As the old saying goes, "Money can't buy me love." Well in Naomi Campbell's case, love can buy her a new home in Brazil.The supermodel-actress recently purchased a $18.5 million penthouse apartment in Jardins, Brazil courtesy of her Russian billionaire boyfriend Vladimir Doronin.
Now that's love!
According to the 'New York Post,' the 38-year-old beauty mentioned to Doronin how much she adores the country and "wanted to settle down there" in the near future.
The surprise "gift," in which the couple will official call their Brazilian residence, wasn't the only point of interest they claimed during the recent visit.
Following their multi-million dollar purchase the love birds traveled to the shores of Bahia, Brazil where they rented a beach house worth $50,000 per day.
Must be nice.

Hopefully Campbell's relationship with the billionaire will prevent her from going on any future temper tantrums.
Earlier this year the fashion icon allegedly spit in a police officer's face at London's Heathrow airport when one of her bags went missing.
Nowadays she has more important things to worry about, such as the launch of her new clothing line via Brazilian boutique Daslu's new label 284.
Campbell told a local Brazilian newspaper that the line is intended "for strong women," and she hopes "everybody will like it."

I hope she doesn't lose her temper and begin slapping him around. Perhaps love will cool that volatile temper of hers. I must get a look at the Vladimir Doronin. Best of luck to her, I hope she'll be happy. She probably deserves it.

Pictures 97, 98 & 99... No why do these say, "Naomi Campbell attends the Baby Phat Fall 2008 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion?" This is fa-sho Tyra Banks in these pictures. Careless typo or subliminal joke?

Naomi has an undiagnosed BiPolar Disorder. This relationship won't last unless she gets the proper medication for this disease.

Never ceases to amaze me how wasteful these people are with their money. They contribute nothing to the world but live better than people out there actually trying to make a difference. And they don't seem to have the least bit of a problem with that. Amazing.

Black men can only dream of getting next to Ms. Campbell.
She considers them beneath her. As a matter of fact, she considers everyone beneath her, that's why she has no respect for anyone. I don't endorse anything she does. She makes millions in the this country but have you ever seen her doing anthing for the kids in this country? I have not. Only thing I have seen her do is community service. And that was not by choice.
