Bündchen and Brady married in 2009, and together they led an extremely fabulous life.

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.
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.”Tom Brady looks up after a play against the Carolina Panthers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
