Gisele Bundchen: Global Environment Citizen Honoree

Posted Friday May 6, 2011 11:17 PM GMT

Stepping out to be recognized for her good deeds, Gisele Bundchen was toasted at the 2011 Global Environment Citizen Awards in New York City on Friday (May 6).

With the event being held at The Harvard Club, the Brazilian beauty was clad in a Victoria Beckham frock as she was presented a plaque by Dr. Eric Chivian for her patronization of environmental conservation and sustainable living efforts.

And while she certainly gives back, Miss Bundchen can definitely afford to be generous - as the 30-year-old was named as Forbes‘ top-earning model of 2010.

Gisele's top spot comes as she pulled in an impressive $45 million with Heidi Klum being named as the runner-up with less than half the earnings at $20 million.
