Laverne Cox spent her childhood with an identical twin brother in her hometown, where she was brought up by a single mother and grandmother; her brother is M Lamar, who is known as a composer and musician. She went to the Alabama School of Fine Arts in Birmingham, where she initially studied creative writing, then switched to Dance, so then enrolled at Indiana University, Bloomington, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in dance. Later, she enrolled at Marymount Manhattan College in New York City, to study acting.
Thus, her professional career began in 2000, when she made her debut appearance in the short video “Betty Anderson”. She was subsequently cast in the film “The Kings Of Brooklyn” in 2004, which really marked the establishment of her net worth, in the meantime appearing in various clubs and restaurants as a drag queen. In 2008, she began guest-starring in such TV series as “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”, and “Bored To Death”, after which she appeared in the role of Stephanie in the 2009 film “Uncle Stephanie”, and as a hooker in the film “Bronx Paradise” in 2010, so her net worth was rising consistently.
At the beginning of the next decade, Laverne had a major role when appearig as Cinnamon in the 2011 film “Carla”, directed by Eli Hershko, then as Chantelle in “Musical Chairs”, followed in 2013 when she starred as Genesuis in Eddy Duran’s film “36 Saints”, and later that year was selected to play Sophia Burset in the TV series “Orange Is The New Black” (2013-present). This latter has certainly boosted her net worth, as it is still running today.
Her next major role came in the documentary film about herself, entitled “Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word” (2014), which she also produced, and for which she was nominated for the 2015 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Documentary, which added a considerable amount to her net worth too.
To speak further about her career, Laverne also appeared as Deathy in the 2015 film “Grandma”, starring alongside Julia Garner and Lily Tomlin, and was chosen to portray Sheena in the TV series “The Mindy Project” (2015-2017). Most recently, she featured as Cameron Wirth in the TV series “Doubt” (2017), and will appear as Amanda Jones in the film “The Trustee” set for a 2018 release, which will also increase her net worth.
Additional to her career as an actress, Cox has also become known as a producer. Her first project was the reality TV series “Transform Me” (2010), in which she was also one of the official cast, and then the previously mentioned documentary about herself, for which she won the 2015 Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Special Class Special as the Executive Producer. Most recently, she worked on the film “Free CeCe” (2016). Her net worth is certainly rising.
Speaking about her personal life, Laverne Cox is an openly transgender woman, who has been in a relationship with Jono Freedrix since 2014. Unsurprisingly she is also known as a strong advocate for LGBT rights, and in fact was the first openly transgender person to appear on the cover of “Time” magazine. Laverne is still resident in New York City.

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.

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.
