Gisele Bündchen Spends $9.1 Million on a Ranch so Her Daughter Can Ride a Horse

Supermodel Gisele Bündchen has purchased a South Florida ranch valued at approximately $9.1 million to provide her daughter, Vivian, with a private space to pursue her passion for horse riding away from the media spotlight.

Gisele, 43, shares her children, 13-year-old Benjamin and 10-year-old Vivian, with ex-husband Tom Brady, the NFL quarterback. She revealed her motivation for buying the ranch, stating, “Because I was taking her riding at this place, and every time I was taking her there, it became paparazzi central. I was like, ‘I can’t live like this. I want to be enjoying with my daughter. This should be a fun thing that we get to do together. So I was like, this way, I can have her practice what she loves.”

Gisele also shared her daughter’s enthusiasm for horse riding, explaining that Vivian’s horse, Item, is gentle and well-suited for her. She mentioned Vivian’s ambition to jump higher and expressed her motherly reassurance, saying, “He takes care of Vivi, and I like that because he’s a very easy horse. But she’s already like, ‘Mom, I have to have a new horse to jump higher.’ I’m like, ‘Calm down.’ ‘I’ll work, Mom. I’ll work and I’ll help you.’ She’s like, ‘I need to jump higher.’ I’m like, ‘You’re 10, calm down. Your horse jumps like a meter, 20. You’re going to be fine. I think it’s fine where you’re jumping right now.”

Gisele and Tom Brady finalized their divorce in 2022, and Gisele recently acknowledged the challenges her family has faced during this period. She remarked, “It’s been very tough on my family. It’s been a lot — in every area of my life. I feel like whenever it rains, it pours. With all the different twists and turns that life takes, all we can do is the best we can given what happens in our surroundings.”
