The world's richest model has reportedly reacted in her own way to the sliding value of the US dollar - by refusing to be paid in the currency.
Gisele Bündchen is said to be keen to avoid the US currency because of uncertainty over its strength.
The Brazilian, thought to have earned about $30m in the year to June, prefers to be paid in euros, her sister and manager told the Bloomberg news agency.
However, Ms Bündchen, 27, declined to comment on her pay arrangements.

So, if she’s not American, what reason does she have to use or even accept US dollars.

What a dumb bufoon. She should stick to what she does best, flaunting her physical assets.
The dollar/euro relationship is going to reverse direction in the very near future. Remember who told ya.

Nothing wrong with doing all you can to reduce the cost of your everyday necessities. Dow-Corning is an American company, so these'll be more affordable now...

I wonder what the exchange rate is...
