Proving that she's not just a pretty face, supermodel Gisele Bundchen displayed a good head for figures this week as well, as reported in today's Globe:

NEW YORK - Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen is proving to be as savvy as professional investors hedging risks in the foreign-exchange market.

Bundchen, who Forbes magazine says earned an industry-best $33 million in the year through June, is making sure she is paid where she works, according to Patricia Bundchen, her twin sister and manager.

The 27-year-old model's currency prowess surfaced in the Sept. 12 issue of the 1 million-circulation Brazilian weekly Veja, which quoted Bundchen's preference to be paid in euros for representing Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble Co.'s Pantene hair products.
