KEY POINTS

  • Gisele Bundchen has a much higher net worth than her NFL superstar husband Tom Brady
  • Brady is slated to make over $27 million this fall under his new contract with the Buccaneers
  • Bundchen was reportedly the highest-paid model in the world from 2012 to 2017

NFL star Tom Brady and his Brazilian supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen are reportedly breaking up after 13 years of marriage.

Bundchen, 42, and Brady, 45, might be headed toward divorce and looking at dividing their multimillion-dollar fortune as NBC News confirmed Tuesday that they have both retained divorce lawyers. The pair have been living separately for weeks amid marital woes, according to Page Six.

Both the fashion model and her football player husband have had successful careers. Forbes ranked Brady as the world's ninth-highest-paid athlete this year, while Bundchen has repeatedly been ranked as one of the wealthiest celebrities in the world by the magazine.

Due to this, fans may wonder who has the higher net worth among them. Here's the answer to that and more about the former couple.

Tom Brady's Net Worth

Brady has a net worth of $250 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

He was selected 199th overall by the New England Patriots in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft.

Brady had spent his first 20 seasons with the New England Patriots before transferring to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020.

Across 23 seasons, the three-time NFL MVP made $333 million in salary with his playing contracts with the New England Patriots and the Buccaneers, according to Spotrac.

Brady is slated to make over $27.3 million this fall under his new contract with the Buccaneers.

Last February, Brady announced his retirement from NFL. However, 40 days after the announcement, the seven-time Super Bowl champion said that he had chosen to return for at least one more season because he has unfinished business.

Gisele Bundchen's Net Worth

While her husband has a massive fortune, which he acquired through his football salary and endorsements, Bundchen is much richer. Celebrity Net Worth reported that the 42-year-old model has a net worth of $400 million.

Bundchen, who started modeling when she was just 14, got her big break at New York Fashion Week in 1996.

She was reportedly the highest-paid model in the world from 2012 to 2017. During that time, she earned over $500 million from endorsements alone.

In 2000, she signed a $25 million contract with Victoria's Secret and officially retired from Fashion Week runway shows.

That same year, she wore the $15 million Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra, which is regarded by the Guinness World Records as the most expensive lingerie ever made.

Bundchen has modeled for Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Valentino, Dolce and Gabbana and Christian Dior. She appeared in every ad campaign for Dolce and Gabbana from 1993 to 2003.

Brady and Bündchen have been married since early 2009 and have two children together, son Benjamin, 12, and daughter Vivian, 9.

Brady also has a 15-year-old son, Jack, from a previous relationship with actor Bridget Moynahan.
