In the early 2000s, as her modeling career was just beginning in sunny Florida, this alluring Austria native’s then boyfriend Lee Dahlberg recruited her to be a part of an emerging pop quintet called The Burgundians, financed by the trust of the world’s wealthiest animal, a German Shepherd named Gunther. Only instead of performing, the group would live together in Gunther’s Miami mansion and care for him, while being heavily surveilled and questioned about their sexual experiences. Michelle was one of the first to don The Burgundians’ signature skimpy bikinis and thanks to the new Netflix docu-series Gunther’s Millions, we get to revisit old pics of Michelle as one of five sun-tanned stunners draped around the ultra rich pup. It turned out to be formative time for Michelle as she now owns a dog boarding business, but her Burgundian days will have you stiff as a board!
