Why Gisele is on track to becoming world's first model billionaire

Business brains. Gisele Bundchen, who is set to be the first billionaire model, launched her own lingerie line in May

Her flawless looks have made her the world’s top-earning supermodel. But it seems Gisele Bundchen is more than just a pretty face.

Thanks to property investments and a number of lucrative licensing deals, financial experts believe the 30-year-old is well on her way to becoming the modelling world’s first billionaire.

According to Forbes, the mother-of-one, who is married to NFL star Tom Brady, made $45million last year alone thanks to high-profile campaigns for Versace and H&M.

It estimates that she has made $250million over the past 10 years, but the launch of her own skincare and lingerie lines now look set to push her earnings into the stratosphere.

The products Ms Bundchen has lent her name to include a footwear line for Ipanema, which sold 25 million pairs in 2010,and a fashion collection with C&A.

Among her independent endeavours are an eco-friendly beauty line, Sejaa Pure Skincare, which she owns 100 per cent.

And earlier this year saw the launch of her debut lingerie collection in her native Brazil. With the country’s womenswear industry growing by 22 per cent, it has already been tipped to boost her earnings by $19m a year.

Forbes explained: ’Instead of licensing her name to [Hope, Brazil’s answer to Victoria’s Secret], like most celebrities do, she created her own brand, Gisele Bundchen Brazilian Intimates, which since last week is being sold exclusively at Hope’s stores...

’She’ll also own a stake in the company, a savvy move few celebrities make.’

The magazine also factored the future value of the land the model owns in Brazil and Costa Rica, as well as the many millions she is spending on a lavish home she is building for her family in Brentwood, California.

It added:’According to Jeffrey Hyland, from the brokerage firm Hilton & Hyland... it is safe to say that the property’s range will exceed all its costs once it is ready.’

Megan Fox shows support for the Lakers in tiny T-shirt... but David Beckham looks bored

It was probably not the most suitable attire for an evening out at the basketball.

But Megan Fox made sure all eyes were on her as she attended an LA Lakers game in her tiny T-shirt.

The actress arrived at the game at the Staples Centre with husband Brian Austin Green, wearing skinny blue jeans and the cropped top with the Lakers logo blazing out from the front.

But while Fox, 24, and Green, 37, might have been looking forward to the playoff match against the New Orleans Hornets, someone else looked like he was a little bored.

And it made us wonder what his court side companion could have been going on about to make David Beckham look so disinterested.

The footballer was snapped at the game sitting next to Entourage star Jeremy Piven.

I’m hearing you but I’m not listening: David Beckham looked bored with Jeremy Piven’s chatter as they watched the LA Lakers game

But as Piven, 45, chatted away to Beckham, pointing out moments in the game, the footballer’s gaze was seen to wander.

He sat with his arms crossed and stared off into space as Piven gabbed away in his ear.

At one point he leaned forward to show his actor friend some courtesy but still stared forward as though he wasn’t really concentrating that much.

Say that again, mate: David Beckham leans forward as Jeremy Piven gabs away, but stares off into space

All eyes - and camera lenses - were focused on the sexy footballer, David Beckham, in the front row

Looking casually sexy in jeans, a grey T-shirt and his hair slicked back, David also managed to unconsciously throw a couple of smoldering looks towards the cameras.

It was certainly nice to see David back in his usual attire again after he was last seen in a bunny outfit over the Easter weekend.

David donned the big white bunny suit to hide some golden eggs in the garden at the family’s Los Angeles home for the the three boys - Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, six - to find.

Hollywood greats Steven Spielberg and Andy Garcia were also at the game

And his wife Victoria, 37, couldn’t resist snapping a picture of the footballer and uploading them online to share with their fans.

Also attending the game yesterday, which saw the Lakers beat New Orleans by 106 to 90, was director Steven Spielberg and actor Andy Garcia.

The face behind Athena's iconic Tennis Girl poster

She couldn't even play tennis but, back in the late Seventies, Fiona Walker made a lot of men very interested in the sport. Athena's Tennis Girl poster, which shows Walker's bare bottom as she lifts her short white dress, has been described as one of the sexiest posters ever made.Now the face behind the iconic pose has been photographed beside the poster, for the first time ever, to help launch Court on Canvas - an exhibition exploring tennis as a subject in art.

The exhibition runs from May 27 to September 18 at Birmingham's Barber Institute of Fine Arts, making it a return home for the photograph which was taken at Birmingham University. Walker's appearance at the launch was tinged with sadness as Martin Elliott, her ex who took the picture, died last April following a ten-year battle with cancer. Both Walker and Elliott had married others since the photo was taken.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Irina Shayk can't keep their hands off each other at football match

With Cristiano Ronaldo being one of the most famous footballers of our generation, you would assume the 26-year-old sportsman is a big fan of the beautiful game. However, on Saturday, Ronaldo seemed more interested in kissing and cuddling his stunning girlfriend Irina Shayk than watching the goings on between Real Madrid and Hercules at Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Saturday. But then, who can blame Ronaldo, given that his girlfriend is a stunning 25-year-old lingerie model.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Irina Shayk looked loved-up as they watched the football in Madrid on Saturday

And Irina has been honest with her feelings about football since she started dating the Real Madrid star. During an interview last year, while Irina wouldn't talk about her relationship with Ronaldo, she laughed: 'I'm not a fan of soccer, for sure not!' Irina has been working hard in recent months promoting her new issue of Sports Illustrated magazine and launching a new clothing collection Xti 2011-12 with Arthur Sales.

Ronaldo and Irina's relationship seems to be going from strength to strength

Since dating Ronaldo, Irina's career has gone from strength to strength, and she has modelled for clients including Victoria's Secret and Ory swimwear. However, Irina, who was born in Yemanzhelinsk, Russia, said it wasn't an easy decision for her to move to New York and follow her dream.

She said: 'We didn't even have fashion magazines there.' Irina also described how she was discovered, and what encouraged her to try to make it as a model.

Stop talking! The couple play fight as they sit in the stalls of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium

She said: 'It was by pure chance. My mother saw an ad on a bus stop and I came to a local beauty school accompanying my older sister. 'I was noticed by a person from a local model agency and he proposed that I participate in a beauty contest Miss Chelyabinsk.'

I never thought of a career of as a model and it was a total surprise for me when I won the contest and became Miss Chelyabinsk. Then I started modelling in Paris.' Now Irina is enjoying a hugely successful modelling career, mainly down to her stunning looks and amazing curves.

Peekaboo! Irina's outfit featured sheer and mesh panelling which showed off her trim figure

Speaking recently about how she maintains her figure, Irina told E! Online: 'I do work out five times a week when I’m in New York. I eat healthy. I never diet. 'I just eat whatever I want to. When you’re happy inside and you feel great. You just show it in the body and face.'

And that's exactly what Irina did yesterday when she launched Xti 2011-12 in Madrid. Wearing a grey sheer lace corset and tight black leggings with mesh side panels, Irina beamed for photographers as she posed outside the event.

Kirilenko was the most modest, probably because her mother, Olga, was watching.' The Sports Illustrated shoot is becoming a tradition for women tennis players. In 2006 Maria Sharapova posed, and the year before it was Venus Williams. Steffi Graff started the trend in 1997, followed by Serena Williams in 2003 and 2004. Anna Kournikova also posed in 2004.

Shakira and new boyfriend Gerard Piqué share a passionate kiss on magazine cover

They've been romantically linked since last year but are rarely seen out together. But now Shakira and Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué have made their relationship official - as a photograph of the couple sharing a passionate kiss has been used on the cover of Colombian magazine Caras. he 34-year-old singer is seen closing her eyes and leaning in for a romantic embrace with her 24-year-old sportsman beau.

Shakira announced at the start of the year that her 11-year relationship with lawyer Antonio de la Rua, 37, the eldest son of the former Argentinian premier, amid rumours that he had been cheating on her. And last month, Piqué, who plays for FC Barcelona, uploaded a photograph from his birthday on February 2 of himself and the Colombian singer celebrating with friends.

The singer first met Piqué last spring while shooting the video to her song Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) - the official track of the 2010 World Cup. Barcelona-based newspaper El Periodico de Catalunya claimed they had a string of secret encounters following their initial meeting. It said they both spent a night in the seven-room Hotel Atzaro in Ibiza last July. The footballer is said to have arrived and left wearing the same clothes.

However, Shakira has previously dismissed reports of a romance. At a press conference in Barcelona she described the claims as a 'waka-rumour' and added: 'You shouldn't take any notice of waka-rumours.' Pique was also quick to deny that they were lovers, telling reporters last month: 'We're just friends. There's nothing more to it.'

But in February, the pair were spotted holding hands as they left a restaurant in Barcelona, finally confirming rumours of a romance. Shakira announced her split from De La Rua, son of former Argentine president Fernando de la Rua, on her official website in January.

The couple said: 'During our almost 11 years together we have loved each other deeply, taken care of each other and stood by one another. 'They have been the most wonderful years of our lives, and thanks to that love and the respect we have shared for one another, we have been an exceptional couple and partners.'

Our friendship and understanding of one another is unwavering and indestructible.' The couple added that they viewed their separation as temporary, and that de la Rua - who is also Shakira's agent - would continue to oversee the singer's business and career interests. 'We move forward together as partners, developing projects together, working hand in hand and in close communication,' the pair said.

The four women took part in the Vila Isabel Samba School's float, which had the theme 'hair'.Discussing the theme on her Twitter page, Gisele enthused: 'Women love hair and hair helps give personality to people. I think this theme is super cool.'

But New England Patriots quarterback Brady couldn't get too involved with the festivities because he's recovering from an operation on his right foot. After her performance, the model changed into a white T-shirt by one of the Carnival's sponsors Pantene and joined Brady and her friends and family.

With Brady out of action, Bundchen grabbed a female friend and started dancing as she clutched a carton of coconut water. In between dancing, she managed to find the time for some public kissing with her husband of two years.

The model, who has a 15-month-old son Benjamin, had been Tweeting frantically in the run up to the big day. She admitted she had been listening to the song and learning the words in anticipation of her performance.

After her float performance, Gisele enjoyed a kiss with Tom and then took to the floor and danced with a friend

She wrote: 'We are taking a Samba class with a Samba dancer from the Vila Isabel Samba School. She has been dancing since she was six years old. 'I'm going to do my best and see if I can do this. OK, here we go.' Gisele attends carnival every year, but usually just enjoys the dancing from the stands.

She enthused: 'Carnival is very important to Brazil and is known around the world for being the ultimate joy filled celebration... 'I think the rest of the world has no idea of the involvement. It takes so much dedication and care from everyone who works on it..'
