Giselle Bundchen is arguably one of the biggest names to ever come out of Brazil. The recently-single fashion icon recently returned home for the Sapucaí Carnival to continue her partnership with Brahma Beer, who gave her millions just to appear at their sponsored event.

Giselle partnered up with the beer company way back in 2004 when she was still starting out her legendary modeling career. She attended this year's event once again, showing off her dance skill while dancing the samba and rocking some Brahma Beer merch.

According to Marca, Gisele appeared at the Carnivale event looking as she first did for the beer brand 20 years ago. However, while Giselle does not drink beer herself, she still agreed to sport a black Brahma top and was at the beer event for around three hours.

She was paid a staggering $2 million just to appear in their VIP room and wear that black top. This means that just by appearing there and the amount of money she received, she was paid around $11,000 per minute.

Giselle Bundchen is Starting Over Fresh

The Sapucaí Carnival in Rio de Janeiro may be the refresh that Gisele needed. Sure, she got a huge paycheck from an old business partner, but the former supermodel was seen to be actually enjoying herself as she partied in Rio.

A source close to Giselle told PEOPLE magazine that the Brazilian supermodel is "starting over in a good frame of mind," and feeling "confident, strong and better than she has in a long, long time."

Tom Brady Vacationing With Their Three Kids as Giselle Bundchen Was Attending the Sapucaí Carnival

Three days before the world-famous Sapucaí Carnival, the Brazilian fashion icon had been teasing that she was "in the mood for Carnival." The last time she attended the event, she came with her then-husband Tom Brady. Now that she is single again, the 42-year-old seems to be freer as she partied at the Brahma Beer event.

This begs the question, while she attended Carnival, where was Tom Brady? According to Page Six, the recently-retired football legend was on a snowy vacation with his three kids, Jack, 15; Benjamin, 13; and Vivian, 10.

He fathered Jack with actress Bridgett Mognahan, while he had Benjamin and Vivian with Gisele. The Tom Brady-Gisele Bundchen divorce was amicable, with both stars co-parenting the kids. This means that while Gisele was partying in her home country, Brady was more than happy to vacation with their children.

The two had a very public spat that resulted in Gisele leaving their home in Tampa, Florida and running to Costa Rica. She did not come home since but did spend time with their children from time to time. The spat came from Brady's decision to come out of retirement, and it ultimately ended in divorce.
