Supermodel Refuses to be Paid in Dollars

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

The world's richest model has reportedly reacted in her own way to the sliding value of the US dollar - by refusing to be paid in the currency.

Gisele Bündchen is said to be keen to avoid the US currency because of uncertainty over its strength.

The Brazilian, thought to have earned about $30m in the year to June, prefers to be paid in euros, her sister and manager told the Bloomberg news agency.

If that's not proof the dollar is in trouble, I don't know what is!

Hey, it's serious bling, impervious to all but the most powerful acids, and it's got over six thousand years of satisfied owners singing its praises.
