Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen covers the latest issue of Elle Italia February 2009. Currently dating Tom Brady, Gisele talks about how lucky she was to have a supporting family and be able to earn the money to also help them.

Gisele says: �I was somebody who was 14 years old and who got an opportunity to do a job where I could make money, and, most important, to go to school and to help my family financially. And luckily I was successful in my job, thank God. And there were a lot of people my age who didn�t have that freedom I had and I�m grateful.�

Gisele is reportedly the highest paid model in the world and we can see why. Gisele�s natural beauty and humble attitude sure stand out in everything she does.
