Emily Rajatkowksi: With $6M in the bank and a thriving clothing line, this supermodel proves she's all business
Supermodel and actress Emily Ratajkowski knows how to dominate headlines even when she's cooped inside her house during the coronavirus pandemic. The model's too-hot-to-handle posts on her Instagram page have managed to continue garnering eyeballs. The model seems to be at ease with her sexuality, often posing topless in many of her photographs on her page. Her rocking bod along with her flawless skin and defined visage has gained her a lot of endorsements on social media, guaranteeing a steady cash inflow and her reported estimated net worth runs into millions, $6M to be precise.
Everyone started first noticing the supermodel after she appeared in Robin Thicke and Pharell Williams's music video for 'Blurred Lines'. Great offers for modeling, video shoots as well as movies came in in droves for Emily. Her career seemed to be blossoming as she was being recognized on the streets after just a couple of gigs, but she decided to wait it out for quite sometime after the release of the video.
She made her professional modeling runway debut with one of the most sought after and highly popular designers, Marc Jacobs at New York Fashion Week in the year 2015. She has since then made rare appearances on the runway for instance at the Paris Fashion Week runway for the brand Miu Miu in the year 2016 and at the Milan Fashion Week in 2019 where she walked for Bottega Veneta, Dolce and Gabbana and Versace. EmRata has also graced the covers of esteemed glossies like Sports Illustrated's 50th-anniversary swimsuit issue followed by covers of Cosmopolitan, FHM, GQ, Vogue and Harper. She was also named among the "20 hottest sex symbols" by Rolling Stone.
The model also got signed on for ad campaigns for DKNY, Kerastase and Paco Rabanne Parfum. She also appeared in a number of films and the most prominent roles remain from 'Gone Girl' as Ben Affleck's mistress and as Amy Schumer's friend in the Netflix film 'I Feel Pretty'.
She appeared in several commercials including Japan's multinational corporation Nikon and Carls Jr. fast food restaurant. She also flexed her athletic muscles in the Buick advertisement for Superbowl 50.
Apart from film and television appearances, paid partnerships on her Instagram account also draw in a lot of money for EmRata. She's one of today's biggest celebrities and among the most influential women on social media. With almost 26 million Instagram followers, the 28-year-old holds certain clout with her messages on body positive and feminism. Her brand of feminism basically leans towards having 'choice'. She is known for her skin-baring Instagram posts and she says that choosing to represent your body however you want is empowering. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, she is using her social media to interact with fans and needless to say, her pictures have a big role to play in her growing popularity. On April 19, she shared a simple topless photo, as she used her hands to cover up her chest and within hours it racked it up close to 840K likes on Instagram.
EmRata also launched her brand 'Inamorata Woman' in the year 2017 and true to her smoldering self, her brand houses sexy bikinis, blazers, earrings and bodysuits largely. She's uses her massive social media following to grow the brand, which does 96% of its business via Instagram. Typically she can post a new item and it will sell out in minutes. Emily founded the self-funded company in 2017 and teamed up with fashion industry veteran Kat Mendenhall. Her success in the business also earned her a place on the 2020 Forbes 30 Under 30 list for her influencer-entrepreneurship.
She got hitched to her longtime friend Sebastian Bear McClard in 2018, their total net worth is $18 million. The couple, however, is not free of controversies. In 2019 they were paid to leave their NYC loft after skipping out on paying their rent of over $160,000 over two years. The couple’s justification for not paying their rent was that they were “fighting the good fight against a real estate conglomerate” that after the acquisition of their building, 49 Bleecker, for $40 million, began rent gouging tenants. Interestingly, right after the rent fiasco, the couple snapped up a $2 million home in LA.
