Model wants to be paid in Euros, not dollars:

New York, NY (CNS) - Leggy Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen has recently admitted that she won't work for dollars and prefers to get paid in Euros instead. The 27-year-old beauty insists that the U.S. currency is too weak for her to accept as payment for her work.

According to Bloomberg news, Bundchen's manager Patricia said: "Contracts starting now are more attractive in euros because we don't know what will happen to the dollar."

Bundchen has already taken steps in assuring her paychecks come in the right currency. It has been reported that she has asked current employer Procter and Gamble, where she is the face for Pantene hair products, to pay her in Euros.

Forbes magazine lists Bundchen as the highest-earning model in the world.

Most recently, the American dollar has plummeted to its lowest ever last week against other currencies, including the euro, Canadian dollar, and Chinese yuan. It is also the cheapest in 26 years against the British pound.
