The Brazilian beauty, who has been married to NFL star Tom Brady since 2009, is expected to amass a ten-figure fortune by summer 2012 after expanding into a variety of other industries, Forbes reports.
As well as her lucrative Versace and Dior contracts, the 30-year-old's portfolio also includes successful footwear, jewellery and lingerie lines and a selection of ecofriendly skincare products founded last year.
Bündchen's real-estate holdings in South America and California will not only make her the first billionaire supermodel, but also the first Brazilian female self-made billionaire.
Bündchen, who has been the world's highest-earning model since 2009, returned to the catwalk last summer for the first time since giving birth to son Benjamin.
