Model With $15M Legs Nearly Loses Limb To Shark While Filming Racy Clip

Marie Temara, a 6-foot-3 OnlyFans model known for her famously long legs (and the $10 million a year they earn her), had a terrifying brush with danger during a recent trip to the Bahamas that left her fans gasping.

The 28-year-old OnlyFans star was filming content for her 2.8 million followers when she dangled one leg over the side of a boat near Compass Cay, a hotspot known for its up-close-and-personal nurse shark encounters.

What started as a cheeky stunt for Marie Temara's OnlyFans turned serious when three sharks appeared in the crystal-clear water, swimming within inches of her money-making limbs.

"I almost lost a leg," Marie Temara captioned the now-viral footage, which shows her quickly yanking her leg out of the water and dancing nervously as the sharks circled the boat. While she played it cool for the camera, she later admitted, "Inside, I was screaming. Those sharks were literally inches from me."

Though the encounter ended without injury, Temara was keenly aware of the stakes, commenting on her own video, "That was a close call."

"My legs are so important to my career, and so it was lucky everything was okay," she said.

For the record, her legs are worth so much that she has even considered insuring them for their $10 million value, a policy for which she was quoted around $100,000 annually.

Marie Temara's towering frame, once the subject of childhood bullying, is now her most significant asset.

She's been taunted with nicknames like "Bigfoot" and "Jolly Green Giant," and faced harsh comments about her size-12 men's shoes. But the Florida native has since flipped the script, earning a fortune through content that celebrates her height and her statuesque legs.

Temara says she's made significant lifestyle changes to protect her legs, including quitting basketball and powerlifting.

"I used to play basketball as well, but I've recently stopped ever since starting social media because I don't want to hurt myself," she explained. "I consciously avoid activities that will put me in danger, all of the physical activities that I used to love."

The pressure to maintain perfect legs also stems from online scrutiny. To keep her limbs in peak condition, Marie Temara reportedly spends around $5,000 a month on leg care, a regimen that includes massages, laser hair removal, and even "leg facials."

"Sometimes I would miss a few days shaving because it took so long… but when people started leaving comments about my legs, I decided to step up my beauty routine," she shared. "I used to go through 10 razors a week, it took me an hour each time. Now I've switched to laser hair removal… It's expensive but saves me time."

"My job is on the line," the model explained. "People fantasize about my legs. I need to keep them clean and beautiful for as long as possible."

The shark scare hasn't slowed Marie Temara down, but it has certainly stirred conversation online.

Fans flooded the comments with concern and disbelief. "Too risky," one said. "You brave af, girl," added another, while a third summed it up, "My anxiety watching this."

"You're playing with fuego, baby!" someone else said.

With 2.6 million followers on Instagram, Marie Temara has fully embraced her larger-than-life persona.

In many of her viral videos, she playfully claims to stand seven feet tall, often with the help of towering 10-inch heels. Whether she's turning heads on the street, crushing watermelons between her thighs, or capturing the jaw-dropping reactions of strangers, her content leans into the fantasy her fans can't get enough of.

Love her or hate her, there's no denying that Marie Temara's legs are making waves, both online and in shark-infested waters.
