Nov. 5 (Bloomberg) – Gisele Bundchen wants to remain the world’s richest model and is insisting that she be paid in almost any currency but the U.S. dollar.

When Bundchen, 27, signed a contract in August to represent Pantene hair products for Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble Co., she demanded payment in euros, according to Veja, Brazil’s biggest weekly magazine. She’ll also get euros for the deal she reached last October with Dolce & Gabbana SpA in Milan to promote the Italian designer’s new fragrance, The One, Veja reported. Bundchen earned $33 million in the year through June, Forbes reported in July.

**Contracts starting now are more attractive in euros because we don’t know what will happen to the dollar,‘’** Patricia Bundchen, the model’s twin sister and manager in Brazil, said in a telephone interview in September from Sao Paulo. She declined to discuss details of the arrangements last week.

Tom Brady is a lucky, lucky man. Do you think that Gisele is a closet Austrian or has the collapse of the dollar just so obvious that everyone knows to get as far away from it as possible?

I think not being an academic economist means she has more common sense than most who bear tat title.
