Yara Shahidi's Stunning Net Worth Revealed
Yara Shahidi may be young, but she's been able to fit an awful lot in her career so far. Many might know her first and foremost as Zoey Johnson, the oldest daughter of the Johnson family in ABC sitcom "Black-ish" alongside Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson, and its spin-off "Grown-ish" – also starring singing duo ChloexHalle – but she's also had a starring role in teen movie "The Sun Is Also a Star" and lent her voice to animated shows "Trollhunters" and "3Below," playing the role of Darci Scott (via IMDb).
To double down on her awesomeness, in 2016, when she was just 16 years old, she was even named one of Time's Most Influential Teens of the year.
Of course, she's back on our screens as of writing for the fourth season of "Grown-ish" having premiered earlier this month, being joined by the likes singer-songwriter Trevor Jackson and Francia Raisa, but it's definitely Shahidi who's the focal point of the show. With so much success coming at a young age, what's the rising star's current net worth? As you might expect, it's pretty impressive.
Yara is worth seven figures
According to Know Net Worth, Yara Shahidi is a millionaire! Despite her tender age, the multi-talented actress has a stunning net worth of $1 million. Let's face it, can we really be surprised? She's been part of a wildly successful sitcom since she was barely in her teens and has spent pretty much her whole life on screen, having started with commercials at six years old before appearing alongside Eddie Murphy in the 2009 comedy "Imagine That" (via The Guardian).
Born in Minneapolis to an Iranian father and a mother of mixed African-American and Choctaw heritage (via InStyle), her second cousin is the iconic rapper Nas (via AmoMama) – you could say that talent runs in her family's veins. As well as her career success, Shahidi is one of a number of politically-vocal young people in Hollywood. None other but Michelle Obama wrote her a letter of recommendation to Harvard in 2018 (via Essence) – where Refinery29 report that she's majoring in Interdisciplinary Sociology and African American Studies– while she interviewed Hillary Clinton for Teen Vogue in 2017 (via Harper's Bazaar) and is a strong supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement.
With so many more years ahead of her, we might have to revisit her net worth sooner rather than later and see a real increase.
