This former Kambala girl and daughter of a prominent Bondi Junction based orthopaedic surgeon is the richest and most down to earth Sydney WAG you’ve never heard of.
Sarah Kohan, 26, who grew up in Vaucluse, is the wife of Mexican footballer Javier “Chicharito” Hernández who this year signed with LA Galaxy where he makes a cool $US6 million a season.
But that salary pales into insignificance to amounts he has been paid earlier in his career.
He has previously played for footballing giants Manchester United, Real Madrid and West Ham United among others.
But Kohan isn’t your regular WAG. The star student studied law at The University of Notre Dame and has now established herself as a leading travel blogger.
She, like many others, has also harnessed the power of Instagram where she operates as an “influencer” under the name @moonstrucktraveller.
Her childhood was spent in the eastern suburbs and she studied at the prestigious Kambala School in Rose Bay.
Former classmates of Kohan told the Wentworth Courier she has always been a “lovely” person who prided herself on her academic achievements at school.
She graduated in 2011 and initially began working towards a medical degree, following in the footsteps of her father Professor Lawrence Kohan.
However, she then switched to law and enrolled at The University of Notre Dame. She also completed exchange courses at prestigious Harvard and Columbia universities.
Kohan helped pay her way through law school by nannying for an eastern suburbs family for five years.
She also used her wages to start her globetrotting experiences.
As an experienced free diver, she soon became as well known on Instagram for her encounters with wildlife as her cheeky snaps.
She has previously revealed while she initially funded all her own travel to locations such as The Bahamas, Fiji, Japan and Africa, soon companies were clamouring to collaborate with her.
She has established herself as a sought after model and has appeared in Vogue Mexico and works with brands including Fashion Nova and Frankies Bikinis.
She has been with Hernandez since 2018, although it is unclear how they first met.
But the relationship developed quickly with the couple welcoming their first child Noah last year.
Kohan is now just weeks away from giving birth to her second.
These days the heavily pregnant glamour mum is in lockdown in Los Angeles updating her 1.5 million fans online as she counts down the days to give birth.
“9 month belly!!! What do you think … boy or girl? I am so excited to find out!” she captioned a snap captured in her Calvin Klein underwear two weeks ago.
“Growing a life is the most beautifully artistic form of expression that comes from the female body.
“Our body was purposefully built for human fruit to grow. So even if no one tells you how beautiful you are I hope you feel it deep down to your soul,” she wrote on another post.
It is unclear what the future holds for Kohan.
But with a law degree in her back pocket not to mention designers clamouring for her to wear their clothes, the sky is the limit.
