Emily O’Hara Ratajkowski (born on June 7, 1991) is much more than a pretty face across both fashion and film. She’s an American model, actress, and activist. While raised in sunny Encinitas, California, her modeling career started rather early when she signed with Ford Models as a young teen.
Most people first heard of her in 2013 when she appeared in the music video for Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines, which, as is typical with Miley, started thousands of conversations — not about controversy but because it immediately entrenched the image in popular imagination as a modern sex symbol. That moment rocketed her career, but she didn’t stop there.
In 2014, Emily took her talents all the way to Hollywood with her first film the thriller Gone Girl, during which she shared the screen with Ben Affleck. Following that, she starred in movies like Entourage and I Feel Pretty, and her stunning looks adorn the covers of just about every major fashion magazine.
But Emily is more than just a pretty face: She has been loudly and very vocal on matters about body image and sexual empowerment. She is using her powers to raise the voices of women for their rights. This year, 2021, she continued by publishing her essay collection, My Body. She gets into deep experiences about being a model and what it’s really like to be in the public eye. It’s raw and real, and it reflects upon herself as she travels through fame, beauty, and her sense of self-worth.
Emily is a proud feminist who supports causes like Planned Parenthood, and she never fails to bring up the topic of feminism in today’s world.
As of May 2025, Emily Ratajkowski is 33 years and 11 months old, her estimated net worth is $10 million, and she stands at a height of 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm or 1.7 m) tall.

School / College / University
Emily Ratajkowski was a student at San Dieguito Academy in her hometown, which is a coastal town called Encinitas, California.
After finishing school, she decided to go back to the University of California, Los Angeles, in 2009 and study Fine Arts there. Like everyone else, she had to make some not-so-easy decisions too. So, Emily ended up deciding, after one year, to quit college to become a full-time model.
She said that finances did play a part in it, but more than that, she felt she really needed to take advantage of the modeling opportunities coming her way while they were still right in front of her before they slipped through her fingers.

Food Habits
Emily keeps her daily diet fairly balanced but indulges whenever she pleases. Here’s a peek into how she approaches the matter:
- Breakfast: She likes to begin the day with a very simple, yet pleasing combination: a cup of black coffee and a kouign-amann-a buttery pastry grabbed from a local café. She changes it up if she doesn’t want to do that-toast or granola served with yogurt on the side. It’s all quick yet yummy options for her to have at the start of the day.
- Lunch: Emily describes herself as a “carnivore,” meaning she likes to add meat into everything she eats. Lunches might consist of salads or sandwiches that combine proteins with a lot of greens. She’s eating balanced meals, which keeps her going till the end of her crazy weeks.
- Snacks: For snacks, she is all about keeping things fresh and light with juices. Emily is quite an enthusiast of veggie and fruit blends and usually orders turmeric and beet juices, very LA, isn’t it?
- Indulgences: She’s not going too wild, but she is definitely happy to treat herself to just a little bit. Whether it is a decadent cupcake or bringing in some of her favorite Thai takeout, there is really pleasure without worrying about it. Unwind really well at home and just indulge a bit.
- Hydration: Emily must drink water, and she consumes a lot of water. She also supports her body with healthy and fresh stuff through juices.
- Food approach: She keeps her food balanced- does not void the nutritional demand by the body but grants herself the indulgence treats.

Family
Emily was born in London, England, her parents are American: her mother, Kathleen Balgley, is a professor and a writer who has taught at UCLA; her father, John David Ratajkowski. Emily has one sibling, she is an only child. Her mother has written a book of essays that deal with her Jewish identity and is not afraid to express her feminist opinion.
Her father, John, is also an artist: in paintings and sculpture. His love for art has played a huge role in making her more interested in creative expression. He even received awards, one of which was won by the National Endowment for the Arts.
When she was five years old, she moved to California, where she spent her childhood in Encinitas. Her parents facilitated this artistic aspect in her and encouraged creativity. They even took her to nude beaches in Europe for unself-conscious exposure, which helped her feel comfortable about her body image. They did not allow her to watch television but to observe the art of creativity.
Emily married producer Sebastian Bear-McClard in 2018, and they had their first son named Sylvester Apollo Bear in 2021. However, the couple divorced last year. Despite experiencing all sorts of troubles in her childhood, Emily turned into a self-assured person and also a creative individual.

Sebastian Bear-McClard (2018–2022)
Emily and Sebastian Bear-McClard’s relationship came as a surprise to many when it started. Apparently, the two have known each other for quite some time before taking it to romantic levels early this year 2018. Not long after that, they got hitched just a few weeks later on February 23, 2018. Low-key courthouse affair, their nuptials in New York City, while Emily totally broke the traditional wedding look wearing a chic mustard suit by Zara.
A very public romance and rushed wedding barely a year ago was nothing but a media show, but Emily seemed to be a bubbly girl who’d not usually shy from putting up sweet moments of her life on social media. Sebastian was a film producer known for his work behind the lens of many indie movies, including Uncut Gems. They appeared to have such a fun and carefree relationship that expressed a love for art and creativity.
In March 2021, the couple welcomed their first child, a boy named Sylvester Apollo Bear. Emily shared her journey through motherhood, with a lot of times infusing joy and love for her new role as a mom. But in a shocking turn of events after only four and a half years of marriage, the couple made their split announcement in September 2022.

Net worth 2025
$10 million
As of May 2025, it’s estimated that Emily Ratajkowski has a net worth of about $10 million. She is a model, actress, and also a multi-faceted businesswoman who made her money through various means. The following is a high-level breakdown of the sources of income and what she has earned in each category:
1. Modeling
Primarily known for appearing in the provocative “Blurred Lines” 2013 music video, Emily catapulted into her modeling career. She then turned heads and partnered with some of the world’s most luxurious high-end fashion brands and designers, modeling on cover shots for these three: Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and GQ. She also lent her face to ad campaigns for DKNY, Paco Rabanne among others, and Kérastase.
Supermodels can make as much as $10,000 to $20,000 per day from top campaigns. Emily is said to be making millions every year from just modeling. If she takes the level of exposure that she has, she would earn an easy million in one year from these campaigns at $1-3 million in one year.
2. Acting
In 2014, Emily’s acting career started with Gone Girl. She acted in further films including Entourage, We Are Your Friends, and I Feel Pretty. Though her acting career is not quite as busy as it was in modeling, still, they will still add much to her earnings.
Small-time supporting actors in Hollywood movies could be paid anywhere from $100,000 to $1 million according to the budget of a movie. Emily must be earning in the mid to high six-figure for this acting gig.
3. Book Sales
In 2021, Emily published a collection of essays, My Body. The book takes into consideration the complexities of being a model and celebrity in discussing the coverage of themes surrounding feminism, exploitation, and empowerment. For a book like this, My Body received heavy media attention; it is problematic to find precise sales figures, but it was certainly a commercial success.
Authors of such books will earn between $1 and $3 per unit sold. Considering the hype her book gained and its feminist nature, Emily would have earned between $500,000 to $1 million in net revenues from book sales and ancillary deals.
4. Inamorata (Swimwear & Fashion Line)
Emily had already launched her own swimwear and fashion brand called Inamorata by 2017. The brand started with swimwear but has also transitioned over time into other fashion categories including bodywear and casual streetwear. The reason Inamorata may be successful is because of the large following on social media that Emily has and she sells directly to those fans.
The brand is probably generating money in the multi-millions already. Given that she is working actively on the brand, she probably takes home a high percentage of the profits. A pretty reasonable estimate would be that she could be earning anything between $1 to $2 million per year from this business.
5. Social media & Endorsements
Emily has over 30 million followers on Instagram. Like any celebrity with such a humongous number of followers, she benefits from her influence by collaborating with brands for paid placements, sponsorships, or advertising. Sponsored content with brands such as Versace and Kérastase, along with super-luxurious brand names contributes to Emily’s earning significantly.
Being that Emily has so many followers on her account, she would earn any amount ranging from $50,000 to $250,000 per sponsored post due to brand and campaign. She is estimated to take home up to $2-5 million annually through social media endorsements and sponsored posts.
6. Public Appearances and Speaking Engagements
She is often in discussions more about the concerns of women’s rights and body image empowerment. Emily can be heard eloquently talking about things on various public forums, and is quite frequently invited to public speaking events, panels, and public appearances.
These celebrities can fetch between $10,000 and $100,000 per event. Not her primary source of income, it still adds up to a few hundred thousand dollars in the process.
7. Real Estate Investments
In addition, she has taken wise investments in real estate. Emily, along with her ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, purchased a home for $2 million in the hip Los Angeles neighborhood of Echo Park. It is uncertain if she and her partner remain together; however, investments such as that one can certainly pay off over time, especially within hot markets like Los Angeles.
Potential Value-Appreciation of Her Property: She might be able to reap more from selling her property, depending on the appreciation value it may gain.
8. Licensing and Partnership Deals
Emily entered into more licensing and partnerships outside modeling and acting. She has been partnered with various brands for sole-use fashion lines or capsule collection tenders where her name and picture are attached to the products of the brand.
This depends on the structure of these deals, and Emily could easily bring in hundreds of thousands to millions annually based on sales performance.
