Here's How Much Raven-Symone Is Really Worth
Actress and singer Raven-Symone has been a small-screen fixture since she was barely out of diapers, parlaying her first major role on The Cosby Show into a career that's lasted three decades and shows no signs of stopping. Aside from her celebrated work in the entertainment industry, Raven-Symone has also earned big bucks through a licensing deal with one of the biggest companies in the world that's rumored to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
From her early life in Atlanta, Georgia, to working with Ford Models and appearing in commercials for the likes of Ritz Crackers and Cool Whip, to attending the Park School in upstate New York and landing a life-changing role after catching producers' eyes thanks to an unsuccessful audition for the Bill Cosby-starring family comedy Ghost Dad, Raven-Symone has barely stopped working. Thankfully, all those years of hard graft have earned her a more than sizable fortune.
Raven Symone is a smallscreen stalwart
Raven-Symone appeared as Olivia on The Cosby Show's final three seasons, which made her a household name, leading to numerous roles including her voice work for Disney's Kim Possible, and even headlining her own hugely popular show, That's So Raven, also for Disney. More recently, she appeared on addictive reality competition show The Masked Singer, and had a starring role on Black-ish, as well as spin-off Raven's Home, which essentially picked up from where That's So Raven left off (she also serves as executive producer on the show).
Raven-Symone is an accomplished singer, too, having kicked off her second career when she was just 7 years old. Raven-Symone initially trained with none other than Missy Elliott, releasing her debut album, Here's to New Dreams in 1993. She's got four studio albums total, along with appearing on various compilations and soundtracks. In 2018, Raven-Symone completed her degree at the Academy of Art University, having studied simultaneously with hosting duties on talk show The View from 2015-2016.
Raven Symone is smart about her huge fortune
The actress and singer is incredibly smart with her fortune, revealing during a recent Instagram Live interview, "I haven't touched my Cosby money," (via Us Weekly). She still gets residuals from the hit show, too. There's some confusion over her net worth, however, as noted by Celebrity Net Worth, because of a figure floating around of $400 million. This originated from an unsubstantiated report in relation to revenue earned from Raven-Symone's long-running partnership with Disney but, even if she did stand to pocket a sizeable chunk of profits, she would still only get, say, 10% which wouldn't mean a personal net worth of $400 million.
However, she is worth a decent chunk of change at $55 million to date, much of which surely came from her many Disney projects. As Raven-Symone told The Los Angeles Times of her decision to partner up with them again, "Disney understood me. ...I love them forever for embracing me."
