The revelation follows a busy year for the former 'Victoria's Secret' angel who become the face of H&M, starred in a film for Chanel shot by Baz Luhrmann and modelled for labels including Carolina Herrera, Isabel Marant, Emilio Pucci and Balenciaga.

Gisele, 33 - who has two children, Vivian, two and Benjamin, four, with her husband, American football star Tom Brady - has had her earnings tracked by Forbes since 2001, who reports she has a net worth of around Sh37 billion ($427 million) dollars.

However, the model - who was also placed 56th in the magazine's annual Celebrity 100 - has never confirmed their estimate and claims that the figures have been hugely overestimated.

She explained earlier this year: "It's sad, because the people who write these things don't have my bank account details.

"I do OK, I earn plenty, but not as much as they say. I've already been audited by the IRS because of this list and, truthfully, whether I'm on this list or not doesn't interest me."
