BUT If you imply in the USA where she owns several homes, then sorry to tell you that your information is erroneous, she was audited and being audited vs having your house raided are two very different things, an audit consists of a letter asking you and/or your tax accountant for specific information and documents and YES in the USA you better take their letter seriously and answer the IRS quickly because when they ask they are serious about fixing whatever confusion they have, when they raid you, then they have no questions because they already know you cheated. So if you have no issues you send them the information and they are happy, over and done...till next year...
BELIEVE me when I tell you that the USA IRS does not function nor work on what Forbes reports they do not need to, the IRS is more powerful and resourceful than almost any other federal agency anywhere in the world, they know absolutely everything about everybody and their mother. I do not care what ms. bundchen may have said as to why she was audited, it sure as heck was not over what a gossip rag claims, nor do I feel any empathy, she can afford to hire a very good accountant. I am sure Forbes keeps their own records in an orderly manner...heaven forbid the IRS might have questions for them...
It would be very good for India if their IRS started cracking down there too, because double the people who currently pay, should be paying income tax...
You dont care but i believe her words. Then when they checked again and found nothing shady. THey showedup because forbes overestiamted her. So yes forbes can put people in trouble
She got audited because of this list and yes they couldnt find anything. But it was not needed. Forbes need to get their act together. They makeup numbers without proper sources at all.
I disagree with your opinion. I believe gisele's words over you. We have to agree to disagree

The day before taxes are due, supermodel Gisele Bundchen has revealed that her placement on the Forbes Rich List prompted the IRS to audit her.

Bundchen placed number one on the list of the world's highest-paid supermodels - for the seventh year straight.
Forbes estimated the Brazilian beauty earned $42 million in the year from June 2012 to June 2013.

However, the mother-of-two says the estimate was inaccurate.
'It’s sad, because the people who write these things don’t have my bank account details,' the 33-year old supermodel revealed to MdeMulher, a Brazilian online publication.

Forbes estimated Bundchen's earnings based on editorial shoots, independent licensing ventures, spokesperson gigs and contracts from beauty and fashion companies to come up with the figure.
'I do OK, I earn plenty, but not as much as they say. I’ve already been audited by the IRS because of this list and, truthfully, whether I’m on this list or not doesn’t interest me.'
Bundchen said the IRS audit didn't turn up anything, because the Forbes estimate of her earnings was incorrect.

Though her endorsement earnings dipped this year, the 33-year-old is still one of the most powerful supermodels.
According to Forbes, during the year 2013-2013, she replaced Beyonce as the face of H&M, reportedly beat out Rihanna for Chanel and took over David Yurman from Kate Moss - all while pregnant with Vivian, her second child with quarterback husband Tom Brady.
Moreover, she said, being including in such a list was meaningless for her.
'I’ve got the same interests, the same day-to-day life, as any woman. I want to raise my children well, be a good wife and work,' she said.

'This is what I value: Are my children educated, is my husband happy, are people feeling positive energy from me? There should be a magazine to quantify knowledge, understanding and love for people: That is power.'
