"The more you trust your intuition, the more empowered you become, the stronger you become, and the happier you become."
~ Gisele Bündchen
Brazilian supermodel, activist, and businesswoman, Gisele Bündchen has been one of the most successful and highest-paid models in the world.
Just to give you an idea of how successful she has been: In 2007, she was the 16th richest woman in the entertainment industry, and in 2014, Gisele was listed as the 89th Most Powerful Woman in the World by Forbes.
About Gisele Bündchen's Real Height
Gisele Bündchen is a pretty tall model, so by default, she is a very tall woman. She has claimed to be five feet eleven inches tall in the past and has been listed at that much most of her career.
But is she really that tall? It is a known fact that modeling agencies often inflate the height of their models, in Gisele's case this seems to be the case as well -- though admittedly not by much.
We took a good at Ms. Bündchen and compared her height to that of people like Heidi Klum (5'9"), Tyra Banks (5'10"), Karolina Kurkova (5'11"), etc. and came to the conclusion that Gisele seems to be a bit shorter than her official height listing -- by at least an inch.
The height of Gisele Bündchen is
5'10" or 178 cm
