Today after 20 years in the industry, it is a privilege to be doing my last fashion show by choice and yet still be working in other facets of the business.” AP[/caption] [caption id=“attachment_2198668” align=“alignleft” width=“940”]  Bundchen, who earned $47 million last year, according to Forbes, says her body is telling her the time is right.

I respect my body. It’s a privilege to be able to stop." AP[/caption] [caption id=“attachment_2198672” align=“alignleft” width=“940”]  Gisele Bundchen walking her last ever fashion show in Sai Paolo.
