AN ENTIRE family – ranging between 6ft 3in and 6ft 10 in height – have revealed how they are now making millions together as the 'tallest family' online.
Marie Temara is known for her impressive frame, which sees her pull in $10m (£7.4m) a year.

But the influencer is not the only one in her family capitalising on the unique trait – nor is she the tallest.
Marie's mum, 63-year-old Christine (6ft 5in), used to work as an emergency operator but now spends her days taking snaps of her UK men's size 13 trotters to sell online.
Meanwhile, basketball brothers Troy, 27, and Shane, 29 – who are the tallest at 6ft 10in and 6ft 9in – are in competition with each other to see who can bank the most bucks.
Right now, Troy is in the lead with $100,000 (£74k) annual earnings compared to Sean's $50,000 (£37k) a year.
Dad, and former electrician, Michael, 65 (6ft 3in), quit his job after making $50,000 (£37k) sharing behind-the-scenes content with his family
'It's been my dream to live and work with my family and see them every day – I love it,' said Marie, who has three million Instagram followers, @marietemara.
'There's a bit of rivalry between my brothers, but because I'm a woman, I'm expected to make the most money – since short kings love a tall girl.
'They're just grateful to benefit from their height in any way they can.
'We definitely didn't have that much money growing up.
'It was pretty hard, but my parents did a really good job of giving us everything that we needed.
I used to hate my height but now it's a niche that rakes me in £100k a year
'They just never had any money to buy anything for themselves and always put us first.
'That's why I love to see them doing so well now – and having so much fun with it!'
Although Marie's content is on the saucier side, she makes family-friendly videos with her parents and brothers.
The model was the inspiration for the family's success, having first signed up to OnlyFans four years ago after quitting her $100,000 a year accounting job.
Christine and Michael were both making $35,000 (£26k) a year in their respective 9-to-5 jobs when they signed up to the site.
She said: 'My parents both hated their jobs.
'They were overworked and underpaid.
'My mom was always stressed out with the long shift work hours, and my dad was sick of driving over two hours to work every day for minimum wage.

'I'm really lucky that they have all been supportive since day one.
'At first, it was just me filming by myself, but I was living at home and my parents were always around, so they would pop into the background or help me set up shots.
'Eventually, I started asking them to join in little skits, and they were such naturals; it just made sense to keep going.
'I thought they'd say no or be embarrassed, but honestly, they were all up for it straight away.
'My mum was excited, my dad thought it was hilarious, and my brothers saw it as a fun challenge.
'One of the first videos we did together was a height comparison where we all stood in a line, tallest to shortest – which is still pretty tall
'We also did a skit where we pretended to struggle to fit into regular-sized furniture, and people went crazy for it.
'That's when we realised, 'Okay, this could be something big'.
'We're now known as the tallest family online.'
Known as the 'tallest family online', Marie and the others usually make videos to show off their height – such as reaching for items, bumping their heads on door frames or trying to fit into tiny cars.
They also do other pranks, dances and skits about everyday struggles that tall people face.
Marie, from Florida, US, likes spending time with her parents so much that they've recently purchased two properties next door to each other.
The model's mansion set her back $2m (£1.5m), while the neighbouring house where Christine and Mike live cost $700,000 (£520k).
Marie added: 'Earning this much is something we never thought would happen.
'So we're very grateful and happy.
'It's all light-hearted and relatable, and our followers seem to love the family content too.
'Sometimes it doesn't feel real – but it's a great feeling to be able to provide for my family, retire them and financially set up my future for myself and generations to come.'
