Teyana Taylor has built a career and fortune that expands industries as a singer, songwriter, dancer, actress and more. Here is how the Harlem native, born Dec. 10, 1990 built her net worth.
Taylor entered the entertainment industry at a young age with her first TV appearance being on MTV’s “My Super Sweet 16” in 2007. But even before that, she began performing when she was only four.
Her breakthrough came with her collaboration with Kanye West on his song “Dark Fantasy.” Years later she received more recognition for her dancing talents showcased in West's music video for his song “Fade.”
Taylor built a musical career of her own which includes projects like her 2012 debut album “The Misunderstanding of Teyana Taylor.” She also worked under West’s G.O.O.D. Music Group.
Other TV shows Taylor has appeared on include “Teyana and Iman,” a VH1 reality show starring Taylor and her then NBA player husband, Iman Shumpert. Additionally, she won season seven of "The Masked Singer.”
Taylor decided to retire from the music industry. However, she has continued to expand her career in other directions, specifically in film and television, since.
Taylor is set to make her directorial debut with “Get Lite,” which is currently in development at Paramount Pictures. The film will star Storm Reid, who is also one of its producers.
"Get Lite" is about a studious teenaged boy in New York City who falls in love with a beat maker (played by Reid) who asks him to join her Litefeet dance crew. The boy must decide between academics or his passion.
Taylor is also set to star in Ryan Murphy’s new legal drama, “All’s Fair” alongside Kim Kardashian, Niecy Nssh and more. The show is in pre-production and scheduled for release this year.
Elsewhere in the world of acting, Taylor will be portraying Dionne Warwick in her upcoming biopic that is currently in pre-production.
Taylor has a very diverse career outside of acting. She worked as the creative director for UK fashion brand PrettyLittleThing in 2021 and has released shoes with both Nike and Adidas.
With all of the projects she is involved in, Taylor has an estimated net worth of $5 million as of 2025. She is an example of how not limiting your creative outlets can open up more opportunities for success.
