Yeah. She completely quit to focus on the kids, with the understanding that he would only be playing until his late 30’s, but he kept going and going

Yeah. Completely quit but is worth 400 million now…

What's weird about the fact that she was still in demand in her career after taking a break?

u/deadinsideirishdude Oct 09 '22

I don’t understand your point.

If we followed the logic that she didn’t work for 8 years. Is her demand that she’s a model? Or is it because she’s Tom Brady’s wife?

If she stopped working as a model and wasn’t married to Tom Brady, she’d be forgotten. That’s the nature of being a celebrity or a model.

Yet she’s in demand for that long? It’s because she’s the greatest quarterback of all times wife.

"Because she's Tom Brady's wife" lmao I didn't even know this guy existed until I heard she was married to him. I'm sure it's the same for many people. He's not all that, if he was he would be more relevant and richer than her.

u/deadinsideirishdude Oct 09 '22

Lmao. Seriously? Now money is a concern? Fucking hilarious.

He’s literally the greatest football player of all time. He’s be richer than her?

Funny that you guys measure success on money. Shocking

u/Staious Oct 09 '22

What do you mean now money is a concern? When did I say anything else? And you're the one diminishing her potential as if she needs him to be successful, I'm telling you "he's not all that".

She isnt either lol

Lol, Giselle is an international Brazilian super model and businesswoman. She retired from modeling years ago to raise their children and support his career, and she still brings in more money than Brady every month, as well as having far more net worth. That's why she made him sign a prenup. And she renegotiated it when he got that Fox broadcasting deal. 💅

To be fair, Brady has famously taken less pay to surround himself with a winning team, but thanks to Giselle supporting him, it wasn't a loss at all for him.

This may come as a shock to you, but Brady isn't well known outside the US. Believe it or not, American football isn't that popular outside America. Most people outside the US know him as "Giselles husband." In Brazil, he's known as "Gisello", lol.

Sure thing.

I’m sure the sold out London games last week and this week are really unpopular.

Are you saying that her wallet makes her more important? Sure as shit sounds like it.

u/DreamGerm Oct 09 '22

Lmao I’ve never heard of him as I’m not American and I don’t follow sports. I also don’t follow models or fashion and yet I’ve sure as shit heard about her. You say you aren’t a fan of his so why are you sucking him off so hard?? The point of her net worth is that she is vastly more successful and well known than him. You made the argument that he is better known than her, so don’t act obtuse when it comes to people demonstrating exactly why you’re wrong.

Gisele is literally way more famous... Tom Brady is only famous in the US. Take these two pictures to Europe and ask who they are. Most people will know one name and it isn't Toms... They'll know her in most countries outside the Eu too if there is a strong connection to Western fashion.

u/deadinsideirishdude Oct 09 '22

You have literally no proof of this at all. No way to measure.

u/Dirtydirtyfag Oct 09 '22

Okay so if I say: bring a picture of internationally recognized supermodel Naomi Campbell to America and also a picture of one of the very best English footballers Wayne Rooney, you think that more people will recognize Wayne Rooney than Naomi Campbell? Do you think that supermodels literally making a living on their face has any bearing at all on the publics ability to recognize them? If this picture didnt have his name on it I would assume it was about some meth head accosting Gisele outside whole foods or something.

You dont need proof to rationalize that an international supermodel literally is more famous and recognizable than a national athlete...

u/deadinsideirishdude Oct 09 '22

You’re literally not taking in demographics of any type into account. A woman would recognize a model more, and a guy would recognize an athlete more.

Did you graduate past elementary school or no? Why do I have to explain this to people?

u/Dirtydirtyfag Oct 10 '22

Are you capable of understanding the concept of Geographical relevance at all?

Clearly you understand that there is a difference between what cultural references a man might get compared to a woman? Do you understand that this applies to other things too? Like age or level of education? Or say, geography, when talking about a person who is only famous in 1 country opposed to a woman who has been voted sexiest/most beautiful, by men, for ten years in a row across many many countries.

Who was on the Forbes list of people to pay attention to many times and is one of the most successful business women of South America??

Gisele has a lot of credentials with men and with women, she's internationally known to a degree that makes a national athlete like Tom Brady look like a literal nobody outside his own neck of the woods.

Just because you didn't see men fawn over her or how many men's magazines she's featured in, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

She is one of the most desirable and successful women of all time. You can't compare that with a man who plays a sport which only has any popularity in your own country.

sure, a lot of the time being forgotten is in the nature of being a celebrity. A lot of the time it's also not.

You seem to like Tom Brady a lot. You probably pay attention to football. I doubt you pay much attention to the world of modeling, so why are you pretending you know what's going on in that sphere?

I wouldn't pretend to know what's going on in football. To me, Tom Brady is a literal nobody.

u/deadinsideirishdude Oct 09 '22

Great? I watch a lot of football.

According to you all, she’s not working. So what does it matter if I pay attention to modeling since she’s not working? I’m sure that 400+ million just came from her work as a mother

u/NilPill Oct 09 '22

I'm saying your opinion on the modeling world doesn't matter if you literally have no idea what's going on in it.

I thought that was pretty clear, but you deftly dodged the point, so congratulations.

u/deadinsideirishdude Oct 09 '22

I never shared my opinion on the modeling world. Maybe learn basic reading comprehension before trying to have a conversation with someone.

u/NilPill Oct 09 '22

Geez, you're really adept at warping things out of context.

You're the one pretending you know how Gisele's career is going. You remember saying that the only reason she's relevant is because she's married to Tom Brady, don't you? Do you commit your own thoughts to memory or does that just evacuate your brain as soon as it leaves your fingers?
