Emma Hernan Was Highly Successful Even Before 'Selling Sunset'

Now that Season 4 of Selling Sunset has been added to Netflix, fans of the show are already excited about the already confirmed fifth season to come. And a huge factor that made Season 4 so interesting to watch is that two new agents were introduced to the rest of the women at The Oppenheim Group.

Beautiful peacemaker Vanessa Villela is one, and gorgeous firecracker Emma Hernan is the other.

The drama Emma had with Christine Quinn was a huge storyline throughout the fourth season, since they have a lot of prior history. Emma and Christine's feud will hopefully be further discussed in the fifth season of Selling Sunset. For now, here’s what you should know about Emma and her career — including her net worth.

During Season 4 of Selling Sunset, Emma boasted the fact that she owns a multimillion dollar company. It turns out, she wasn’t exaggerating at all. She’s gone down many different avenues seeking out a life of success from a modeling career, to entrepreneurship, to becoming an upscale real estate agent. According to The Cinemaholic, Emma is currently standing at around $3 million.

When she was only 12 years old, she began modeling after migrating from her hometown in Boston to the Los Angeles area. LA is known to be a hub for young people who want to make it in the industry whether they're pursuing acting, singing, modeling, or something completely different.

Becoming an entrepreneur came next for Emma, who launched her own frozen food business. Her company is called Emma-Leigh & Co. and it’s widely known for its delicious vegan empanadas.

These days, a lot of people recognize her from her time as a reality TV star on Selling Sunset.

Working at The Oppenheim Group, closing million-dollar deals on mansions, and staying afloat amidst the constant drama is something Emma was able to accomplish with ease throughout the fourth season of the show. She made such a positive impact on viewers, everyone’s keeping their fingers crossed that she’ll stay with the show long-term.

Working hard has always been something Emma strived for, even before reaching her current level of wealth. As a teenager, she earned extra cash babysitting and scooping ice cream at the local dessert shop in her area. One of her babysitting jobs ended up changing her life! She struck up some conversations with the father of one of the kids she was caring for and learned more about the stock market.

Emma revealed to Nylon that she invested her modeling money, babysitting money, and ice cream money into the stock market and healthcare. She started at the age of 14 or 15 and was impressively able to help finance her family’s business by the time she was 17. She wasn’t even a legal adult yet, but she was already making major waves for her loved ones. Taking charge of her financial life at such a young age proves just how inspirational Emma truly is.
