While IMG is losing Gisele, they’ve recently picked up some high-profile new talent, signing both poet Amanda Gorman and Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff in the last month.
‘It’s been a hot January as new faces and fresh blood are coming into the modeling industry,’ Page Six’s source at IMG said.
Gisele is believed to be one of the modeling industry’s top earners, reportedly raking in $10million a year in 2018 per Forbes.
Discovered at just 14 while at a mall in her native Brazil, the 5foot11 stunner became a breakout star during New York Fashion week in 1996, having made her runway debut two years earlier.
She was a Victoria’s Secret Angel from 2000 to 2007, wearing the coveted Fantasy Bra in 2000 and 2005.
Gisele has also graced over 41 Vogue covers throughout her career.

In 2016 she announced she was quitting the catwalk, sharing an Instagram and writing: ‘I am grateful that at 14, I was given the opportunity to start this journey.
‘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.’
Her final strut was something of a homecoming, modeling looks from Colcci during Sao Paulo Fashion Week in April 2016.
She has continued to pose for magazine shoots and luxury fashion campaigns since, however.
