Her career transformed dramatically when she landed the titular role in Disney Channel's "That's So Raven" (2003-2007), which became one of the network's most successful series and established her as a household name.
In her adult career, Raven has continued to diversify her talents. She made her Broadway debut in "Sister Act" (2012), served as co-host on ABC's "The View" (2015-2016), and returned to Disney to executive produce and star in "Raven's Home" (2017-2023). She's also ventured into directing, helming episodes for several series, including "Bunk'd" and "Sydney to the Max."
Beyond acting, Raven launched her music career at age seven, releasing her debut album "Here's to New Dreams" (1993). She went on to release three more studio albums and contributed to multiple Disney soundtracks, including "The Cheetah Girls" franchise. Her film credits include the "Dr. Dolittle" series and voice work as Iridessa in the "Tinker Bell" franchise and Monique in "Kim Possible."
Raven-Symone was born Raven-Symone Christina Pearman on December 10, 1985, in Atlanta, Georgia. She moved to New York as a toddler and began working as a model almost immediately. She worked with Ford Models and by age two, she had appeared in advertisements for such brands as Ritz Crackers, Jell-O, and Cool Whip. Raven-Symone, along with her parents, Lydia and Christopher Pearman, moved to Ossining, New York, when Raven was three, and she attended Park School.
After auditioning for a role in "Ghost Dad" oppositeBill Cosby, she was invited to join the cast of "The Cosby Show" in 1989. She became a household name, appearing as Olivia on the show for its final two seasons. She then went on to appear in various television projects and films, including "Queen: The Story of an American Family," in which she played the younger version ofHalle Berry'sstarring character.
Raven started a singing career at the age of seven. She was signed with MCA Records, and she spent two years taking vocal lessons fromMissy Elliott. Raven-Symone released her first album, "Here's to New Dreams," in 1993. Her two singles, "That's What Little Girls Are Made Of" and "Raven is the Flavor," reached the lower half of the Billboard Hot 100. Due to low sales, she was dropped from the record label in 1995. Her album had sold under 100,000 copies in the United States.
With over 30 years in entertainment, Raven-Symoné has collected numerous accolades, including five NAACP Image Awards, and has successfully transitioned from child star to multifaceted entertainment professional.
Contrary to popular belief,Raven-Symone is not worth $400 million. That rumor comes from an unsubstantiated media report that estimated Raven's business empire would eventually generate $400 million in revenues for parent company Disney. That statistic is quite different from Raven-Symone having a personal net worth of $400 million. Assuming that the $400 million number was true, Raven would likely be entitled to only a small percentage of those profits. It would likely be between 10% and 20% after taxes, management, lawyer, and operational fees. Raven's take would be much smaller than $400 million, but still quite an impressive amount. Furthermore, for anyone who still is under the impression that Raven-Symone is worth $400 million personally, that would mean she has managed to earn roughly $1 billion in her lifetime to account for taxes, fees, and costs. While Raven has been very well paid in her career, this is simply not true.
In summary, the total wealth of Raven-Symoné reflects strategic moves.
