Pakistan has raised its reward for information leading to Masood Azhar's arrest to 7 million rupees, weeks before the FATF plenary in Paris. Pakistan has raised the reward for information leading to the capture of Jaish-e-Mohammed founder Masood Azhar to 7 million Pakistani rupees, equal to about Rs 24.09 lakh in Indian currency. The country's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) still counts him among its most-wanted terrorists. The decision lands only weeks before the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) holds its plenary session in Paris from October 26 to 30. Those gatherings examine nations placed under closer scrutiny and take up matters tied to money laundering and the financing of terror groups. For years, officials in Islamabad have insisted that Azhar is no longer inside the country, saying he crossed into Afghanistan. Despite that claim, his details stay on the FIA's books, appearing in its 2026 "Red Book of Most Wanted High-Profile Terrorists." Azhar, 58, leads Jaish-e-Mohammed, a group based in Pakistan that India blames for several of the deadliest strikes on its soil over the last twenty years. The outfit has long been linked to Bahawalpur, one of the locations India targeted during Operation Sindoor. The United Nations Security Council has named Azhar a global terrorist. His organisation has been tied to the 2001 attack on Parliament, the 2008 Mumbai assault, the 2016 raid on the Pathankot airbase and the 2019 Pulwama bombing. His name surfaced again after the November 10, 2025 explosion close to Delhi's Red Fort. From Indian custody to Kandahar Azhar was once held in India but walked free in the aftermath of the December 1999 hijacking of Indian Airlines flight IC-814. Five men seized the plane as it travelled from Kathmandu to Delhi. The aircraft was flown through Amritsar, Lahore and Dubai before reaching Kandahar in Afghanistan, then held by the Taliban. Following a drawn-out standoff, New Delhi freed Azhar along with two other imprisoned militants to secure the release of the hostages. He set up Jaish-e-Mohammed shortly afterwards, around 1999-2000. Family losses in Operation Sindoor Azhar lived through Operation Sindoor, though the offensive claimed several of his relatives. On May 7, India carried out strikes on nine sites housing terrorist infrastructure, acting in response to the Pahalgam attack. Reports put the toll at no fewer than 10 members of Azhar's family, along with four of his associates. Among the dead were his elder sister, her husband, a nephew, the nephew's wife, a niece and five children from the wider family.

Microsoft will host a Windows and Surface event on October 7 in San Francisco, with Satya Nadella and Nvidia's Jensen Huang attending to discuss local AI. Microsoft will hold a major Windows and Surface event in San Francisco on October 7, its first big Windows showcase in more than two years. The company says the gathering will center on a "conversation on how local AI will shape the next chapter of the PC." The event begins at 10AM PT / 1PM ET. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will attend, alongside Pavan Davuluri, the executive who leads both Windows and Surface. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is also set to appear, an unusual guest for a Windows event and a signal of where the focus may land. Huang's presence points to RTX Spark PCs as a likely centerpiece of the presentation. If that holds, the event could also bring new details on pricing and availability for the Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra. Beyond hardware, Microsoft is expected to spend time on quality improvements to Windows and to outline what comes next for the operating system. A surprise reveal of Windows 12 is not anticipated. The October 7 date ends a long gap between flagship Windows events. Microsoft last held a major one in May 2024, when it unveiled Arm-based Copilot Plus PCs and highlighted a renewed partnership with Qualcomm. Before that, the company used a June 2021 live stream to announce Windows 11. The San Francisco event puts local AI - processing handled on the device rather than in the cloud - at the heart of Microsoft's pitch for the future of the PC.

The West Bengal Congress turned down a Trinamool Congress proposal to coordinate on the Nandigram and Rejinagar bypolls, opting to contest alone. The Congress has declined a proposal from the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress to form an alliance for upcoming bypolls in West Bengal, choosing instead to contest the seats on its own. The TMC had reached out to the Congress with an offer to coordinate: the Congress would contest Nandigram, while the Trinamool would fight Rejinagar. The West Bengal unit of the Congress rejected the arrangement. On Monday, the TMC announced its own candidates for both Nandigram and Rejinagar - a move that came only after the Congress had already named its nominees. Party sources said the state Congress refused a tie-up because it is trying to rebuild its organisation after a decade of steep decline in Bengal. Aligning with the Trinamool now, they argued, would undercut that effort to revive the party's base. "It's a local party decision," sources said when asked about the failure to strike a deal, even as the BJP has grown more aggressive after recently winning what was described as a Trinamool stronghold. A senior Congress leader stressed that the two parties remain closely aligned against the BJP. He said the Congress stands firmly with the Trinamool in opposing what he called the misuse of state power against the party, and pointed to their cooperation in Parliament. "But these are by elections, it is a very local affair. The local unit takes such decisions," he said. The breakdown in Bengal appears to have spilled over into Assam. The Trinamool has fielded a candidate in the Lok Sabha byelection for the Nagaon constituency, where the Congress is in a direct contest with the BJP. The BJP recently returned to power in Assam with a large majority. By entering the Nagaon race, the Trinamool threatens to turn a two-way fight into a triangular one. The party has fielded a Muslim candidate in the seat - a choice that could split votes and hurt the prospects of the Congress, its ally on the national stage.

Israeli officials slam the award-winning documentary Naza and threaten treason charges against directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor over its Gaza allegations. Israeli officials have condemned a new documentary about the military's conduct in Gaza and are calling for legal action against the filmmakers and the people who spoke to them. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday described the film, titled *Naza*, as "shocking" and accused it of forming part of a wave of anti-Semitic incitement. The documentary, directed by Israeli journalists Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, alleges that large numbers of civilian deaths were routinely factored into the military's targeting decisions during the war in Gaza. It won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday and had drawn a 25-minute standing ovation when it screened two days earlier. Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir has ordered a legal probe to identify the film's sources. According to the filmmakers, those sources include members of the military and Israeli intelligence whose identities are concealed in the film. Culture Minister Miki Zohar went further, suggesting the government could pursue treason charges against the directors and others connected to the project. "It's shocking. We are fighting global anti-Semitic incitement, and when it comes from within us it is intolerable," Netanyahu said in a video posted on Telegram. "And now two Israeli directors portraying the [Israeli military] as war criminals receive applause at the Venice festival." The prime minister's remarks followed a statement from Zamir, who framed the film as an attack on the state itself. "Based on what has been published thus far, this is not a film offering criticism of the [military], nor is it an attempt to establish the truth," Zamir said. "It is based on blood libels, deliberate distortions of reality, and grave, false accusations against [Israeli] soldiers and commanders." A probe into sources and citizenship Zamir instructed the Military Advocate General, whose authority is limited to military matters, to "examine and advance possible legal measures concerning the film and those involved in it." The order is aimed at tracing how serving and former personnel came to take part in the project. Zohar said he had asked authorities to "investigate how the materials were obtained, who is behind them, and whether in the process of obtaining or publishing them, actions were taken that amount to aiding the enemy during wartime." He added that he had requested the Interior Ministry consider stripping the two filmmakers of their citizenship on grounds of "treason." What the film alleges The documentary takes its name from an Israeli military term for anticipated "collateral casualties." It is built around anonymous interviews with intelligence officers and soldiers who took part in the war. In those interviews, the participants describe how targets inside the Gaza Strip were chosen and how many civilian casualties were weighed into planned attacks. Abraham and Szor have defended the project as a work aimed primarily at their own countrymen. "We believe that the denial of a crime is what helps it persist, and this is why it is especially important for us that Israelis watch this film; it is our country," the filmmakers said. The directors received the Special Jury Prize during the closing ceremony of the 83rd Venice Film Festival on the Venice Lido. Their win, and the standing ovation that preceded it, have turned the film into a flashpoint at home, where senior figures are now weighing charges that range from investigations into leaked material to the revocation of the filmmakers' citizenship.

Bob Mackie, the Tony- and nine-time Emmy-winning designer behind Cher's mohawk and Elton John's Dodgers outfit, has died at 87. Bob Mackie, the American designer whose glittering stage and screen costumes defined the looks of Cher, Tina Turner, Dolly Parton and Elton John, has died at the age of 87. A message posted to his Instagram account on Monday confirmed the news. "It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that Mr Bob Mackie passed away today," the statement read. It said he had "lived his 87 years to the fullest, fulfilling his dream of being a Fashion and Costume Designer, which is all he ever wanted to do," adding that his "genius and extraordinary designs will live on forever, continuing to bring beauty into this world." Nicknamed the "Sultan of Sequins" for his shimmering creations, Mackie collected a Tony Award and nine Emmys over the course of his career, along with three Oscar nominations. He kept working almost to the end, dressing a new generation of performers decades after his first designs reached the stage. Cher's 1986 'revenge' look His partnership with Cher proved one of the most defining of his career. He created the daring showgirl-style ensemble she wore to the Oscars in 1986, complete with a plumed mohawk headdress and an exposed midriff. The outfit stunned audiences and has since been remembered as one of the boldest ever seen at the ceremony. Cher came to call it her "revenge" outfit because she had been passed over for a nomination. "I didn't get nominated for a movie that everyone thought I would actually win for [Mask] - so was dressing that night for a kind of revenge," she said in the 2024 documentary Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion. Speaking to the BBC in 2010, Mackie recalled how singular Cher had appeared early in her career, saying she "looked like no-one else in the entertainment business at the time." He added: "Everybody just went crazy over this woman as she could wear anything." Cher is widely credited as the first woman to bare her navel on American television, a moment made possible by Mackie's daring designs. Elton John's Dodgers costume Mackie was also behind some of Sir Elton John's most memorable stage wear, including the sparkling Dodgers baseball uniform the singer wore during his 1975 concerts at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Paying tribute online, Sir Elton wrote that he "felt very, very special" every time he stepped out in one of Mackie's pieces. "His costumes were works of art, and he will go down as one of the most legendary designers ever in Hollywood," the musician added. The singer Pink, another longtime collaborator, said she had been fortunate to wear his work for years, sharing photographs of the outfits he made for her 2009 Funhouse tour. "I was so lucky to be dressed by him for so long. He was loving, wickedly funny and an absolute genius," she wrote, adding: "There are going to be some fabulously dressed angels." Still designing for today's stars Mackie's reach extended well into the present. Sabrina Carpenter wore one of his creations at last year's MTV Video Music Awards, and he designed the dress Miley Cyrus performed in at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Cyrus took home a Grammy that night for her break-up hit Flowers - a fitting echo, perhaps, of the "revenge" spirit that ran through so much of Mackie's most famous work. Born Robert Gordon Mackie in Monterey Park, California, in 1939, he broke into the industry as a sketch artist working under the French-American costume designer Jean Louis. From those beginnings he built a career that carried his sequins and showmanship across film, television and the concert stage for more than half a century. His designs dressed some of the most recognizable figures in entertainment, from Marilyn Monroe to today's pop stars, cementing a style that fused old-Hollywood glamour with unapologetic spectacle.

UK petrol averages 169.68p and diesel 191.68p a litre as Middle East conflict lifts oil above $100 a barrel, the RAC says. The average price of petrol and diesel in the UK has climbed to its highest point since 2022, with renewed fighting in the Middle East squeezing household budgets, the RAC said. A litre of unleaded now costs 169.68p, while diesel has reached 191.68p, according to figures from the motoring body. Those levels return drivers to the costs they faced shortly after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than four years ago. The rise is being driven by the war between the United States, Israel and Iran, which has badly disrupted oil production and shipping across the region. Fuel costs eased in June, when Washington and Tehran signed a framework agreement aimed at halting the fighting. Prices have turned upward again as tensions return and wholesale oil trades back above $100 a barrel. "There's no end in sight to high pump prices," said Simon Williams, head of policy at the RAC. Crude oil forms the base of both petrol and diesel, so costlier wholesale supplies feed straight through to what motorists pay. Demand and the amount of available refining capacity also shape prices at the forecourt. Analysts estimate that each $10 (£7.44) added to the cost of a barrel translates into roughly 7p more per litre at the pump. A volatile barrel of Brent Brent crude, the international pricing benchmark, has swung sharply since the conflict began. Reports of escalation tend to push it higher, while signs of a settlement send it lower. The barrel price sat near $70 before hostilities started. It surged past $120 at the height of the fighting, then dropped back toward $70 in early July after the framework deal was reached. When the peace negotiations broke down, it rose above $100 again. A brief decline followed, but a fresh flare-up has lifted it back over the $100 mark. The turnaround at the pumps has been rapid. As recently as July, petrol averaged 150.59p a litre and diesel 164.52p. Both have since jumped. Diesel, at 191.68p, is now edging toward its all-time high of 199.05p, set in June 2022. Petrol at 169.68p still sits under its own record of 191.5p, reached during the summer of that year. Williams put the impact in everyday terms. Filling a 55-litre family car with unleaded, he said, now costs more than £93, while a diesel tank tops £105. Duty freeze and gouging claims Because moving oil around the world takes time, shifts in wholesale markets typically take about two weeks to reach forecourt price boards. Fuel retailers have rejected suggestions that they exploited the crisis to inflate margins. The markets regulator backed that up, saying it had "not seen evidence of retailers actively changing their pricing strategies to take advantage of the crisis." Drivers who want to shop around can use Fuel Finder, a government-backed tool that compares prices at filling stations nationwide. The cost of fuel has also shaped tax policy. In May, then Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced that a 5p rise in fuel duty scheduled for September would be pushed back to the end of December, citing the conflict. The RAC argues there is "a very strong case" for holding duty at its current level for the rest of this Parliament. For now, with crude above $100 and the situation in the Middle East unsettled, drivers face little immediate relief at the pumps. petrol prices, diesel prices, RAC fuel, oil price, Brent crude, fuel duty, pump prices UK, Iran conflict oil

Vivo's Y600i and Y600i AI Edition (model V2617A) cleared 3C certification on September 10 with 44W wired charging, while a separate V2620A shows 90W support. Vivo is lining up several new smartphones, with two Y-series models and a separate unidentified handset now appearing in China's certification records. The Vivo Y600i and Y600i AI Edition, which already featured in Google's supported device list, have surfaced in a fresh certification that spells out their charging support. The filing covers Vivo model V2617A, which cleared 3C certification in China with 44W wired charging. The listing marks it as a 5G smartphone and carries a certification date of September 10. That same V2617A model number was earlier tied to both the Y600i and the Y600i AI Edition on the Google Play Console Supported Devices list, where the two phones shared a device code - a sign they may run on much the same hardware. The AI Edition is expected to bring added AI-focused features, though what those will be remains unclear. Both phones are set to slot into the Y600 line alongside the Y600 Pro and Y600 Turbo, which reached China in April and May respectively. The Y600i is likely to follow the Vivo Y500i, released in China in January this year. That earlier model shipped with a 7,200mAh battery and the same 44W wired charging seen on the new certification. A separate model points to the X500 series A second Vivo phone, listed as V2620A, has also reportedly turned up on China's 3C database. It carries 5G connectivity and around 90W wired charging support. That figure has led to speculation the device belongs to the Vivo X500 series, given earlier reports of comparable charging on the Vivo X500 Pro Max. For now, the phone's commercial name and any link to the X500 range remain unconfirmed. Vivo has not announced launch dates for any of the handsets, and the certification listings stop short of revealing full specifications.

NHS cancer treatment within 62 days fell to 71.2% in England as experts warn government targets set for 2027 and 2029 are now impossible to hit. Alan, a 70-year-old lung cancer patient in England, was told he would have surgery within weeks after doctors found a nodule in June last year. He waited almost five months. By the time he reached the operating table, the disease had spread and the procedure had become far harder. Twice his scans were called off because the machines had failed, and for long stretches he heard nothing from the hospital about when the urgent operation would happen. "I was so frustrated and angry and couldn't understand why they would leave me like that," Alan said. He is one of thousands of patients across England each month who begin treatment later than the health service's own deadline allows. Earlier this year the government's National Cancer Plan, published alongside NHS Planning Guidance, promised that by March 2027 four in five patients would start treatment within 62 days of an urgent referral from their GP. That figure was set to climb to 85% by March 2029. Since the pledge was made, the numbers have moved in the wrong direction. The latest NHS England data shows 71.2% of patients now begin treatment inside the 62-day window, down from 71.9%. Prof Pat Price, a senior UK clinical academic oncologist, said the deadlines "are now simply impossible to hit" following what she called a "complete loss of momentum". She blamed the decline on a "complete lack of a plan or accountability". The cancer plan committed to setting up a new independent cancer board, but the person who will lead it has still not been named. Ten trusts out of 120 meet the standard Figures released on Thursday, covering July, show that just 10 of England's 120 hospital trusts got 85% of patients into treatment within 62 days of a GP's urgent referral. Analysis by Radiotherapy UK, shared with the BBC, indicates that more than 2,800 additional patients would have to start treatment every month - an increase of almost 15% on current volumes - for the March 2027 goal to be reached. That gap is expected to widen as referrals climb across nearly every type of cancer. In total, roughly 54,000 more patients will need to begin treatment inside the 62-day limit before 2029 for the government to meet its ambition. The delays carry a measurable cost. On average, a patient's chance of survival drops by about 10% for every month that passes before treatment begins. Price warned that thousands of people "are going to die unnecessarily, just because the government can't get their act together to treat people on time". For Alan, the wait changed the shape of his illness. By the time he was operated on, the cancer had reached his lymph nodes and, according to his lung specialist, the nodule had grown at an alarming rate. He has since been told the disease has cleared and is now awaiting his one-year review. The surgery, however, has left him with lasting pain. "I used to play golf and get out and about. Now I can't do any of the things I love," he said. Salisbury focuses on the basics One trust making headway on its backlog is Salisbury, though it is still short of the targets. Staff there say there is no single solution. Instead they describe a steady effort to get the fundamentals right: making sure patients know about and attend their appointments, keeping IT systems running, hiring the right people, filling surgical lists and adding capacity where they can. Much of the gain that patients can see has come in skin and prostate cancer, two of the most common forms of the disease in the country. Diane had a cancerous lump taken from her face at Salisbury District Hospital a few weeks ago, treated with a newer surgical approach. The worsening figures leave the government's headline commitments under strain barely months after they were announced. With referrals rising, the volume of patients waiting beyond the deadline continues to build, and the body meant to drive improvement still lacks a leader.

JSW Motors is expected to name its first India SUV the JSW Combat, based on the Chery Jetour T2, with a plug-in hybrid powertrain and a Diwali launch. JSW Motors is expected to call its first SUV for India the JSW Combat, a plug-in hybrid model based on the Chery Jetour T2. The vehicle is set to launch around Diwali, marking the debut of an independent automotive brand from the JSW Group built in partnership with China's Chery Automobile. The name surfaced after JSW Motors trademarked several options that leaked from an IP directory. The full list included JSW Combat, JSW Urbanique, JSW Dominor, JSW Adventura, JSW Eleve, JSW Sereno and JSW Cadet. Recent reports point to Combat as the finalised choice for the maiden SUV. The move is part of a wider push by the JSW Group into cars. The company is already present in the Indian market through JSW MG Motor India, and it has signed an MoU with Skoda Auto for a joint venture on an electric platform. The Chery-linked brand is the group's separate, standalone venture. Based on the Chery Jetour T2 The Combat is expected to be based on the Chery Jetour T2, an SUV known for its boxy, upright design. The Jetour T2 measures 4,785 mm in length, 2,006 mm in width and 1,870 mm in height, with a 2,800 mm wheelbase. Those dimensions give it a large footprint and heavy road presence. For India, JSW Motors is expected to bring the plug-in hybrid version of the Jetour T2. The system is called "i-DM," which is distinct from BYD's "DM-i" hybrid technology. BYD's DM-i setup is also arriving in India, in the Sealion 6 PHEV. Globally, the T2's plug-in hybrid combines an 18.4 kWh battery pack with a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine. Two electric motors are part of the setup, and the peak total system output is rated at 360 bhp and 610 Nm. Power is sent through a 3-speed hybrid gearbox. JSW could offer both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive layouts, or restrict the Indian version to front-wheel drive. Pricing and rivals JSW Motors is expected to price the Combat aggressively to establish itself in a crowded segment. Reports suggest a range between Rs 30 lakh and Rs 50 lakh (ex-showroom). At that level, the SUV would line up against the Toyota Fortuner and the MG Majestor, neither of which is offered as a plug-in hybrid. The feature list is expected to be extensive. Reported equipment includes 20-inch alloy wheels, squarish headlights and prominent JSW branding, alongside a 15.6-inch infotainment screen and a 10.6-inch instrument cluster. A panoramic sunroof, a premium audio system, a 540-degree camera with an underbody view, and electrically operated and ventilated front seats are also on the cards. Driver-assistance technology is part of the package too. The Combat is likely to offer ADAS with adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking. Combined with its rugged, upright styling, the SUV is positioned as an imposing, well-equipped entry for the brand's first India product. With the launch timed around Diwali, JSW Motors is preparing to take its Chery-based SUV into one of India's most competitive vehicle segments, backed by a plug-in hybrid powertrain that its established rivals do not currently offer.

South Africa's president pledges action after seven women's bodies are found near Kempton Park. Police probe whether a group is behind the killings. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has promised that "no stone will be left unturned" in the hunt for whoever is responsible for the deaths of several women found in and around Kempton Park, a town north-east of Johannesburg. The killings have occurred over roughly the past two months, and a fresh discovery on Tuesday morning has widened the scope of the case. Police now say their investigation covers the deaths of seven women, most of whom were found either partly or completely unclothed. "These incidents are causing fear and uncertainty in our communities, and especially among women," Ramaphosa said. He added that he had ordered the cases to be treated as a priority, saying law enforcement was "working urgently to establish the facts, keep communities safe and bring the perpetrator or perpetrators to justice." Investigators have stopped short of describing the crimes as the work of a single serial killer. Instead, they are weighing the possibility that a group of people may be responsible. "[It] could be that it's a copycat crime that is happening right here but so far, no linkages as yet," police spokesperson Brig Athlenda Mathe said. One person has been arrested over the discovery of the first body and remains in custody. Only two of the seven victims have been named so far. On Monday, police confirmed that one of them was Elizabeth Moselakgomo, a 38-year-old whose disappearance last week set off an anxious and highly public search. Her young daughter first alerted others after Moselakgomo did not come home from her regular run last Wednesday. Her body was recovered on Saturday, and relatives identified her two days later. A timeline stretching back to July The earliest of the bodies now under investigation was found in mid-July, followed by a second in late August. The remaining discoveries came this month, including two within the past two days. On Tuesday, officers said the body of a woman recovered on 7 September in a town near Kempton Park had also been folded into the inquiry, raising the count to seven. Acting Gauteng police chief Maj-Gen Fred Kekana said the wider pattern only became clear once officers began reviewing earlier reports. "After noticing that there are bodies being picked up, we went back to our police stations... and unfortunately it came to light that a body of a female in her late 20s was observed in a river next to a mall," he told a briefing. Kempton Park sits beside South Africa's busiest international airport, and police have appealed to women in the area to steer clear of walking or running by themselves, "particularly in isolated areas." The warning followed a series of finds that have unsettled residents and drawn sustained criticism of the authorities. Anger over protection of women The deaths have triggered public outrage, with many accusing officials of failing to keep women safe. South Africa records some of the highest rates of gender-based violence anywhere in the world. According to UN Women, women there are killed at a rate five times the global average. The country's Commission for Gender Equality called on people living in Kempton Park to cooperate with investigators in tracking down those responsible. "These deaths are indicative that women in South Africa continue to face environments in which their ordinary freedom of movement can become a matter of life and death," the commission said. For now, key questions remain open. Police have not established a firm link between the seven cases, five of the victims are still unidentified, and it is not yet clear whether a single suspect, a group, or separate offenders imitating one another are behind the deaths. The single arrest so far relates only to the first body found in July, leaving the more recent killings without a named suspect. Ramaphosa framed the response as a test of the state's ability to protect its citizens, tying the Kempton Park cases to a broader crisis. His pledge that authorities would leave nothing unexamined now rests on an investigation that has expanded almost daily, with each new discovery adding pressure on police to explain how so many women came to be found dead in the same corner of Gauteng within weeks of one another.

Gisele Bündchen has purchased a 7.5-acre estate in Southwest Ranches, Florida, for $9.1 million, adding horse stalls, a soccer field and more. Gisele Bündchen has bought a 7.5-acre equestrian estate in South Florida for $9.1 million, adding a private rural property to her holdings in the region. The estate sits in Southwest Ranches, roughly 30 miles northwest of Miami, and comes with 10 horse stalls, a full-sized soccer field and a modern riding arena. The Brazilian model and author made the purchase through Flamboyant Tree LLC, a company linked to her. Property and listing records show the estate first went on the market for $10.5 million. The final sale price of $9.1 million left Bündchen paying about $1.4 million less than the original asking figure. The nine-bedroom home is set well back from the coast, giving her a secluded base that matches her documented interest in the outdoors, sport and animals. The centerpiece of the grounds is a main house measuring 5,183 square feet. First constructed in 1976, the residence has been heavily reworked since, according to the listing. Inside, the updated layout features open living areas, a floating glass staircase and a gas fireplace built as a focal point. The kitchen pairs everyday function with entertaining space, fitted with custom wood cabinetry, quartz surfaces and a wide breakfast island. Concealed appliances, built-in ovens and a standalone bar round out the space designed for hosting. On the main floor, the primary suite includes its own sitting room and a spacious walk-in closet. Further bedrooms in the house, together with separate guest quarters, leave room for visiting relatives and staff. Riding ring, tennis court and infinity pool The outdoor sections of the property are built around both athletics and horse care. Alongside the 10 fully equipped stalls, the grounds hold a private riding ring for equestrian training. Sports facilities include the regulation-size soccer field and a full tennis court laid out to standard dimensions. For leisure, the estate has an infinity-edge swimming pool with a connected hot tub. An outdoor kitchen adds a hibachi grill, a pizza oven, a barbecue station and a built-in wine cooler for open-air meals. Rows of trees and lit walkways run across the site, screening it for private recreation and gatherings. A rural base after the Brady divorce The deal enlarges Bündchen's Florida real estate list, which has grown since she and retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady divorced. The Southwest Ranches estate gives her a more secluded, countryside setting to sit alongside her waterfront homes elsewhere in the area. Several South Florida agents worked on the transaction. Chad Bishop and Saddy Abaunza Delgado of ONE Sotheby's International Realty acted for the seller. Laura Valente of Global Luxury Realty LLC represented the buying entity tied to Bündchen. With living quarters, stables and its own sports amenities on one plot, the property adds a distinct property to her expanding footprint in the region.
