Are you with Tom Brady or with Gisele Bundchen?

Giselle is no fool. He is at major risk of all sorts of things from his concussions-mental illness, early dementia, etc. She was willing to take those risk as part of the deal for only so long. Now with another season, he increases risk of disability even more.

As a parent of a child with medical issues and a disability and the daughter of a volatile mother with mental illness, I have also been through dementia with a parent and none of this would be a walk in the park with even all the money in the world to throw at it (though it would be easier). If she stays married and this season gives him another head injury that tips the scales she could within the next 10-15 years be looking at a life of hell. The press will eviscerate her for not doing enough for him as he declines. She will be eviscerated for going out and having fun with friends while he is home disabled even if it's self care. She will have a partner who not only doesn't do his part, but drains every ounce of her energy of he becomes moody and abusive or declines into depression or develops dementia. If she divorces him once he becomes disabled, she is a monster.

If she divorces him and he declines into disability thanks to football injuries, she is a saint in the press if she arranges care and checks on his now and then and stays in his life. She can find a new husband and she is still considered a good person because she doesn't abandon him.

Sorry, if she divorces him NOW before any decline, she saves herself a lot of heartache.

Seriously? She's one of the most successful models in the world. Most of the world doesn't care about American football and there isn't a lot of money in American football when compared to the beauty industry.

Huh? He’s been making 10-25 million per year plus multimillion dollar signing bonuses for the past 20 years. No model has that kind of longevity

Are quarterbacks at high risk of brain injury? I don't know diddly about sports - but I thought quarterbacks sort of do a pretty safe thing, then mostly aren't around for the rough stuff.

Most of her wealth has probably come from business ventures in Brazil. I know years ago she had a very popular sandal brand in Brazil.

I'll add that for OP's question it doesn't matter.

Many people in intense careers make it very clear to their spouse that their careers come before the marriage and kids. Or at least they make clear that they are never going to stop doing what they are doing. This isn't the case with Tom and Gisele.

Come on guys. I know you know how to use google.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/andersonantunes/2014/07/10/how-gisele-bundchen-earned-386-million-throughout-her-career-and-scored-a-spot-at-sundays-world-cup-final/?sh=47a0ce5947cb

"The last twelve months, however, can be described as the best in Bundchen's two-decade career. According to FORBES estimates, the Brazilian supermodel pocketed $47 million (or $128,000 per day), thanks to lucrative contracts with the likes of H&M , Chanel , Carolina Herrera and Louis Vuitton. Since the list came out late last month, Bundchen got two new high-profile contracts, with Emilio Pucci and Balenciaga. Not to mention her Chanel No. 5 gig, which will include a commercial directed by none other than Moulin Rouge’s Baz Luhrmann.

She also lends her image to several Brazilian brands and companies like Falabella, a Chilean department store, and Fidelia, a Korean lingerie brand owned and run by CJ Corporation.

In addition to her endorsements, Bundchen has also cashed in through deals with companies that want to monetize on her name. Her line of sandals with Grendene, one of the world's leading makers of synthetic footwear, is a success in Brazil and abroad, today even rivaling the world-renowned Havaianas brand. Plus she recently teamed-up with Hope, Brazil's answer to Victoria's Secret, to launch her own lingerie brand. She also launched her own line of beauty products in 2011, Sejaa Pure Skincare. Altogether, the products that bear Bundchen's name generate roughly $1 billion per year in sales.

The partnership has been so successful that Hope is now using Bundchen's name to create a network of stores in Brazil and internationally which will sell exclusively the pieces designed by the supermodel.

"Gisele is our best brand today, Fabio Figueiredo, Hope's director of expansion, told Bloomberg. "We still have lots of room for growth in Brazil, but we have to think strategically where we want to grow and we want to be a global brand." The first Hope store dedicated to Bundchen's Gisele Bundchen Brazilian Intimates brand has already been opened in Paris' Galeries Lafayette, one of the oldest and most visited department stores in the world.

Giselle is currently and has always been the breadwinner in that family. She’s out earned him the whole time and she will continue to earn for as long as she wants.

She probably made in 2 years what he made in 20 years, esp because he was fine being paid below market in NE to avoid cap issues for the team.

+1. The Vanity Fair article practically writes itself- hubris as the angle with a fallen Greek God.
