In 1993, a then-13-year-old Gisele joined a modelling course with her sisters at her mother's insistence. The following year, she went to S ufffdo Paulo on a school excursion. She was spotted there in a McDonald's outlet by a modelling agency. She was subsequently selected for a national contest, Elite Look of the Year, in which she placed second. She came fourth in the world contest.u00a0 In 1996, Gisele moved to New York City to begin her modelling career, debuting at the New York Fashion Week.u00a0 Gisele was one of Victoria's Secret Angels from 2000 until 2007. Since 2004, she has been the highest-paid model in the world and the sixteenth richest woman in the entertainment industry with an estimated $150 million fortune. As an occasional actress, she had supporting roles in Taxi (2004) and The Devil Wears Prada (2006).
