In 2022 it looked like the model’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (February 18) that DiDonato is the highest-paid model in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between January 2024 and January 2025, a nearly $20 million lead over her closest competition.

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.
The American model has an estimated net worth of $145 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat DiDonato Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “New York Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure WonderdiDonato - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Emily) and a fashion line called “Emily DiDonato Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Emily fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
