Maya’s parents met in 2006 at a big party in the Israeli desert, the main theme of the party was yoga, healthy eating and chakras.
They instantly felt an interest for each other and started dating. They married on 28 September 2008, not being confused about their age gap of 10 years between them (Yaron was 31, and Gal was only 21). Gal was five months pregnant with Maya during filming the “Wonder Woman” movie, though she later admitted she didn’t do any harm either to her baby or to herself, as she was carefully watched by all needed specialists.
Mother, Gal Gadot
Maya Varsano’s mother, Gal Gadot was born 30 April 1985, in Petah Tikva, Israel; she is now a famous Hollywood actress who gained worldwide prominence with her roles in the “Fast & Furious” movies series and “Wonder Woman” title role.
Gal is a former model – she won the title of Miss Israel 2004. As all girls in Israel, she served in the Israel Defense Forces for two years in the position of a combat instructor. Later she studied in The Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya, and graduated from it with a BA in law and international relations; at the same time, she worked hard to pursue her modelling and acting career, as she always wanted to become an actress.
Career
In 2009 she got the role of Gisele Yashar in the fourth movie of the series “Fast & Furious”. Since the movie was quite successful and earned more than $360 million at the box office, Gal soon had more roles in various TV projects, such as “The Beautiful Life: TBL” (2009 – present), “Entourage” (2004-2011) and “Asfur” (2010 – present).
Then she continued starring in further “Fast & Furious” sequels until 2016, when she first got the role of Wonder Woman. She appeared in DC comics movies “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” (2016), getting $300,000 for her participation, “Wonder Woman” (2017) for another $300,000, and “Justice League” (2017) for the same amount of money. She is already signed for future DC comics movies, including “Wonder Woman 1984” (2020) and “Justice League Part Two”.
Father, Yaron Varsano
Maya’s father, Yaron Varsano, was born on 28 June 1975, in Amsterdam, Netherlands, but he also holds Israeli nationality.
Yaron graduated with a BA in finance and banking from the New York Institute of Technology located Old Westbury, New York. As of 2019, he is an experienced real-estate businessman, who owns luxuries hotels around the world. His famous deal of selling The Varsano Hotel to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, attracted massive attention from the press, as the sum of the deal was around $28 million. It is worth saying that Yaron owned this hotel along with his brother, Guy Varsano.
Charity
Maya is growing-up in a family who pay much attention to giving to people in need. Maya’s mother, Gal Gadot, supports “the Light of Hope” organization, appearing at its events in her image of Wonder Woman.
“The Light of Hope” has been working for more than 18 years, assisting, accompanying and supporting children with cancer, giving their families everything they may need on their tough journey. The organization is operated by almost a thousand volunteers, and provides a large range of various services for children and their families, such as family or group vacation days, fulfillment of wishes, professional workshops for hospitalized children, dream birthdays in hospitals, assisting with getting the proper medicine, and financial support. Maya often accompanies her mother on events of this organization, meeting and making new friends with the kids.
Hobbies and interesting facts
Maya’s family is also sporty and active. Her parents often go skiing on various European resorts, and always take their daughters with them, instilling love for sports from their early childhood. Both Gal and Yaron share pictures from such family vacations on their social media profiles.
Social media presence
Maya is for sure too young to have her own personal social media profiles, though some parents create such accounts for their babies and manage them themselves. However, Maya is far from social media at the moment. Though her parents often post her and her sister Alma’s photos on their Instagram and Twitter accounts, they always hide their children’s faces with emojis.
According to their religion, they can’t post the photos of their kids, as evil eyes may do a lot of harm to their daughters’ souls if they see their faces. Gal even believes people can curse her kids using their photos, so she often becomes annoyed when paparazzi catch her walking with her kids and take pictures of them, posting them online. Nevertheless, Gal Gadot is super popular on Instagram, as her account is followed by over 30.5 million subscribers; her Twitter is read by over 2.2 million people. Yaron Varsano, Maya’s father, has over 123,000 subscribers on his Instagram account.
Appearance, clothing style
Maya has short curly brown hair and dark brown eyes – of course she is too young to be measured as she grows every day. Her parents don’t spare money to buy her designers’ clothes, so she always wears luxurious dresses and rompers.
Net worth and salary
Maya is perhaps lucky to be born to such wealthy parents: authoritative sources estimate their joint wealth to be over $30 million – Gal Gadot’s net worth is estimated to be around $10 million, while Yaron Varsano’s is estimated at over $20 million. Maya and her sister Alma are going to inherit an impressive sum of money from their parents, as their careers are at their peak, and the net worth of the Varsanos is still growing.
