Gisele Bundchen: "I won’t get out of bed for US dollars"

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen has proved she’s got a head for figures - the financial kind.

The Brazilian beauty has insisted that she is paid in Euros rather than US dollars.

With the dollar hitting an all time low against the Euro and British pound, the 27 year old catwalk queen has demanded the currency change.

She is also likely to receive Euros as payment for a new campaign to promote Dolce and Gabanna’s “The One” perfume.

Bundchen, a former girlfriend of Hollywood star Leonardo Di Caprio, is known as one of the most financially savvy models.

She is believed to earn over £15m a year from catwalk appearances and fashion endorsements and is recognised as the world’s top earning model.
