Philanthropist
Bündchen lends her support and image to a number of charities and humanitarian causes, such as the I am African campaign, in which she painted her face to protest against the lack of attention given to Africa's HIV/AIDS victims.Without receiving payment, Bündchen was the face of American Express Red Card, an initiative launched by U2 front man Bono and Bobby Shriver to send a percentage of monies earned from the financial transactions of this credit card to Africa's HIV/AIDS victims.

She designed a limited necklace edition for Harper’s Bazaar, crafted by jewelers Gumuchian Fils. These necklaces were sold to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital which specializes in cancer treatment. She served as the spokesperson and campaign model for Fashion Targets Breast Cancer.[Bündchen already gave a São Paulo Fashion Week's payment check for Zero Hunger (in Portuguese: Fome Zero), a Brazilian-government program introduced by Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in 2003. Currently, her main social activism is to help protect the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and Amazon Rainforest water sources, donating to this cause a percentage of profits from her line of sandals named Ipanema Gisele Bündchen. Also, Bündchen helps projects such as Florestas do Futuro, Nascentes do Brasil, ISA, Y Ikatu Xingu and De Olho nos Mananciais.
Gisele Bündchen Forest
Bündchen and Grendene, the company that produces and disseminates her line of sandals, joined the Forests of the Future project for the reforestation of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The new forest, named for Gisele Bündchen Sementes, started with 25,500 shoots of 100 different species, enough to revitalize an area of 15 hectares. The model and the company found a place near headwaters of rivers and that the quality of local water were also monitored.
The project Forests of the Future (in Portuguese: Florestas do Futuro) was created by the NGO named SOS Atlantic Forest in 2004. Until October 2007, 800,000 seedlings of trees had been planted. And as soon as sometime in 2008, that number should reach 1,133,000. In the Forests of the Future, SOS Atlantic Forest captures the appeal; the company hires the technicians. If an owner has an area of importance as a corridor, but has not invested—or does not want to invest—financially in trees, the NGO encourages the person or enterprise to donate that area to hold the plantation without spending anything, simply ceding the land and then leaving it to others to make use of. They support the planting for a period of five years before the land is turned over to Nature.[
Acting career
In 2006, Bündchen made a venture into film industry, appearing in The Devil Wears Prada as an editor of Runway Magazine and friend of Emily Blunt named Serena. She also starred as the leader of the bank robbers, Vanessa, in the 2004 remake of Taxi.
Personal life
Relationships
On Thursday, February 26, 2009 Bündchen married New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in a small Catholic ceremony in Los Angeles. The two had been dating since late 2006. Before marrying Brady, she dated actor Leonardo DiCaprio, hotelier Vikram Chatwal and professional surfer Kelly Slater.

Song tribute
As an homage to Bundchen, Brazilian singer and songwriter Gabriel Guerra, along with musician Pedro Cezar, wrote the song Tributo a Gisele (Tribute to Gisele in English),which is currently the theme of the model's official website. In January 2008, Bundchen met Gabriel Guerra at Copacabana Palace Hotel in Rio de Janeiro.
Nude photographs
On April 11, 2008, a black-and-white photo of Bündchen, shot by Irving Penn, was auctioned for US$193,000 (£96,000). The picture was one of dozens from the collection of Gert Elfering that were sold at Christie's International in New York. In all, the auction tallied US$4.27 million and included pictures of Brigitte Bardot, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington and Carla Bruni. Bündchen's picture reached the highest price in comparison with the others. Bardot was the second with US$181,000 (£90,000).
Image inspiration
A result of research was publicized in February 2008 by The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) to reveal how world celebrity images, which overwhelm popular media, influence people's choices and decisions to undergo plastic surgery. The question asked was "What influences do celebrities have on the decisions patients make?". The survey was sent to more than 20,000 plastic surgeons in 84 countries. Gisele Bündchen, Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Pamela Anderson, Sophia Loren, Brad Pitt and George Clooney were the most frequently mentioned celebrities. Gisele won the abdomen and hair categories and took second place in the breasts category.
Controversies
PETA anti-fur target
In 2002, during the taping of the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Bündchen was the target of a protest made by four members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals because she was signed to be the new face of Blackglama, a trademark of a fur-farming cooperative. When Bündchen was on stage, four women jumped onto the runway holding posters that read "Gisele: Fur Scum" and included the logo for PETA. Bündchen tried to ignore them while several security guards detained the protesters. Bündchen told CNN that the protest was "unwarranted" because the fashion show featured only faux fur. After the incident, the producers decided to stop the music and redid Bündchen's segment once the protesters were removed.
"I'm the biggest animal lover in the world", she said backstage after the show. "I was just doing my job as a model. I don't even wear fur. They just want attention."Despite her comments that PETA had acted 'inappropriately', Bündchen later announced that "it was a bad decision on my part," explaining that she no longer "wears any fur."
The Euro preference rumour
When Bündchen signed a contract in August 2007 to represent Pantene hair products in Brazil for Procter & Gamble, it was reported that the model demanded payment in euros, according to Veja, the biggest weekly Brazilian magazine. She was also rumoured by Veja to be paid in euros for the last deal reached with the Italian brand Dolce & Gabbana to promote the fragrance The One.The American dollar's devaluation in international markets was the trigger for the rumour, and Bündchen was written about in many financial publications, a rarity for someone in the fashion world.
Her sister and manager Patrícia Bündchen denied these contract details on her official web site after much criticism.

The cover of the April 2008 Vogue, shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, was the first time a black man had been on the cover. Criticism was immediate from many quarters for what was perceived as a racist depiction of LeBron James, putting the basketball superstar and the much smaller model in a pose reminiscent of King Kong carrying off Fay Wray.[
