Supermodel Gisele Bunchen and her husband Tom Brady, player for the New England Patriots, are building a mega-mansion in the exclusive Brentwood section of Los Angeles, CA (right next to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s house). The couple bought the 3.75 acre property for a reported $11 million. It is going to cost an estimated $20 million more to construct the home. Not like that will hurt their pockets. Gisele alone is worth an estimated $150 million and is the highest paid supermodel in the world! The 22,000 square foot house boasts 8 bedrooms, a covered bridge, six-car garage, and a lagoon-shaped swimming pool. It is being built by Boston-based Suffolk Construction, whose CEO John Fish is a good friend of Brady’s. While celebrities building mega-mansions is not something new, Gisele is taking some heat over it because of the home’s environmental friendliness. If you don’t know already, Gisele was recently designated the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). How ironic, right?! Do you think it’s a good idea for them to be building such a huge house?
