She ranked ninety-nine in the 2005 and 2006 Forbes' edition of The Celebrity 100 lists.
This is inaccurate because Forbes ranked Adriana Lima No. 97 in 2005 and No. 99 in 2006, not No. 99 in both years.
Full reasoning
The sentence says Adriana Lima ranked 99th in both 2005 and 2006 on Forbes' Celebrity 100 list. Forbes' own archived lists show otherwise:
- On the 2005 Celebrity 100 list, Forbes lists "97 Adriana Lima".
- On the 2006 Celebrity 100 list, Forbes lists "99. Adriana Lima".
So the 2006 ranking is correct, but the 2005 ranking is not. The statement should not say she was ninety-nine in both years.

In February 2012, Lima became the only celebrity to ever star in two Super Bowl commercials in one game.
This is incorrect because celebrities had already appeared in two Super Bowl commercials in a single game before 2012. Eminem, for example, appeared in two different Super Bowl XLV ads in 2011.
Full reasoning
The article says Adriana Lima was the only celebrity ever to appear in two Super Bowl commercials in one game in 2012. That is contradicted by coverage of Super Bowl XLV in 2011, where multiple outlets reported that Eminem appeared in two different commercials during that game:
- CBS News wrote on February 7, 2011 that "Eminem ... appeared in two commercials that aired during Super Bowl XLV" and that he "starred in not one, but two, of the commercials shown during Super Bowl XLV."
- TV Guide likewise reported after Super Bowl XLV that "Eminem appeared in two very different Super Bowl commercials" — one for Lipton Brisk Iced Tea and one for Chrysler.
Because a celebrity had already done this in 2011, the claim that Lima became the only celebrity to ever do so in 2012 is factually wrong.

In 2011, Lima signed a deal as a spokeswoman for Megacity by Votsu, a Brazilian social gaming company, to appear in their commercials.
The company name is wrong. MegaCity was created by Vostu, not “Votsu.”
Full reasoning
This sentence misidentifies the company behind MegaCity. Contemporary coverage of the 2011 campaign names the company as Vostu.
- Exame's report on the campaign is titled "Comercial de novo jogo social da Vostu é estrelado por Adriana Lima" and states that MegaCity was "Criado pela Vostu".
- UOL likewise described MegaCity as a game launched by Vostu and noted that Adriana Lima starred in the game's commercial.
So the article's use of "Votsu" is a factual error in the company name.
