• Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen met through a friend back in 2006 — and it was pretty much love at first sight.

Meanwhile, Bundchen has frequently ranked on lists of the wealthiest and most powerful women in entertainment. In 2016, she made Forbes’ list of highest paid celebrities.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, the couple is worth a total of $540 million. NESN.com and The Week reported Bundchen often out-earns her husband by a margin of millions.
