Selling Sunset star Emma Hernan is a successful entrepreneur, real estate agent, and model with a six-figure fortune. But the blond beauty had a very humble beginning, aided by her parents’ support.
It was a family holiday to Los Angeles that inspired the Boston native to move there one day.
Highlights
- Emma Hernan was born in Boston, Massachusetts, to her parents, Thomas G Hernan and Stephanie Hernan.
- While her father used to be a firefighter, her mother was a housewife.
- She loves spending her hard-earned money on her family and friends.
Eventually, she moved to LA to pursue her modeling career. Apart from modeling, Hernan was also babysitting and doing various other jobs to save every single penny.
Also, she began investing in the stock market as a teenager. Her investment grew so much that the entrepreneur was able to help cover staffing costs at her parent’s seafood business by the age of 15.
Hernan established Emma Leigh and Co. during the pandemic. Her company is famous for its vegan empanadas. “I own 100 percent of my company,” Emma told Forbes.
This self-made millionaire spends her hard-earned money on her glamorous fashion, her family, and friends.
Emma Hernan Hails From Boston, Massachusetts

Her parents, Thomas and Stephanie Hernan, also lived in the city before moving to California.
Thomas G. Hernan formerly worked as a firefighter in Scituate. On the other hand, Stephanie Hernan used to be a stay-at-home mom.
Emma’s interest in business started at a young age because her maternal grandfather, Gerry McAdams, ran the Pembroke-based Yankee Trader Seafood.
Hernan’s mother currently serves as the CEO of the company and other family members are also said to work for the Yankee Trader Seafood.
Moreover, Hernan’s paternal grandfather, Thomas W. Hernan, worked in the Cohasset Fire Department.

“I came from very humbling beginnings. My mom and dad were hard workers. I just had this passion to be extremely successful because my parents were the world’s best parents.”

“I babysat and worked in an ice cream shop. By the time I was a teenager, I was working as a model and investing in the stock market,” said Emma.
Even though she was young back then, Emma always divided her earnings into three parts: one for herself, one for her parents, and the smallest part for her brother.
