Fantasia Net Worth $3 Million
To begin with, the girl was raised at High Point, by her parents, Joseph and Diane Barrino, both singers. Fantasy grew up in a poor environment, dangerous for a young girl like her, but was surrounded by music. In her autobiography, she states that she was sexually abused, and at age 16 she became pregnant with a little girl.
In 2004, Fantasy attended the Atlanta auditions of the famous “American Idol” TV program, and instantly impressed the judges with her talent, which also impressed the American public and led to her winning the third edition of the program, with more than one million votes ahead of second-ranked Diana DeGarmo. Her interpretation of “Summertime” left her in tears, as she dedicated it to daughter Zion, and was named by Judges Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell the best song ever seen in the history of all ‘Idol’ series.
After this triumph, the artist signed a contract with J Records. Her first album “Free Yourself” debuted in the top ten of the American charts, and sold over two million copies in total, earning four nominations for a Grammy Award. The debut song “The Believe” was released after the victory of “American Idol”, and reached first position on the chart, remaining for eleven weeks and becoming the best-selling single in the US in 2005. Fantasy was also named number one artist for Adult Urban Contemporary Format 2005, according to Billboard Magazine in 2005, and thanks to her album won numerous awards. Her second album “Fantasia” was released in 2006, and gained another three Grammy Awards nomination. At the end of 2007, Fantasia nominated at the American Music Awards as the best soul rhythm and blues artist. Since 2007, the singer has taken part in the Broadway production “The Purple Colour” in the role of the protagonist, Celie, for which Fantasy won the World Theatre Award, the most important award for a Broadway actor. Her net worth was certainly on the rise.
In 2010, the artist released her third album, “Back to Me”, which has had a great sales success in the US. The album entitled “Side Effects of You” was released in 2012, and in 2013, she performed live on five occasions with star tenor Andrea Bocelli.
Fantasia received three more nominations for Grammy Awards in 2014, including the Best Urban Contemporary Album. In 2016, she released the single “No Time for It”, co-written and produced by Brian Kennedy, and the song “Sleeping with the One I Love”, written and produced by R. Kelly – both songs are taken from the fifth studio album of the artist – “The Definition Of …”, which was released in the middle of 2016.
Finally, in the personal life of the singer, she has two children. She was in relationship with the basketball player Michael Clayton and the hip hop artists Young Dro. In 2015, she married the businessman Kendall Taylor.

Of Indian ancestry, Aarti alongside her brother Nishad, and sister Kruti moved a lot within Pennsylvania with her family when she was still a toddler, including living in Pittsburgh, Mt. Lebanon, Wexford and Fox Chapel. She went to Shady Side Academy located in Point Breeze, and after matriculation enrolled at New York University, from which she earned a degree in film writing and directing.
Aarti made her professional acting debut in 2006, in the film “The Memsahib”, directed by her sister Kruti, who is a filmmaker, who was mainly responsible for luring Aarti towards the performing arts, since their parents are doctors and wanted all their children to follow in their footsteps. After her debut, Aarti appeared in a commercial for Volvo, and started auditioning for new film and television roles. However, she secured only minor roles in such TV series as “Quarterlife” (2008), and “Heroes” (2009), until in 2010 luck smiled upon her as she was chosen for the part of Priya Koothrappali in the TV comedy series “The Big Bang Theory” (2010-2011), which increased her net worth to a large degree. Her career now got underway, and in 2012 she featured in the comedy-drama film “The Monogamy Experiment”, starring Amy Rider, Edgar Morais and Tohory Masamune, while in 2015 she made a notable appearance in the romantic comedy film “I’ll See You in My Dreams”, with Blythe Danner, Martin Starr and Sam Elliott in the lead roles, which further increased her net worth.
She is now working on the drama film “Love Sonia”, starring Demi Moore, Freida Pinto and Mark Duplass, scheduled for release later this year, so her net worth is certainly still rising.
When it comes to her personal life, Aarti is married to Purvesh Mankad, with whom she has a daughter. She now resides in Los Angeles with her family.

Milla Jovovich Net Worth
Milla Natasha Jovovich was born on 17 December 1975, in Kiev, Ukraine (then in the USSR), and is a model, actress and singer, perhaps best known for her breakthrough role in the film “The Fifth Element” in 1997, with Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman.
So just how rich is Milla Jovovich, as of late 2017? Authoritative sources estimate that Milla has a net worth of over $45 million, accumulated from her various career elements spanning almost 30 years since she began modelling in 1987.
Milla Jovovich Net Worth $45 Million
Milla had a really unusual childhood, maybe that’s one of the reasons for her multi-million dollar net worth. Jovovich started her carrier in modeling from the early age of nine, a few years after she and her parents moved from Ukraine, which at that time belonged to the Soviet Union, to Los Angeles, California, in 1980. She even dropped out of school at the age of 12, when Gene Lemuel discovered her, and she signed a contract with Prima Modeling Agency. Milla Jovovich was covered by magazines including Vogue, Glamour, Madmoiselle, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, and has been advertising brands including L’oreal, Christian Dior, Calvin Klein, Donna Koran, Revlon for many years.
However, exclusive looks and beauty was not the only value she had: Milla Jovovich has a great voice, a talent to write songs, design fashion and find herself in acting as well. Milla started her acting career in 1988 in the film “Two Moon Junction”, but the roles that gave this girl much more attention were in “Dazed and Confused” in 1993 and “The Fifth Element” in 1997 directed by Luc Besson, in which she worked with Bruce Willis. Of course, subsequently all five films based on “Resident Evil” made Milla Jovovich’s popularity and net worth go through the roof. The original movie was so successful that it was even turned into a video game.
Between her acting in those two movies, Milla tried the shoes of a singer and a song writer, and released her debut album – “The Divine Comedy – which was really appreciated by the audience and critics and even received positive feedback from Rolling Stone magazine’s, John McAlley; in his opinion the album was remarkable. In 1999 Milla Jovovich became a member of the band named Plastic Has Memory, and performed some gigs in New York and Las Vegas, but unfortunately not with her new band, and Milla has never released a second album.
As for her career in fashion, Milla launched her first line in 2003, and her brand was successful until 2008 when she decided to close her business because of lack of time, which is perhaps no surprise, assuming that all of her free time was taken-up by her daughter Ever Gabo Anderson, who was born in 2007.
As for other details of Milla’s personal life, aside from several well-known relationships, she has married three times, all husbands met when taking some part in films in which she was acting. She first married Shawn Andrews in 1992, which was apparently quickly annulled by her mother; ironically, he and Milla were starring in “Dazed and Confused”! The second was with the director of “The Fifth Element” – Luc Besson (1997-99), and she has been married to Paul W. S. Anderson, who worked with Jovovich on the set of “Resident Evil”, since 2009, and he is the father of her two daughters. The family is based in Los Angeles.
Milla is something of a philanthropist too, and often participates in and supports various charities including UNICEF, World Education, Ovarian Cancer Research Fund and many more.
