Early Life and Education: Growing Up in Florida

Rhea was born into an American family and was raised in her birthplace. There is not much information about her parents or early life, mostly because she’s a very private person. On numerous occasions, both fans and reporters have inquired about her personal life, but with a smile on her face, she’s refused to answer any and all questions not related to her career and accomplishments. ‘I have no need to share every single detail with the public’, she stated on the matter. ‘If you ask me, everyone needs at least a little privacy. It helps you stay balanced and focused.’ Durham grew up with a brother and a sister, both of whom are younger than her. As a child she played sports, and was interested in becoming a volleyball player.

Her height was perfect for playing multiple positions, but she never invested much effort into making a career in this sport. As for her education, she attended Lakeland Senior High School, from where she matriculated in 1996.

Career Beginnings: Being Discovered by Model Scout

When she was a child, Rhea never really paid much thought to modeling as a potential career. She did get compliments on her looks, but wasn’t all that fascinated with using her attractiveness to earn money. All of that changed during one seemingly average day, as she was walking around her local mall.

A man approached the then-15 year-old Durham, introducing himself as a talent agent for Model Scout, a renowned modeling agency, and asked if she would be interested in attending an audition. After consulting her parents she accepted the offer and, needless to say, “killed” the audition, and afterwards signed a contract with the agency. While she expected to work every now and then, several offers from New York and Paris blew her away. In a matter of hours, she packed her bags and relocated to the Big Apple, followed by a stint in Paris. ‘It was definitely hard to resist all the temptations involving big cities’, Rhea recalls. ‘Being a girl from the South, it was all new to me, but I stayed determined. I’m thankful I was wise enough at such a young age.’

Stardom: Victoria’s Secret, IMG Models, Gucci, Revlon (and Just About Any Famous Brand You Can Think of)

After working in New York and Paris, Rhea expanded her influence on to Milan and London as well. In addition to Model Scout, she was also represented by IMG Models, which according to some, is the biggest talent agency in the entire world. Rhea didn’t disappoint, as she made an appearance at the VH1 Fashion Awards. The next year, she signed a contract with famous make-up and beauty brand, Revlon. Several campaigns and commercials for Dior, Calvin Klein and GAP, amongst others, led her to being signed by Victoria’s Secret in 2000 – the company’s officials noticed her potential immediately, which resulted in her appearing on the catwalk multiple times in 2000 and 2001.

Due to other obligations, Rhea switched to catalogue campaigns since then, working with such as Chanel, Gucci, Versace and Valentino. In total, she’s collaborated with 30+ brands from 10+ countries, making her one of the brightest stars of the early 2000s modeling industry. Aside from official campaigns, Rhea was a constant feature on “Most Beautiful Women” and “Best Dressed” lists, ever since she first stepped onto the catwalk. Her legacy helped pave the way for the models we admire today.

Acting Career: Spin City and The Wahlburgers

Unbeknownst to most, Rhea is also an actress; as one of the world’s most popular models, she was offered a small role in the hit sitcom “Spin City”. Fans were delighted by the thought of seeing her act next to Michael J. Fox, however, they were even more surprised to find out she would play herself.

The episode “Wedding Scammers” aired in 2001 and is still considered to be amongst the show’s best episodes. In addition, she appeared in “The Wahlburgers”, a TV series made by Mark, which chronicles the true “rags to riches” story of how he and his brothers Donnie and Robert eventualy made a success of their lives. Now a superstar, Mark was a cocaine addict at the age of 13. Today, he has his own fast food restaurant “Wahlburger”, in Boston, Massachusetts. Rhea was instrumental in the founding of this venture, as she provided immense support to her beau.

Personal Life: Marriage to Mark Wahlberg

Before Mark, Rhea was rumored to be dating Ward Cottrell, the founder of Model Scout, which she vehemently denied. This sex scandal was investigated by the police, as Durham was accused of ‘landing modeling contracts in exchange for sexual favors’.

She and Mark Wahlberg bumped into each other at a press junket in New York in 2001, and started dating almost immediately. Reluctant to marry right away, the two enjoyed a wonderful relationship before ultimately tying the knot on 1 August 2009, at a lavish ceremony  at the Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Beverly Hills. Together, they have four children – First came Ella Rae (b. 2003), followed by her younger brothers Michael (b. 2006) and Brendan Joseph (b. 2008), and Grace Margaret in 2010. Before marrying Wahlberg, Rhea converted to Baptist Protestantism, despite being raised in a Roman Catholic Manner. Today, the two reside in Los Angeles and spend time with their children when they’re not working. ‘I love the traditions of family and home.’ stated Mrs Wahlberg on one occasion. ‘Babies, kids, holidays – that’s what I’m good at.’

Body Measurements: How Tall is Rhea Durham?

Rhea Durham is 5ft 9ins (175cm) tall, weighs approximately 130lbs (59kgs), and has an hourglass figure which is evident by her vital statistics of 34-24-36. She has dark blonde hair and green eyes.

Net Worth: How Rich is Rhea Durham?

Rhea Durham has a net worth of $20 million, as of August 2019. While this number is miniscule next to her husband’s net worth of $255 million, it’s still a significant accomplishment, and accumulated by working hard for over 20 years. She’s done numerous campaigns and catwalk appearances for basically every important fashion brand in the world. Given the fact that she’s still not retired and is an active investor, we could very likely see her net worth rise in the near future. A lot of her revenue also comes from Ella Grace, a brand she recently founded, selling handbags and other accessories for women.

Social Media Presence

Supermodels are especially dependent on such a way of promotion, mostly due to the visual nature of their profession. However, it doesn’t appear as though Rhea is at all preoccupied with maintaining her involvement in this trend, seeing as her presence on social networks is all but ubiquitous at the moment. This is most likely because she’s already an established star, and doesn’t need further promotion.
