Upwardly mobile: Gisele Bündchen Posted on August 6th
She may be the world’s most beautiful victim of the property crash. Gisele
Bündchen, the world’s highest-earning model, has reportedly been trying to
sell her New York apartment for almost a year without success. After
offering the 1,700 sq ft West Village triplex for sale in September last
year, the Brazilian beauty was forced to cut the asking price from $10.9
million to $7.9 million. After removing it from the market earlier this
year, she has now put it back on sale for $5.9 million. Forbes Magazine
estimates that the supermodel has made $35 million this year and puts her
net worth at $150 million, making the $5million price reduction a minor blow
to her financial assets. Bündchen bought the minimalist pad with two
bedrooms, two bathrooms and a rooftop terrace with a spa bath and views over
the Hudson River, for $3million in 2002. Her main New York home is a
brownstone townhouse, also in the West Village, that she bought in 2004 for
a reported $16.5million.$
