Gisele Bundchen

The star: This Brazilian beauty rules the modeling world, thanks to contracts with Dior, Versace, Victoria's Secret, Louis Vuitton and other famous brands. But most readers probably know her best for her romance with Leo DiCaprio and subsequent marriage to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Her $25 million in earnings last year placed her 85th on Forbes' 2010 Celebrity 100.

Amount owed: $72,003.

What happened: The State of California reckons the supermodel came up a bit short on her 2009 taxes and filed a lien for that amount in Los Angeles County. Let's chalk it up to a very busy year for the Brady household, what with the December 2009 birth of their son Benjamin and Tom's $16 million signing bonus that brought his annual salary to $26.5 million, according to The Detroit News. Nice to know there's a breadwinner in the family!

The outcome: Not to worry. With mad looks like hers, mad skills like his and a combined annual income to rival a Third World country, this golden couple doubtless will be good for the debt.
