A model who rakes in cash from OnlyFans for being tall says her height is a double-edged sword – with her unable to wear jeans or sleep over at dates’ houses because their beds are too small.
Marie Temara pulls in an eye-watering $10m a year thanks to her impressive 6ft 3in stature and has 2.4 million followers on Instagram, @marietemara.
While her dominating height has made her famous and rich, it also means basic things like dating or getting dressed are far from simple.

The model is forced to custom-order designer clothing to the tune of thousands of dollars – and even double-stacks her California King XL bed to prevent her feet from hanging off the edge.
Sleepovers with dates are also a particular struggle – especially as she loves ‘short kings’.
“I love being tall but it comes with a lot of unique challenges that most people would never even think about,” said Marie.
“I have to get custom dresses and trousers made for me.
“Forget wearing jeans, my legs would leave regular sizes bursting at the seams, or heels.
“Dresses often turn into a mini skirt on me.
“But finding clothes is only one small part of my everyday battles.
“I think tall women are powerful and short kings agree, but having sleepovers at their house isn’t always easy.
“A lot of the time, my feet will hang over the edge.
“I usually invite them to my place instead though some of them might need a little boost to get onto my bed as I double-stack mattresses.”
Some of Marie’s favourite fashion splurges include a made-to-measure $5,000 leather coat from Italy and $3,000 thigh-high boots designed in Paris.
She also owns several evening gowns that were custom-created to give her the elegant, feminine look she has always dreamed of – but can never find in the shops.
Despite their hefty price tags, the custom clothes and furniture barely make a dent in her bank account.
Marie considers herself lucky in being able to afford clothes that fit her tall frame.
When she was a teenager, the situation was much worse.
The OnlyFans model, who was often bullied for her height, says being unable to dress like other girls affected her confidence.
She said: “Growing up, it was way worse because my options were extremely limited.
“My friends wore cute girly colours like pink but I was forced to walk around in boy’s sneakers that were always blue or green.
“That’s where my insecurity started.
“My feet were already so big – not being able to dress as I wanted just made things worse.”
With few options in stores, Marie often ended up wearing hand-me-downs from her older brothers – clothes that were far from fashionable or feminine.
Thankfully, this is no longer a problem for the model, who has not only embraced her height – but also, capitalised on it.
Marie said: “Although things were hard growing up, I’ve made a fortune from my height as an adult.
“It’s something I embrace and am proud of and I want others who are tall like me, or who have any kind of ‘difference’ to feel empowered and confident in who they are.”
Marie used to be an accountant before going viral on TikTok changed her life.
Viewers were obsessed with her height and many begged her to join OnlyFans so they could see more of her.
Within days of launching an account on the adult site, she’d made $100,000 – more than she earned in a year at her corporate job.
Marie added: “It’s really strange going from being this insecure girl who worried about being tall and now I am famous and rich for being a tall girl.”
