Ron Paul, Supermodels and the Federal Reserve

November 9th, 2007 by Steve

We all expect congressman and presidential wannabe Ron Paul to understand more about the devaluation of the dollar than Fed Chair Ben Bernanke.  It seems that Brazilian Supermodel Gisele Bündchen has a better understanding of economics than the Fed Chairman, too.

Proving that she has business sense to match her beauty, the former girlfriend of actor Leonardo DiCaprio, has said that she is willing to be paid in nearly any currency apart from the dollar to maximise her earnings.

According to Bloomberg, Patricia Bündchen, the model’s twin sister and manager said: “Contracts starting now are more attractive in euros because we don’t know what will happen to the dollar.”

The newswire said that when she signed a new contract in August with American company Procter & Gamble to advertise Pantene hair products, the deal included the stipulation that she be paid in euros. P&G declined to comment on the terms of the deal.
