Although born in the USA, Nigri moved with her mother to Christchurch, New Zealand before she moved back to Phoenix, Arizona. She holds dual citizenship of the US and New Zealand.
She launched her career in 2009, and in no time came to prominence by appearing as Sexy Pikachu at the San Diego Comic-Con International. From then on, Jessica looked to develop further her career, and in 2011 she was appointed as a promoter of Gears of War 3 for both Microsoft and GameStop, cosplaying a character from the game, Anya Stroud.
The following year, Jessica was elected to portray Juliet Starling for the video game “Lollipop Chainsaw”, after she won the IGN’s contest, and also served as a spokesmodel for Warner Bros. Games, which only increased her net worth. She cosplayed Juliet at the 2012 Penny Arcade Expo EAST, but she was asked to leave the convention after the officials received complaints about Nigri’s cosplay, stating it was too revealing. She tried to avoid being ejected by changing her costume, but to no avail.
Nevertheless, this didn’t negatively affect her at all, as she continued her career by going to Japan and promoting Lollipop Chainsaw at Akihabara. Furthermore, she secured deals with Kill3rCombo and Elsword, while also signed with Zenescope Entertainment and Crucidel Productions.
Gradually Nigri was receiving more work, which only increased her net worth; in 2013 she was Vivienne Squall from the Killer Is Dead video game, and also cosplayed Connor Kenway from Assassin’s Creed III, and had several other engagements throughout the year, further increasing her wealth by a large margin.
She is a part of the Less Than 3 gaming and cosplay team funded by Mad Catz, which has also contributed to her net worth.
Back in 2008, Jessica started her YouTube channel, but it didn’t come to attention until later in her career when she began uploading cosplay videos. She is also an avid gamer, and has uploaded videos of her playing such video games as League of Legends, Overwatch and other popular games, and has amassed a total following of well over a million subscribers, while her videos have been viewed more than 85 million times, increasing her wealth to a large degree.
Thanks to her success, Jessica has been able to launch an online poster store, NIGRI PLEASE!, on which she sells pictures of her numerous cosplaying characters, such as Harley Quinn from DC Comics, the Freddy Krueger character from the horror film franchise “A Nightmare on Elm Street”, and Charizard, a character from the Pokemon animated series, among others, the sales of which have added a significant amount to her net worth.
However, when asked about her future plans, Jessica said she is planning to retire from modeling and change focus to education, and later launch a career in the “behind the scenes” aspects of marketing and advertising.
When it comes to her personal life, although an internet sensation, details about her personal life remain unknown in the media, as she successfully hides all information that is not in regards to her professional career. However, according to some rumors, she dated a guy named Ryan Brandt, best known as fakenerdboy.
