Marie Temara (who has the Instagram handle marietemara) is making her mark on the internet. Born in November 1994 in Camillus, New York, she hails from a notably tall family. Her brothers stand at 6 feet 9 inches and 6 feet 10 inches tall. Additionally, her mother is reportedly 6 feet 5 inches tall, and her father is around 6 feet 3 inches tall.

The model’s unique perspective and engaging content led her to launch an OnlyFans account. She now earns approximately $10 million annually. Based in Florida, she uses her platform to promote body positivity and self-confidence, inspiring others to embrace their unique qualities.

Temara’s height has gained her attention from notable stars. She says Shaquille O’Neal, who famously stands at 7-feet-1-inch tall, DM’d her. She also said Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant asked her about her height.

“Kevin Durant asked me how tall I was,” Temara said.

“Shaquille O’Neal has DM’d me multiple times,” she added.

“I was flattered by them approaching me and thought it was kind of cool, because these are the NBA players that I idolized growing up.”

Shaq and Durant aside, Temara said Lil Jon also made a comment.

“Lil Jon once complimented a video he thought was me dunking — but it was actually my brother,” she laughed. “I was just excited he’d even seen my videos and found them funny.”

Temara said her brothers were “jumping for joy” when they heard that celebrities admired her height. “I think my brothers thought it was cooler than I did,” she continued.
