Marie Temara has turned her towering 6ft 3in frame into a multi million pound empire, raking in $10 million a year and using her success to build a thriving real estate portfolio that now includes 16 homes, a luxury yacht, and a $2 million seaside property complete with a private gym.
While many influencers opt to splurge on designer gear and flashy cars, Marie has taken a more strategic route investing her earnings to secure not only her own future, but her family’s as well.
The model and content creator, who boasts 3 million Instagram followers, says it still feels surreal to live the life she’s created.
But behind the glamorous numbers is a story of financial discipline and close-knit family ties. Marie not only owns and lives in her own multimillion-dollar home but has also gifted her parents a $700,000 house right next door. Her other 14 properties are rented out, generating consistent income that adds to her already impressive wealth.
“Being able to retire my parents and set up a future nest egg for my kids feels amazing,” she said. “When I started out and wasn’t making much, I was living with them.
They’ve supported me from the beginning, so it means a lot to give back.” Her mother Christine, a retired 911 operator, and father Michael, a retired electrician, are also unusually tall both standing over 6ft 3in and have passed on not just their genes but their work ethic.
Living by the sea, Marie has also fulfilled a personal dream by purchasing a $1.2 million yacht, which she uses for boating, fishing, and weekend escapes.
The home comes equipped with two jet skis and a custom $100,000 gym and she’s not stopping there. Marie plans to knock down her current five bedroom house and rebuild a $5 million dream mansion on the same plot, complete with 25 foot ceilings and 12 foot doors to better suit her height. “I’m always bumping my head,” she admitted. “Growing up, we didn’t have the money to build homes suited to our size but now, I can do that.”
Her real estate investments aren’t her only indulgence. Marie also uses her wealth to spoil her family with extravagant travel, always flying first class to accommodate their long legs. Recent trips include a cruise to Alaska and a luxury getaway to New Zealand. “We travel a lot it’s one of the perks I really enjoy sharing with them,” she said.
Looking ahead, Marie says she’s far from done. Her goal is to continue growing her brand and assets for future generations. “I want to keep building an empire,” she said. “One that lasts for my kids, and their kids too.”
