Tom Brady Gisele Mansion mansion
Tom Brady Gisele Mansion mansion, Well, they needed somewhere big enough to house three Super Bowl trophies.

Gisele Bundchen, 30, and her American footballer husband Tom Brady are in the middle of building a jaw-dropping $20 million mega-mansion.
Construction has been under way on the sprawling 22,000 square-foot home for over a year, and the palatial pad is coming along nicely.

The eight-bedroom mansion sits on 3.75 acres high in the hills of Brentwood, California.
The huge plot dwarfs neighbouring properties, including Arnold Schwarzenegger's and Heidi Klum and Seal's homes.It boasts a lift, lagoon-shaped pool, wine cellar, parking for six cars, weights room and a covered bridge connecting two buildings.
New England Patriots star Tom, 33, purchased the plot of land for $11 million in 2008, before they were married.


According to TMZ, at the time Tom took out an $8.225 mortgage to be paid back over five years.
He also had plans drawn up for the property which were later scrapped because the house wasn't big enough, according to the celebrity website.
But clearly the couple see no need to scrimp, considering she earned $25 million (£15m) last year.
And in September, Tom signed a four-year contract extension with the Patriots worth a staggering $72 million - making him the highest paid player in the NFL.



While their dream home is coming along nicely, the couple - who have a one-year-old, Benjamin - are emroiled in legal trouble over their bodyguards.
Three of their security team, Miguel Solis, Manuel Valverde and Alexander Rivas, are due in court in Costa Rica on April 29 over allegations they fired at photographers during Tom and Gisele's 2009 wedding.
The three men will attend a private oral hearing in Puntarenas after charges were filed by Agence France-Presse photographer Yuri Cortez and Rolando Aviles of Costa Rican newspaper Al Dia.
But Tom has previously hit back at claims his staff used weapons against the paparazzi. '[It's] absolute total b.s,' he told Sports Illustrated in June 2009. 'We found two guys on our property, and we told them to get out. Our security guys didn't even have guns. There were no shots fired.'
