Raven-Symoné Net Worth: How 'The Cosby Show' Actress Avoided Touching Money From Show
Raven-Symoné just made the shocking confession that, to this day, she hasn't laid a finger on the money she made while working on "The Cosby Show."
The 34-year-old dropped the bomb during a recent Instagram Live session with internet personality Jerome Trammel after he asked her to clarify a response she made earlier in their conversation.
"You hinted at [the fact] that you still have your 'Cosby' money... Is it true you haven’t touched your 'Cosby' money? Or you mean, like, residuals as of lately?" he asked.
"I haven’t touched my 'Cosby' money," Raven replied.
Trammel, impressed by the admission, responded, "Oooh, [expletive]. You rich! That’s a flex. That’s a humble flex."
He continued to talk her up in the caption of the social media post, writing, "#RavenSymone joined 'The Cosby Show' in 1989 at 3 years old. Today, she STILL generates money in residuals/royalties from the show. However, did you know that due to her other roles in TV, movies, music & etc. she has NOT spent ANY of her 'Cosby' show money & still has it saved? We stan a boss!"
"The Cosby Show" was a sitcom that centered around the Huxtables, an upper-middle-class African-American family living in New York. The show was on air for a total of eight seasons from 1984 until 1992, with Raven portraying Oliva Kendall on the series for the last three years of its run.
The former child actress was just 3-years-old when she began acting on the show. Considering it's been just over three decades since she first appeared on the series, her claim to have not touched the money made from the series prompts the question: How much is Raven Symoné worth?
The answer is a cool $55 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Looking at her portfolio of work outside of "The Cosby Show," it's easy to see how she amassed so much wealth. Following her time on the Bill Cosby-led comedy, Raven went on to do numerous projects with the Disney Channel including "That's So Raven," "The Cheetah Girls," and "Kim Possible," to name a few.
After a brief stint as a co-host of ABC's "The View" from 2015-2016, she returned to her Disney roots in a spinoff of "That's So Raven" titled "Raven's Home." The original series ran for four seasons and was one of the network's biggest shows to date with a whopping estimate of $400M in sales related to the show.
Sprinkled in between her various movie and television roles on popular shows like "Empire," "Black-ish," "The Little Rascals," and "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper," she also appeared in "Dr. Dolittle" (1998), which earned almost $300M at the box office.
With so much success it's no wonder why she hasn't had to dip into her "The Cosby Show" funds.
