She announced a couple weeks ago that she is 'finally on vacation.'

And Gisele Bundchen seemed to be having a ball as she frolicked on the beach in Costa Rica with her family on Sunday.

The 34-year-old supermodel carried her 19-month-old daughter Vivian and gave four-year-old son Benjamin a piggy back ride as she paraded her fabulous figure in a black bikini.

The former Victoria's Secret Angel was joined by her mother Vania, who snapped photos of her daughter and grandchildren.

It was a group affair, with several others along on the outing, including Gisele's dog Lua.

However, Gisele's husband, 36-year-old football star Tom Brady, didn't join in the fun.

It came just days after Vogue reported that Gisele earns a rather eye-popping $148,000 a day as the world's highest paid model.

It has been a busy year for Gisele, who become the face of H&M, starred in a film for Chanel shot by Baz Luhrmann and modelled for labels including Carolina Herrera, Isabel Marant, Emilio Pucci and Balenciaga.

This month alone she has managed a photo shoot in Miami and also performed official World Cup duties in Brazil. Her task was to unveil the trophy before the final match.

Gisele has had her earnings tracked by Forbes since 2001, who reports she has a net worth of around $427 million dollars.

However, the model - who was also placed 56th in the magazine's annual Celebrity 100 - has never confirmed her net worth and claims that the figures have been hugely overestimated.

She explained earlier this year: 'It's sad, because the people who write these things don't have my bank account details.

'I do OK, I earn plenty, but not as much as they say. I've already been audited by the IRS because of this list and, truthfully, whether I'm on this list or not doesn't interest me.'
