Zendaya, fresh-faced and full of energy, spent her youth busting moves on the vibrant streets of Oakland, California. Being the offspring of teachers Claire Stoermer and Kazembe Ajamu, she was dancing her way into a bright future before most of us even had our plans in check.
The dough started to seriously stack when the young actress scored the role of Raquel (“Rocky”) Blue on the Disney Channel’s “Shake It Up”. She spent three years playing this much-loved character, cashing in a cool $140,000 along the way.
In 2020, she became the new face of Valentino, making waves in the fashion world. A year earlier, Tommy Hilfiger noticed Zendaya’s style vibe and teamed up with her for a cool collection, all of which have lined her pockets considerably.
