LONDON - Gisele Bundchen, the world’s highest paid supermodel, has donated $1.5 million for relief efforts for Haiti earthquake victims.
Haiti was hit by a 7.0 magnitude quake Tuesday, which might have killed more than 100,000 people.
The Brazilian supermodel handed over the cash to the Red Cross after seeing reports of devastation that the earthquake caused, reports imdb.com.
“I am heartbroken by the catastrophic events of the past six days in Haiti. It is important in times like these that we come together and find ways to help in any way we can,” said Bundchen.
While star couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated $1 million, Pitt and George Clooney’s Not On Our Watch charity has donated another $1 million.
Meanwhile, Haitian-born Wyclef Jean is raising cash through his Yele foundation and Madonna has donated $250,000 toward relief efforts.
