For many years, Tom Brady – Gisele Bundchen has always been the ideal model in marriage. Therefore, the couple’s decision to break up after 13 years of marriage surprised many people.
Recently, People Magazine revealed that football legend Tom Brady did everything to save his broken marriage with model Gisele Bundchen.
Before the two filed for divorce in court last weekend, because he did not want his 13-year marriage to end and his two 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren to fall into the separation of parents, he was “ready to go to psychotherapy, counseling marriage counseling or whatever is needed to mend the relationship.” But his wife, Bundchen, thinks Brady’s efforts are “still too little, and too late”.
A person close to the couple said, “Bundchen gave Brady many opportunities to correct his mistakes, but he kept letting them go.” What Bundchen wants is “simply Brady should stay home more to take care of the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren”, but he is “busy with a passion for rugby”.

When Brady turned 45, Bundchen hoped Brady would think seriously about retiring, then focus on his family. He indulged her when announcing the end of a brilliant career spanning 23 years in February 2022. But just 40 days later, he withdrew his decision to retire, continued with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and became the oldest midfielder to start a game in the history of the American Football League (NFL).
Before joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brady spent two decades playing for the New England Patriots, leading the team to 17 championships (including 11 consecutive titles from 2009 to 2019), 13 AFC Championship Games ( with 8 consecutive times from 2011 to 2018), 9 times attended the Super Bowl and won 6 titles. With the Buccaneers, he helped them win Super Bowl LV, setting a personal record with 10 Super Bowl appearances and 7 championships. Without a doubt, Brady is the greatest player, a living legend in rugby history.
Of course, everything has two sides. Brady had to sacrifice many things to have an unprecedented career.

“I haven’t had Christmas in 23 years, nor Thanksgiving in 23 years,” he said. “I didn’t celebrate 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡days for the people I love from August to late January. I attend funerals and I can’t attend many weddings.”
From Bundchen’s perspective, she has always said that rugby is too violent and causes her husband to often face injuries. She wanted Brady to have more fun off the field, instead of enduring physical pain. And when Brady refused to compromise, divorce was inevitable.
One of the things that fans are interested in is the division of assets. How can this famous couple handle a fortune of up to 733 million dollars, not to mention real estate scattered in many parts of the world?
Tom Brady’s Happy Family
With Brady, he accumulated $ 333 million during 23 years of playing football. From a starting salary of $860,000 for a three-year contract signed in 2000, just two years later he landed a five-year deal worth $30.5 million. In 2005, he signed another six-year contract worth $60 million.
In 2006, Brady’s career rose like a kite, while Bundchen was also a bright model. She has starred in the advertising campaigns of Dolce & Gabanna, Valentino, Ralph Lauren and Versace, striding the catwalk with the collections of Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Christian Dior and more.
Bundchen has also appeared on the cover of Vogue 37 times, alongside such prestigious magazines as W, Allure, GQ, Forbes, Marie Claire, Time, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone and Eqsuire. A five-year contract with Victoria’s Secret in 2000 brought her $25 million. Then she broke into the acting field – starring in the 2004 version of Taxi, appearing in the popular 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada.
Brady and Bundchen got to know each other and got married in 2019.
When the two got to know each other and got married in 2019, their own careers were more and more sublimated, meaning their assets were constantly increasing. Launching the Ipanema line of flip-flops in 2010, and then selling over 250 million pairs, Bundchen grossed about $197 million. Bundchen launched a new eco-friendly skincare line called Sejaa Pure Skincare, then became the face of Chanel’s Les Beiges makeup line, a contract she earned. 4 million dollars.
As a football superstar, Brady received $ 25 million in dogs to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020. 1 year later the contract value increased to $ 41 million. In the 2022 season, despite being 45 years old and intending to retire, he still received a contract of $ 8.9 million.
Additionally, Brady pocketed $52 million from endorsement deals, owns a lifestyle brand called TB12, which reportedly brings him $20.3 million annually, and has a NFT Autograph and a production company 199 Productions.
Even so, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Bundchen’s own net worth is still more than Brady’s, about $ 400 million. Of course, they didn’t calculate what to do during their 13 years of marriage. In most of the time together, the two always try to build a home.
Brady and Bundchen co-own a $3.6 million condo in New York City, a $17 million mansion located on Miami’s Indian Creek Island, a lavish estate in Yellowstone, Montana , supposedly worth $5.7 million and a gorgeous mansion in Costa Rica.
Two years ago, this wealthy couple bought a nearly 2,000 square foot home on Indian Creek Island, Florida, then demolished it and built a modern mansion at a total cost of more than 10 million dollars. Nestled along Biscayne Bay, this island is considered one of the safest and wealthiest areas in America. Brady and Bundchen’s mansion consists of three buildings, a guard post and a gymnasium. The main house has 5 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, an elevator, a movie theater, an organic garden, a baseball field, a yoga studio and 3 kitchens.
To process the huge wealth will take a long time. It’s not hard work, though, as Brady and Bundchen both say it’s an amicable divorce. They try to come to an agreement that is good for both of them and the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren.
