Gisele Slashes Asking Price on Her Penthouse

Filed under: Estates

Brazilian bombshell Gisele Bundchen just slashed a whopping $5 million off the original asking price on her Manhattan penthouse. The supermodel first listed the West Village spread at $10.9 million last September, then lowered the price a few times, ending up at $7.9 million before withdrawing it from the market in the spring.

Now the Wall Street Journal reports Bundchen just re-listed the pad for $5.9 million, a nearly 50% reduction. She paid almost $3 million for the modern 1,700-sq.ft. triplex with a wraparound terrace and roofdeck overlooking the Hudson River in 2002.

Meanwhile, the Journal also notes that Bundchen's beau, football star Tom Brady, has upped the price on his 3,000-sq.ft., three-bedroom apartment at the Time Warner Center. He first listed it in 2007 for $16.5 million before taking it off the market. He has now re-listed the spread at $18.29 million, about a 30% increase.
