Gisele's new photo book sells out on day one
Gisele Bundchen is celebrating after the limited edition photo book featuring her most iconic modelling images sold out on its first day of release.
Fans weren't put off by the $700 price tag and rushed to get their hands on the coffee table photo book, released by bosses at German publishing company Taschen to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the start of Gisele's career.
The book features 300 shots of the Brazilian beauty in various
states of undress, and the model signed all 1,000 copies.
Gisele, who recently topped Forbes magazine's highest-paid model
list for the ninth consecutive year, with an estimated $44 million
fortune, celebrated the release - and the immediate sellout - by
posting a thank you note to fans online.
"(I'm feeling) gratitude for the love and affection I received from
everyone today at the launch of my book, thank you for being
present at this very special moment for me," she wrote in
Portuguese alongside an Instagram.com photo of her posing with her
hands clasped in prayer.
All proceeds from the book, titled Gisele, will go to charity.
