"This is our way of repaying society for all the wealth we've received for essentially doing nothing for others," said Bundchen. "Let's face it, I've gotten rich taking my clothes off and acting horny, and Tom gets paid to throw the skin of a dead pig.

The palace on the $31 million estate will include eight bedrooms,a six-car garage, a lagoon-shaped swimming pool with spa, weight room and a wine cellar. The mansion features a covered bridge connecting its two wings, an elevator, nursery and art gallery.
