanquish S Volante. Only 12 were produced, and they went for $360,000 each.

Together, Brady and Bündchen once owned a custom-built, $20 million mansion in Los Angeles.

It had a moat and a chicken coop so they could eat fresh eggs.

But in 2014, they sold the estate to Dr. Dre for a reported $40 million.

In 2013, they were reportedly searching for a new apartment in NYC. They were spotted looking at an $11.5 million duplex in Manhattan that spring.

They eventually settled on a glassy skyscraper condo that they purchased for $14 million in 2013.

In 2016, they put that condo back on the market with a price tag of $17.25 million.

That’s because they reportedly dropped $20 million on a new waterfront apartment in Tribeca.

Prior to New York, they lived in a Boston condo but sold it for $9.2 million in 2012.

The homes were basically their only lavish purchases.

Outside of his Aston Martin, his cars aren’t too gaudy. He got in an accident in 2010 while driving an Audi sedan.

He told ESPN that he’s a homebody and has to talk to his friends’ kids about music so he knows what’s popular.

He even likes to do silly things like welcome a rescue dog to the family with a “Lion King” video on Facebook.

He does attend lots of high-profile events though, from the Kentucky Derby …

The duo also attended the 2014 FIFA World Cup and were spotted hanging out with Ashton Kutcher.

He even attended the inaugural Miami Grand Prix where he posed for this spic photo with some other GOATs.

But Brady insists that he prefers to avoid a flashy lifestyle. He doesn’t own a private jet but sometimes arranges one to bring his parents to visit him.

Brady also spends time raising money for various charities, including $6.5 million for cancer research by buzzing his hair in 2018.

Bündchen also prioritizes her philanthropic work. She donated a whopping $1.5 million to relief efforts in Haiti in 2009 and regularly supports the United Nations, WWF, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, (RED), and St. Francis Food Pantries and Shelters.

She also works with a number of nonprofits to help benefit her birth country, Brazil. She donates a percentage of the profits from her sandals line to protect Amazon Rainforest water sources while supporting other Brazilian initiatives like Y Ikatu Xingu, Nascentes do Brasil, De Olho nos Mananciais, and ISA.

More recently, it seems like most of Brady’s and Bündchen’s big spending was health-based.

Brady and Gisele had a personal chef who had them on a strict diet that included no sugar, no tomatoes, and avocado ice cream as a treat.

The chef even had the couple’s children on a strict diet that was about 80% vegetables.

In 2016, Brady wrote a $200 diet book that sold out almost immediately when it was first released.

In 2017, Brady had a more modestly priced book drop. “The TB12 Method: How to Achieve a Lifetime of Sustained Peak Performance,” is less than $20 and was called “The Athletes Bible.”

He is also strict on alcohol, even putting Rob Gronkowski on a drinking diet. But Brady does occasionally splurge, — including on New Year’s Eve, apparently, as he said on Instagram that he was curing his hangover with some TB12 electrolytes on New Year’s Day 2018.

Bündchen is also a stickler for clean eating habits, prioritizing home-grown foods.

Brady also employs a ‘body coach’ and health guru, Alex Guerrero, who works with Brady at least once every day and whose duties include spiritual guide, counselor, pal, nutrition adviser, trainer, and massage therapist.

Bündchen, meanwhile, regularly practices yoga and mindfulness.

She even practices with her kids.

Brady and Bündchen took offseason vacations with the family to places like Asia (on behalf of his partnership with Under Armour, of course).

They also visited Qatar.

But no matter where their lavish lives or impressive careers took them, Brady and Bündchen were said to speak to each other every day.

But despite the occasional lavish trip, Brady and Bündchen were the rare celebrity couple that can actually afford to live a megastar lifestyle but opted to live more modestly — relative to other high-earning megastars, at least. Now they live separately.
