What better way to start the Hump Day than with a full-spread post about Brazilian supermodels?

You can thank me later, but let's not miss the real point. Forbes magazine recently ranked the top-earning models in the world and AOL Latin points out that three of the Top Five were Brazilian women. It's hardly surprising, coming from a country that turns out exotic, toned, golden-skinned, vibrant and curvaceous women. Who are they who made the Top Five? Gisele Bündchen, who made "$33 million this year. According to Forbes, her fortune is close to $200 million," Adriana Lima, the "fourth highest paid model in the world, with an estimated income of $6 million," and Alessandra Ambrosio, "a Victoria's Secret model. (Remember that lingerie made entirely with candy?) She follows Lima in the Forbes' list, ranking fifth and earning $6 million last year."

But they're not all. There are quite a few Brazilian models samba-ing down the runways. Aol
