Gisele's twin fears kidnap

Supermodel GISELE BUNDCHEN's twin sister is terrified her family could be kidnapped - after it was reported the beauty had sent around £5.4 million back to her family in Brazil.

The runway queen was recently named the richest model in the world by Forbes magazine, whose editors estimated she has an annual income of £19 million.

And a pal told America's Star magazine last month (Sep08) that Bundchen regularly deposits huge amounts of her fortune into her parents' account, to help support themselves and her five sisters.

But the star's sibling Patricia Bundchen has dismissed the reports, and insists the speculation could put her family in danger.

According to TMZ.com, she says, "I have no idea who could have made up a story like that. (It's) very very dangerous for Gisele's family."
