Jej úspešná cesta za bohatstvom, uznaním a mocou sa však nezaobíde bez obetí. V osobnom živote nemá Emma spočiatku šťastie. Hoci ju muži zbožňujú, jej prvé dve manželstvá sa nevydaria a za muža, ktorý je zmyslom a naplnením jej života sa nikdy nevydá. V starobe sa sklame aj vo vlastných deťoch, ktoré ju chcú pripraviť o kontrolu nad rodinným majetkom. Eminou oporou sú však vnúčatá, v ktorých vidí pokračovateľov svojho celoživotného diela.
