Inka Williams is a model from Bali, who started her professional career at the age of 15. Her family supported her all the way, and she’s achieved impressive results in her modelling career, working with such big names as Vogue, Elle and many others. Let’s find out more about her personal life, current relationship status, family, etc.
Early life, family
Inka Williams was born on 9 September 1999 in Melbourne, Australia, so under the sign of Virgo, and holding Australian nationality. She shared on her personal website she has been raised in Bali, Indonesia, where her parents lived for 19 years before her birth. However, before Inka was about to be born, her parents decided it would be better for her to appear in Melbourne, Australia, as it was her father’s hometown, and has better medical facilities. All went just fine, and a few weeks after Inka was born the family of three returned to their home in Bali. Her father’s name is Malcolm Williams, and her mother Edith Bournigaud Williams; they gave Inka lots of love and support and helped her to adapt to the cultural features of Bali society. Inka has a younger brother named Kaynan, who is a couple of years younger than her, and an elder brother whose name is unavailable.
Family business
Inka’s parents have their own house in Bali called “The Beach Woods”, and is available for booking. An escape from reality, the house is located on the lagoon in Nusa Ceningan, near Nusa Lembongan, and is 30 minutes by boat away from Bali, and can welcome up to 12 guests. It’s a family business for the Williams family, and Inka is going to inherit it as well as her two brothers.
Education
When a schoolgirl, Inka attended Canggu Community School in Bali, matriculating in 2017; however, there’s no information about her further education, if any.
Career
Inka shared on her personal website that she had her first photoshoot at the age of six months. There’s no information about whether that shoot was commercial or private, however, Inka was into modelling from her early age. As soon as she was old enough to sign commercial contracts, she became affiliated with IMG Models Worldwide, working with such big names as H&M, Ripcord, Swarovski and Red Earth, also with BeBe and Supre, and being featured in such legendary magazines as Vogue and Elle Magazine Australia.
Though most of her photo shoots were posh and glamorous, it didn’t save her from funny and awkward situations; she once shared she got stuck in the toilet for more than 45 minutes right before the shoot and no one realized she couldn’t just get out of there, thinking she was having problems with her stomach. Inka screamed and knocked on the door to attract the attention of the crew, but no one heard her until someone else needed to use the toilet and found her locked there. Inka says that if she wasn’t a model, she would have started her own label and become a fashion designer. She is really into everything related to fashion and wants to develop in this direction.
Own crochet swimwear label Akoia
Inka said in her interview with CityBeach in 2015 that she had her own crochet swimwear label, founded with her friends Reo and Franny and called Akoia when they were around 14 years old. It’s Reo’s mother who now watches the brand sales as she works in retail, however, Inka and her friends are very involved in everything related to the design process.
Personal life, current boyfriend Kayu Vianna
Inka started dating her now-ex-boyfriend Zak Henry in 2014. They enjoyed their time together posting tons of mutual photos on their Instagram profiles. There were rumors claiming that Justin Bieber sent a message to Inka inviting her to spend some time with him in Sydney as they were both there at the same time. Unfortunately for Justin, Inka was already heading to the airport and was about to leave Sydney so they didn’t manage to hang out together.
The rumors were a bit unpleasant for Inka’s current boyfriend Zak, though she hurried to calm down both him and the press saying: ‘I wouldn’t want to date someone famous. I’m good with Zak, he keeps me grounded’. However, Inka and Zak broke up in 2017 without announcing any reasons for it. In 2018 Inka started dating another Bali surfer, Kayu Vianna, a couple of years older than Inka. They post a lot of mutual pictures on their Instagram accounts, capturing them with words of love and gentleness.

Appearance
Inka has long straight brown hair and hazel eyes. Inka is 5ft 5ins (1.64m) tall, weighs around 103lbs (47kgs), and her vital statistics are 33-22-33 – one can see that she is very slim, as she works out a lot and sticks to a vegan diet not just because of her personal views, but because she finds it healthy. She used to have huge problems with acne on her face and had to find an experienced specialist to clean her up as not only did it look bad but also hurt a lot. So she found a cosmetologist from Australia, and learned that she was clogging-up her pores with the oils contained in the products she was using. So now she avoids all such products, also as the air in Bali is very dusty and make her skin suffer from acne. Her favorite clothing style is casual and beachy as she lives in Bali, but if she lived in Australia, she shared she would wear more classy things.
Net worth
As for July 2019, Inka’s net worth is estimated to be around $1.5 million, according to authoritative sources, accumulated from working as a model full-time since studying in high school. Inka is a very hard-working person and very serious about her future modelling career, so her net worth is only going to grow, as she has many world-famous companies reaching her daily to discuss new contracts. As for her Instagram account, Inka gets up to $4,400 per post there, so it not only helps to promote her portfolio, but is also another stable source of her income – she posts her photos and videos almost every day.
