Ever wondered what it would have been like to grow up with a hip-hop legend as a parent? Well, the stars on Growing Up Hip Hop have shown us that it wasn't as much fun as we’d like to think.
The show portrays the lives of some of hip-hop's celebrity kids as they navigate their way through the ups and downs of the entertainment industry. While there are downs to their lives, a lot of them have been able to make something significant of themselves and along the way, have stacked quite the large pile of cash. Here are some of the wealthiest stars from the Growing Up Hip Hop.
8 Briana Latrise - $37 Million
Before her appearance on Growing Up Hip Hop, Briana Latrise, daughter of record executive Kendu Issacs, was already a successful photographer and blogger, but since her stint on the show, her fame has gone through the roof, and it wasn't just her fame that got a major boost.
She has been actively involved in the entertainment industry for some time now and has even written a few scripts, including the TV series The People in the Back. Today, she is by far the wealthiest cast member on the show with an estimated net worth of $37 million.
7 TJ Mizell - $9 Million
One look at TJ Mizell and you can probably tell what legend he is related to, but if you can’t, it’s the legendary DJ, Jam Master Jay. He was known for being a member of the iconic group, Run D.M.C. Now, just like his father, Mizell has built a name for himself in the industry. While his success landed him a job on ASAP FERG’s tour DJ, it has also helped start his own record label, among several other involvements. Together these ventures have earned him a net worth of $9 million.
6 Vanessa Simmons - $9 Million
Vanessa Simmons, daughter of Rev Run, is currently one of the biggest stars on the show, ant it's all thanks to her acting career. Most of her recognition is for her theatrical talents, which have landed her spots on several movies and television projects. Some of her most prominent bodies of works include Talking with the Taxman About Poetry, Hollywood Chaos, as well an appearance on The Steve Harvey Show. Vanessa has ties to several income streams besides her career, one of which involves several endorsement deals. In total, her net worth has been estimated at $9 million.
5 Angela Simmons - $7 Million
Among the entire cast involved in entrepreneurial ventures, Angela Simmons, second daughter of Rev Run, is one hand full of people with the most reach in that sector. While she is credited as a successful reality star, she has also been largely involved in the beauty line and has launched a few companies of her own.
Among them include her pastry shoe design line called LovePastry and a skincare line called Simmons Beauty that offers fans a variety of skincare and beauty products. While all of these earn her quite a stack of cash, she also has a large social media following and occasionally collaborates with other brands which of course pay her well. Currently, she has an estimated net worth of $7 million.
4 Romeo Miller - $5 Million
Known mostly by his stage name, Romeo, Miller got his big break as a rapper in the early 2000s after he got signed to No Limit Records, a label that used to be owned by his father, the hip hop legend, Master P. However, these days, Miller has been pulling his weight, both as a rapper and an actor. From his award shelf, it’s alright to say that he has been doing very well in both lines of work. As a famous rapper, he landed several deals, but his addition of acting to the mix just put more money in his pocket. Now, the superstar has been estimated to be worth $5 million.
3 Egypt Criss - $4 Million
Following the show, everyone probably has an opinion on which career path Criss, daughter of Treach, should focus all her energy on, but on close inspection, she seems to be crushing it all. The star first gained recognition in the entertainment industry for acting, but down the line, she discovered her flair for modeling and even singing. While she might be torn between a career path choice, she’s been making a lot from those lines of work, and the amount has been estimated to be a total of $4 million.
2 Kristinia DeBarge - $2 Million
Kristinia DeBarge, daughter of James DeBarge, first got to the public eye after her performance on the 2003 edition of American Idol spin-off, American Juniors. A while after, she landed a record deal with Island Records and has released several projects. She has also landed a few award nominations for her craft.
Besides her music, she is also a professional dancer and as we can tell from the show, her acting isn’t bad either. Over the years, DeBarge’s career has paid off a lot and that has helped her stack an estimated net worth of $2 million.
1 Boogie Dash - $2 Million
Starting from building Jay-Z's career to co-founding Roc-A-Fella records, Damon Dash’s reputation precedes him, and it appears his son Boogie might be following those footsteps too.
