Gisele Bundchen Dumps The Dollar
GISELE Bundchen on the money markets:
Nov. 5 (Bloomberg) — Gisele Bundchen wants to remain the world’s richest model and is insisting that she be paid in almost any currency but the U.S. dollar.
Like billionaire investors Warren Buffett and Bill Gross, the Brazilian supermodel, who Forbes magazine says earns more than anyone in her industry, is at the top of a growing list of rich people who have concluded that the currency can only depreciate because Americans led by President George W. Bush are living beyond their means.

Good for her. Paper money is only valued by people’s perceived trust in it.
Or lack thereof…Viva la sexy politically minded Brazilian chicks!!

Instead of the risk of upsetting some people, wouldn’t it be easier just to ask for a pay increase and give some other reason? Then just convert however much of the money she wants to herself? I read this earlier and didn’t understand why she just didn’t do that.
Considering that some of the companies that hire her do focus on middle class Americans, it doesn’t look good for them to hire a model who conveys a message that such Americans will probably be going broke. Although, for her personally, I’m sure it is a good money move.
