Her stage name was selected by Dana Elaine while reading a book of Islamic names at the age of eight, and can be translated as “very kind” or “delicate”.

So just how rich is Queen Latifah, as of mid-2017? Authoritative sources have estimated that she has a net worth of over $70 million, accumulated through her several talents since appearing on stage in 1988. Notable and interesting assets include a $1.3 million home in Los Angeles, and a silver Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe car which was unveiled in 2007, the most expensive car in the Rolls-Royce line at that time with a price tag of $443,000.

Latifah was raised a Baptist but educated at a catholic school in Newark. She first appeared on stage in 1988 with other girls in a hip-hop band called “Ladies Fresh”. She was noticed by DJ King Gemini, who later recorded her first rap demo “Princess of the Posse”, found by producer Dante Ross who signed the young musician to the Tommy Boy Music label. Queen Latifah released her first song “Wrath of Madness”, and after that first small success, Latifah’s popularity started to rise, together with her net worth. To the present day, she has released seven studio albums, the last of which called “Persona” surprisingly has become almost as popular as her previous creations, so with reference to this information it can be said that Queen Latifah continues being as popular as she has always been. The last album didn’t have such a big influence on Queen Latifah’s net worth as did “Trav’lin Light” in 2007, but reached a higher position in the Top R&B and Hip-Hop albums charts.

Queen Latifah also is known for playing voice roles in such a popular movie as “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs”, and playing the main character Charlene Morton in the movie “Bringing Down the House”. To her notable appearances we can mention are Georgia Byrd in “Last Holiday”, Penny Escher in “Stranger than Fiction”, Isabelle ‘Belle’ Williams in “Taxi”, her character Motormouth Maybelle in the movie “Hairspray”, and Thelma in “The Bone Collector” in 1999.

Besides her career as an actress and musician, Queen Latifah is also a spokesperson for Curvation ladies underwear, Pizza Hut, Jenny Craig, and CoverGirl cosmetics, of which she is the owner together with the perfume line “Queen”.

In her personal life, Queen Latifah has never married, but is known to have been in relationships with Kendu Isaacs during the 1990s, Jeanette Jenkins from 2002 to 2011, and Ebony Nicholas from 2011. She currently lives in California.

Karyn’s next appearance on the TV screen was in 1988, when she played Lynette from “CBS Summer Playhouse” in the episode entitled “Roughhouse”, but her real big break was came in 1990, when the actress had the opportunity to play Will Smith‘s cousin “Hilary Banks” in the NBC sitcom called “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”. After this performance, Karyn Parsons had numerous roles in movies and TV shows. Many viewers also know Karyn Parsons as an actress from “Lush Life” – she not only appeared in it, but was also the co-producer, co-writer and co-creator of the show. However, in the show business industry Karyn has been working for a relatively short span of time, and maybe that is the reason her net worth isn’t rather higher.

She has starred in movies such as “Major Payne”, “Late Nights” and “The Ladies Man”, but her last notable appearance on screen was in 2002. Audiences saw Karyn as Lily in the comedy-drama film called “13 Moons” and since then the actress has appeared only a few times on TV.

In her personal life, Karyn Parson’s first husband was Randy Brooks, an American film and TV actor, most known for his role in the film called “Reservoir Dogs”, who is also well known in the soap opera community because of “The Young and the Restless”. But the couple divorced in 90’s. Karyn Parsons married again 10 years later, in 2003. Her second husband is Charles Alexandre Rockwell, an American film director, screenwriter and producer. Together couple have two children: their older daughter Lana was born in year 2003, and younger son Nico was born in year 2007.

Stacey Lauretta Dash was born on 20 January 1967, in The Bronx, New York City USA, of Barbadian, Mexican and Afro-American descent. Stacey Dash is an actress in movies and on TV, perhaps best known for her parts in the TV series “The Cosby Show“ in the 1980s, and more recently “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”.

So just how rich is Stacey Dash? Stacy is now relatively comfortable with an estimated worth of $10 million, which wealth she has earned by starring in numerous movies and TV shows during a career in the entertainment industry spanning more than 30 years.

Stacey Dash Net Worth $10 Million

Stacy Dash made her debut in 1982 when she appeared in “Farrell for the People” alongside Ed O‘Neill. Then followed such famous shows as “The Cosby Show“, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “TV 101“. Her movie career started with the Richard Pryor film “Moving” (1988). The 80‘s were actually a really successful period for the young actress, since her other two movies, “Mo’ Money” and “Renaissance Man”, were also big hits. Her real big break, however, was in 1995 when she appeared in Amy Heckerling’s “Clueless” as Dionne Marie Davenport. The comedy, which was based on Jane Austen‘s novel “Emma”, was very well received and grossed $55 million, thus increasing Dash’s net worth considerably. The film also made her and fellow actresses  Brittany Murphy and Alicia Silverstone true international stars, probably more so as it was soon made into TV series and Dash reprised her role as Dionne. The series ran from 1996 till 1999, and also featured actress and singer Cher. During that period, Stacy also appeared in films like the crime drama “Cold Around the Heart” (1997) and comedy “Personals” (1999). Naturally all of these appearances enhanced Stacy’s net worth.

Stacey Dash is also known for her appearances in music videos. In 2001 she was a part of the music video for the Carl Thomas song “Emotional”, and in 2004 she appeared alongside Kanye West in the music video for his single “All Falls Down.” At the same time Dash continued to have a successful film career with movies “American Primitive”, “I Could Never Be Your Woman”, “Nora’s Hair Salon II”, “Ghost Image” and “Fashion Victim”. She did not, however, forget television and appeared in the series “Single Ladies” in the role of Valerie Stokes but, unfortunately, she did not return for the second season. She was also a part of the reality TV show “Celebrity Circus”, in  which celebrities had to perform circus tricks. Dash was one of the finalists, finishing second after Antonio Sabato, Jr. In addition, she also had guest roles in “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “The Game”. All these roles in movies and TV shows helped to increase her overall net worth.

Besides her acting career, Stacey Dash also has her own lingerie line “Letters of Marque” and posed for Playboy in 2006.

In her personal life, Stacy Dash was first married to Brian Lovell(1999-2000), and then James Maby(2005-06). She married Emmanuel Xuereb in 2007, but divorced him in 2010 and asked for restraining order against him, claiming physical abuse. Stacy also has a son fathered by R&B singer Christopher Williams, and a daughter (born 2003). She is very open about her political views and often uses Twitter to criticise certain public figures. Interestingly, she supported Barack Obama in 2008, but in the presidential elections of 2012 she expressed her support for Republican candidate Mitt Romney.
