Gisele Bundchen Hocks Sandals in Germany

She’s the highest-paid supermodel in the world, and Gisele Bundchen didn’t attain that status by turning down gigs. Her latest assignment finds her overseas promoting footwear.

That’s right, the Brazilian babe was spotted earlier today at the Adlon Hotel in Berlin, Germany for a photocall. It seems Ipanema hired Bunchen to help boost the sales of their G2B collection of sandals.

And speaking of boosting sales, rumor has it that an image of the bare-breasted beauty smoking a cigarette is about to fetch a hefty sum at an upcoming auction.

Taken by photographer Michel Comte, the portrait of Gisele currently holds a price guide of $12,000-$16,000. However, a recent portrait of her sold for nearly $200,000 at auction, so there’s no telling how much the artwork will end up going for.

If you’re feeling lucky, stop by Christie’s auction house next month and place a bid.
