RAVEN SYMONE COVERS EBONY MAGAZINE
Wednesday, February 7, 2007
Raven Symone, 21, is the cover model for the March issue of Ebony Magazine. The singer / actress talks about her life as of now, and what her future holds. I didn’t know she was worth 400 million! I knew those Disney checks were fat, but dayum! She is doing the damn thing.
Shout out to Taylor from The Greenlight for scanning/emailing the pics.

How can she have $400 mill if she wasnt even on the Forbes list….Mariah only has 225 mill and Janet 150 mill and beyonce aint even on that list….so what FORBES is lying now??? That’s probably her gross revenue in all the ventures she has made but not actual revenue minus everyone she’s gotta pay???

Damn. SHe is worth 400 million dollars. That’s more than Jay-Z and Puffy. Maybe I need to go holla at disney for some work if they pay like that. It shouldn’t have surprise me though, because she has been out for a minute and the show “That’s so Raven” is caking right now. So more power to ya sista. Just please continue to be yourself and don’t go and start dressing all hoish. Look at Brandy and MOnica right now. The first time they tried to go for a sexy look after all these years in the game they ended up flopping hard on they albums. I respect you raven and keep up the work.

Ms.BlackNasty, or whatever your name is, this may be a blog site, but type correct! You can type all the negativity you want, but know this, Raven is more beautiful than you, has more money than you, and more intelligent. Go to school, girl, and get your high school diploma (or junior high diploma, because you sound twelve years old.)

She looks awesome! I want to beat her face! Oh let me explain…beat her face means make her face up and when people are worth 400 mil means that could be her potential earning. If she keeps doing what(all) she’s doing at a certain time she’ll be banking that much.

Shhhhhheeeeeeiiit…I’ll gaa-gaa and goo-goo for $400,000…let alone, $400 Million. ROFLMAO…
Gone girl! Even if her cash value is one tenth of $400 Million, that’s more money than I’ll ever smell. She could retire any day, and be comfy, while my broke ass will be working for the next 30 years. LOL

Raven does look cute. But I really doubt that she is worth 400 million dollars, or she would have been listed on Forbes 20 highest paid women in the entertainment industry.

I am proud to state that Ravin is representing postive images for African American childre and women alike. She is true to herself and her culture of the thickness, intelligence and grace we as women posses without taking our clothes off and jiggling our ass infront of a camara or for loose change..
Go Raven.. Thank you for giving my daughter a postive tv image to aspire to reach one day..

I am so glad for her. Getting paid big time and not getting all caught up in the hype. She’s never involved in any scandlious shit like Paris Hilton, Brittany Spears, Linsely, etc. She’s beautiful and she is a great role for African-American girls and women. Do your thang girl!

I was just talking about Raven Symone the other day. Her people got her with the right network. Disney is automatic money, and the Cheeta Girl thing is bringing in even more money. I didn’t know 400 mil was what she was bringing in (didn’t see that on Forbes list) but that girl is living the good life!!

Raven is very pretty. But, why isn’t she ever listed on any of the Forbe lists or Black Enterprise list for richest celebs and moguls. Those little druggy Olsen twins are so why not Raven?
97.
hmmm
Wednesday, February 7, 2007 /
@12 and anyone else who doesn’t know. The Forbes list is a bit convoluted in its calculation. The Forbes list includes the following: (gross salary, net assets, net residual income, assets overall, reported bank balances, investments and projected earnings) at the end of a calendar or fical year.
Symone may have assets in her parent’s name, other business names, income property, unreported or foreign-held assets, projected residuals and earnings and contracts or endorsements, as well as projected earnings from syndication of her various tv series.
Don’t get it twisted. Just because you are not on the forbes list doesn’t mean she’s not paid and worth serious bucks. Many celebrities and wealthy folks keep their bank balances on the low-low. But are rolling in incomprehensible amounts of dough!

GO RAVEN! She’s looking amazing and I’m glad she’s stepping up her grown woman bizzness.
It is SO SAD to see some of these fools steadily harping on her NON-EXISTANT weight problem.
Obviously she’s doing something right to attain 400 million dollars!
*Maybe her success (& JHud’s) will take our folks out of this wack ass social brainwashing that our women are fat or ugly with some meat on their bones.
-Kudos again to Raven!

I don’t doubt that she’s worth $400 mil. Disney shows run in syndication on Disney and their parent company ABC for 2 days short of forever. She has a clothing line. And I think I read she got producer’s credit for her show on Disney and that Cheetah Girls movie. (And until High School Musical came along Cheetah Girls was the highest grossing movie the Disney Channel ever had.)
I don’t know how the Forbes list works but that girl is paid. (Just a question, does the Forbes list note everyone in a certain earning range or is it just certain people who’ve made a metric ton of money?)
And it has been said more than once here in Hollyweird that she’s worth as much as them Olsen nuts.
I’m no Stan but I give props when they’re due.

Aiight if she breaks down how she’s worth that much then I’ll buy that damn magazine. If not, then aint no sense in buyin it. Must admit, she’s lookin semi-fab in it. Work it!

My son and I are big fans of Raven Simone. Let me try to do the math tho…..ok, now I here that sitcoms pay at the highest rate $20k per week and they only film for 4 months and then there off for the rest of the year unless they do a movie. So thats about $320k for the sitcom alone and she also does the Cheetah girls movies too. And Raven has been on sitcoms steady since the Cosbys and that was back when she was like 7 yrs old and now she is like 19 now. So she has been in the business steady for over 12 years an um !!!!!she still gets residual checks too. Hmmmm, I think we may have something here.
She has probably invested in real estate, stocks and bonds since she has started. Okay. She may just be worth that by now. Dayum! She is doin it big yall, steak and lobster baby.

@ 102, NINAGIRL. It’s very possible. Making money is not just about getting paid it’s about investing, and being creative enough to find a lotta other ways to make money. Make a few Disney movies or tv shows and you’re set for life. Add real estate to that. She probably sings some Disney songs including her own theme song for “That’s So Raven”, that’s money. This girl is smart. 21 years old, rich as fuck, living la dolce vita. She knows her shit. Raven is a boss, a silent wealth, people don’t see her coming but she’s a BOSS!!!!

Hell yeah she’s worth that much. She is capatalizing on a secotr of the industry where there is virtually NO competition. There is crossover appeal ALL DAY LONG with her shows and what she’s doing. I think it is FABULOUS. And at the end of the day–she’s managed to stay out of all the negativity that industry has to offer.

I believe that she is worth that much. She gets paid every time an episode of the Cosby Show airs, every time disney airs one of her old shows.. plus she has numerous videos (not talking about music) clothing line etc… that girl is a mini mogul and she has been making money since she was a babe. Hell yeah she’s worth $400 mil. Go on, do your thing beautiful sista. You look fab. We don’t all have to be skinny to be beautiful.

14–do not sleep on that Disney ish. Between the tv show, str8 to dvd movies, albums (chetaah girls), there is a hell of alot of money generated by disney stars. Trust…she could probably buy you from your own mother and still have enough left over to buy you again from your father.

OK yall, she isn’t worth $400 Million, her name has made $400 for some Jewish men. Forbes has had a list on the richest women in entertainment and she isn’t on it. The Olsen twins and Hilary Duff aren’t even worth that, BUT I’m sooooo proud of Simone, she has found her niche. AT the point she is now, she will be worth $400 million in a decades.

This chick been working since she was a baby. She’s doesn’t just play in movies, she sings Disney songs, she owns her “That’s So” production company, invested in real estate so HELL YEAH she could be richer than Janet and Mariah. She’s a smart business woman. SHE IS A BOSS!!!!!
Peep this : she played in “Hanging with mr Cooper”, “Dr Doolittle”, “That’s so raven”, “Cheetah Girls 1 and 2″, She was the voice of the Leopard FRA from “Madagascar”, voice of MANY other cartoons for Disney and other companies. Was in Cosby Show for years. Make a few movies, voices, write and sing a few songs, star in tv shows for Disney and you’re set for life, and these Disney movies, songs, and shows and the Cosby show being sold on channels and DVDS all over the world.
She makes actress money AND production money (THATS SO RAVEN IS MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD CASH, that’s the biggest Disney Channel sitcom, WORLDWIDE success). This chick is diving in millions and millions. She’s worth at least $200 millions. She has a plan and knows her shit. She’s a BAD CHICK.

why are people harping on about her not being worth 400million, personally i wish i got paid 1/2 or even a 1/4 of what she earns. Raven is making money and doing her thing. She doesnt disrespect herself like most child celebrities and she is incredibly successful.
Plus if the Olsen twins are BILLIONAIRES then I’m sure Raven is worth an incredible amount as well. Plus shes been working since she was 5years old. She must have accumalated a very high sum of money in that time.
As the old saying goes, dont hate congradulate

I like Raven Simone.I think that she is a very talented young lady, and her parents have done a great job making sure that she has had a well balanced lifestyle.She is respectful,intelligent& I have yet to hear anything negative about her.She dresses appropraitly.She may dress alil sexier now that shes 21, but prior to that she always looked her age .Shes come along way from the lil girl on Cosby show many years ago. Im sure thats shes a role model for alot fo young ladies ,who have ever dealt with issues concerning size and self esteem, not to mention sekf love.Shes not exactly tiny by hollywood standards, yet she’s beautiful nevertheless:) Go on Raven !

you people need to get your eyes checked. anyone who watches her show can see the girl is not gorgeous. angela bassett, garcelle beauvais, etc. are gorgeous ok. she used to be cute when she was younger but now…i don’t like the last pic either. and she didn’t lose weight. it’s called photoshopping. i saw them do it on tv and they can make you look slimmer and prettier. obviously it worked on her because this is the best i’ve seen her look since her weight gain.
you can call me negative but i’m just trying to put some truth on this board

Why is it so hard to believe that another black woman besides Oprah can be PAID. Is it because she’s young or maybe she isn’t “mainstream”. Let’s not get it twisted Disney paper is VERY lucrative. With all the different merchandise she’s involved with, the production company, investments & clothing it can add up! Let’s be real people the media really doesn’t give Raven the credit she deserves. If she was a druken-whore with an eating disorder we would know all of her business. Raven’s smart and a grounded young lady not caught in the Hollywood Hype. A person with REAL MONEY never talks about it!

Will Smith don’t have it, Tom Cruise don’t have it, Jennifer Aniston don’t have it, The Olsen twins don’t have it, Beyonce don’t have it, and Raven Symone sure as heyall don’t have it. You guys have no concept of what it takes to get to that kind of coinage and you’re showing your ignorance by arguing about it.

The $400 million is probably not what we think it is (i.e., her personal net worth) — but it’s still a HELLUVA lot of money, LOL.
I am just happy to see Lil’ Sis doing well and obviously being smart with her money. Her parents must have been looking out for her as well, and didn’t bleed her dry or steal her money.
In a day and time when skanks are getting out of cars with no panties on, Miss USAs are drugged-up and drunk, I’m glad to see somebody like Raven doing well.
Go head Raven!

She tours like all year round …and she’s been doin this since she was like 5. I can see. Not to mention Im sure she’s invested the money…she took a note from them Olsen girls ..Get it RAven
