According to Forbes, which released its “2007 World’s Top Earning Models” report today, Gisele banked $33 million USD last year – which was far, far ahead of 2nd place Kate Moss at $9 million USD:

1. Gisele B�ndchen ($33 mil.)
2. Kate Moss ($9 mil.)
3. Heidi Klum ($8 mil.)
4. Adriana Lima ($6 mil.)
5. Alessandra Ambrosio ($6 mil.)
6. Carolyn Murphy ($5 mil.)
7. Natalia Vodianova ($4.5 mil.)
8. Karolina Kurkova ($3.5 mil.)
9. Daria Werbowy ($3.5 mil.)
10. Gemma Ward ($3 mil.)
11. Liya Kebede ($2.5 mil.)
12. Hilary Rhoda ($2 mil.)
13. Shalom Harlow ($2 mil.)
14. Doutzen Kroes ($1.5 mil.)
15. Jessica Stam ($1.5 mil.)

Gisele Bundchen tops Forbes.com’s 2007 list of The Top Earning Models in the World, raking in $33 million, more than triple the $9 million banked by Kate Moss, who came in second. The 15 models on our list were ranked primarily according to estimated earnings over the past 12 months.

Where necessary, the “relevancy” of the model–determined by recent campaigns, editorials, fashion magazine covers and the opinion of those in the industry– were taken into account. Household names Heidi Klum ($8 million), Adriana Lima ($6 million) and Alessandra Ambrosio ($6 million) round out the top five slots.

Gisele Bundchen is a workhorse who leads the pack by far: While most models on the list have one major contract in addition to three or four seasonal campaigns, Bundchen juggles almost 20 campaigns. She also brings in at least $6 million a year by licensing her name to a Brazilian shoe company, Grendene. But watch for Bundchen’s fortunes to possibly decline next year: In December, her record-breaking $5 million a year deal with Victoria’s Secret expires.

Well, looks like our homeboy Tom Brady isn’t going to need to worry about his woman being a gold digger any time soon… although from what I’ve heard they might not be together too much longer. Apparently Gisele is pissed that Tom’s baby (carried by hottie Bridget Moynahan) is supposed to be born on Friday – which is her 27th birthday:

The Brazilian supermodel is said to be extremely upset that her American footballer boyfriend’s ex, actress Bridget Moynahan, is due to give birth to his son on Friday, the same date as Gisele’s 27th birthday.

Tensions are said to be so strained between the couple that Tom’s family are flying out to Italy to spend time with him at the Rome villa Gisele recently bought.

Such is life, Tommy boy. Gisele: call me, babe. You still owe me that trip to Majorca.
