Shay Mitchell Net Worth $2 Million
Shay Mitchell grew up in Mississauga, in Ontario with one younger brother, and her cousin is Lea Salonga, a singer and actress. As a very young girl, she showed her talents in performances, so she started going to dance lessons and competing. When she was 10-year-old, she moved to Vancouver, British Columbia with her family. Soon after, Shay went to a casting organized by a big international model agency, after which her career in the entertainment industry began. Regardless, she finished her education at West Vancouver Secondary School.
Since her career began when she was quite young, by her late teens she had become a recognized model, showing her cat walk skills on all the famous runways throughout the world. However, when she returned to Canada she decided to switch her career, and started taking acting classes. Soon she earned her first appearance, in the TV series “Degrassi: The Next Generation” (2009).
Since her debut, Shay has dedicated herself to an acting career, becoming more and more involved in Hollywood productions, and increasing her net worth. In 2010, she was cast in a lead role in the Disney series “Aaron Stone”, and showed her acting skills in an episode of the TV series “Rookie Blue”, the same year. These added to her net worth.
Furthermore to the success Shay had that year, she earned the role of Emily in the TV series “Pretty Little Liars”, which is currently in its sixth season, however, it was announced that the final season will be the seventh one, but that there is also a chance for the series to spawn a movie, which should also increase Shay`s net worth.
Recently, Shay made her debut appearance on the big screen, in the film “Mother`s Day” (2015) as Tina, and she also earned a role in the film “MF”, which is scheduled for a release in 2016. Again, her net worth should benefit from these appearances.
Overall, Shay is a young actress, but already has shown her potential, and she has earned a few awards as well, such as Cast To Watch, by Young Hollywood Award, which she shared with rising stars Lucy Hale, Ashley Benson and Troian Bellisario.
Shay is also a devoted humanitarian; she has served as a spokesperson for the Somaly Mam Foundation, which fights against sex trafficking, and she was also a contributor for the non-profit organization, The Trevor Project.
