How Emily Ratajkowski’s semi-nude selfies are making her money

Emily Ratajkowski is cashing in on those scantily-clad selfies.

The model, 27, regularly posts semi-nude shots to her Instagram account, often as a means of promoting her own swimwear and clothing line, Inamorata.

So when people call her “stupid” because of the shots, she just laughs all the way to the bank.

In a new video with Kourtney Kardashian for the star’s lifestyle website Poosh, the “Blurred Lines” star explained that, “The initial reaction you get when you post a sexy photo is, ‘Oh my god, naked again, you’re so stupid, you have nothing else to offer!’ And I’m like actually I’m running a business off of this.”

“It’s a part of branding and it’s funny because you think of the idea of those white men, older men in suits being like, ‘Oh no we don’t take her seriously,’ and we’re making more money than them. I love that,” she continued. “It’s crazy that in 2019 there’s still that stigma.”
