Born Kirk Dwayne Franklin on 26 January 1970, in Fort Worth, Texas, USA, he is a gospel musician, choir director and author, probably best known for fronting urban contemporary gospel choirs such as The Family, God’s Property and One Nation Crew beginning in the early ’90s.

So just how rich is Kirk Franklin? Sources have estimated that Franklin‘s net worth is $10 million. There are no doubts that his career in music is the origin of Kirk Franklin’s modest fortune.

Kirk Franklin Net Worth $10 Million

Kirk Franklin was abandoned by his mom, and raised with some difficulty by an aunt, who encouraged Kirk to take piano lessons when Frankin was only four years old. However, he showed that he had an ear for music by playing songs by ear, and actually being offered a contract at the age of seven, which was disallowed by his aunt. Instead, Kirk started singing in a church choir, and at the age of 12 he was made director, although he was working with adults.

Perhaps because of a strict religious childhood, Kirk Franklin was still a bit of a problem child in his teens, so his grandmother enrolled him in a music conservatory associated with a local university. This was partly successful, however, Kirk’s girlfriend became pregnant, and he was forced to leave the conservatory apparently because of ill-discipline, so then persevered with music with the church choir.

In 1992, Kirk Franklin founded The Family, a choir comprising friends and associates. Vicki Mack-Lataillade, the co-founder of record label GospoCentric,  heard one of their demo tapes and immediately signed Kirk & The Family to a recording contract. In 1993, the group became Kirk Franklin & The Family, and released their self-titled debut album, which spent almost 100 weeks on the Gospel music charts, including 42 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart, being the first gospel album to sell over a million copies. It also made it onto the R&B charts, eventually earning platinum sales status.

Several releases of albums followed, including a 1995 Christmas album, and “Watcha Lookin’ 4” in 1996, which was certified double platinum and earned Kirk Franklin the first of seven Grammy Awards. A collaboration album with the vocal ensemble God’s Property followed in 1997, the lead single, “Stomp”, featuring Cheryl ‘Salt’ James (of Salt-N-Pepa), being a big hit, and certified platinum three times, bringing Franklin another Grammy for Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album.

In 1996, Kirk Franklin’s song “Joy” was recorded by Whitney Houston and the Georgia Mass Choir, and was included on the best-selling soundtrack to the movie “The Preacher’s Wife”.

Regretfully, legal arguments saw the The Family break-up in 2000, although they re-united for a concert in 2010. However, Kirk Franklin added considerably to his net worth from the sales of his subsequent solo albums: “The Rebirth of Kirk Franklin”, “A Season of Remixes”, “Hero”, “Songs for the Storm”, “The Fight of My Life”, “Hello Fear”, and “The Essential Kirk Franklin”. He has now sold over 20 million copies internationally, and apart from Grammys has won 15 Stellar Awards and 13 GMA Dove Awards. Kirk has also toured extensively over the years, often in collaboration with other sol artists, including Donnie McClurkin, Yolanda Adams and Steve Harvey, which also added to his net worth..

In  his personal life,  Kirk Franklin married long-time friend Tammy Collins in 1996. When they wed, each had a child from previous relationships, and the couple subsequently has two more children together.

Interestingly, in 2005 Franklin appeared with his wife on TVs “The Oprah Winfrey Show”, specifically to discuss how he ended his addiction to pornography.

Marlon Jackson Net Worth

Marlon David Jackson was born on 12 March 1957, in Gary, Indiana USA, and is a singer and dancer, probably  best known for being a member of The Jackson Five – he’s also known by his nicknames the Jokester, Dancing Machine and the Dancingest Jackson. In addition to his career as a musician, Marlon has also worked as a real estate agent, and is also one of the owners of Black Family Channel.

So just how rich is Marlon Jackson, as of late 2017? Authoritative sources have estimated that Marlon’s net worth is close to $200,000 dollars, accumulated from his careers which began in the mid-1960s. As Marlon still continues to perform with his brothers, there is a good chance that his wealth will continue to grow somewhat.

Marlon Jackson Net Worth $200,000

Marlon Jackson was a twin, but his brother died shortly after birth.  When Marlon was still a young boy he and his younger brother Michael eventually joined their three older brothers – Jackie, Tito and Jermaine – to form The Jackson Five. Although Marlon had to work more than others to become a proficient singer and dancer, he was able to become a good musician and what is more important, a dancer, and became responsible for the main dance moves of the group. The Jackson Five subsequently released 18 albums during their active years, and undertook six lengthy tours, some ;iterally around the world all of which considerably boosted their popularity. The success of The Jackson Five had a huge impact on the growth of Marlon Jackson’s net worth.

However, during the ’70s the group became less popular, although not so Michael, and effectively disbanded in the mid-80s. In 1997 The Jackson Five was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. What is more, they also have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In addition to this, Marlon was a part of a reality show, entitled ‘The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty’, which also added to his  net worth. Meantime, in 1987 Marlon began his career as a solo artist and released his – as it turned out – only solo album, entitled “Baby Tonight”. The whole album was produced by him, and it helped raise his net worth.

However, Marlon was not particularly keen to continue in the music industry, and branched out into real estate, moving to southern California and becoming successful in the business there. Another string to his bow was as part owner of a cable network called  the Black Family Channel, with programming specifically aimed at the black community, which was also well received and added to Marlon’s net worth too.

Over the years, although the family has lost Michael Jackson they still continue performing as The Jackson Five once in a while. This not only makes the loss of their brother less painful but it also helps fans to remember how Michael performed.

In his personal life, Marlon has been married to Carol Ann Parker since 1975, when they were both 18, and they have two daughters and a son.

Gary Numan Net Worth $7 Million

[divider]

To begin with, the boy was raised in Hammersmith; Gary’s father was a bus driver at British Airways, which is why Gary wanted to become a pilot at an early stage, but this professional wish was not fulfilled due to a lack of schooling. Gary thought of many other professions, but already by the age of 15 he had begun to write songs, and played in several bands. Together with his uncle Jess Lidyard, and Paul Gardiner, he founded the band Tubeway Army. He first appeared under the pseudonym Valerian, and took his artist name Numan later.

Numan’s career really began at the end of the 1970s, when he founded the New Wave Band Tube Army. In 1979, they landed the worldwide hit “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?”, and the same year, his already third album “Replicas” was number one in the British charts for four weeks. Later, another number one single hit followed, entitled “Cars”, with both singles certified gold. The two following albums (now under the name of Gary Numan), “The Pleasure Principle” (1979) and “Telekon” (1980), again appeared on the British charts, and until the middle of the 1980s, especially in England the band was very successful; all the aforementioned albums received certifications for sales. In 1982 he released the album “I, Assassin”, and had his last big single hit with “We Take Mystery”. By that time, however, his popularity had already begun to fall and after the album “Warriors” (1983) Beggars Banquet broke the record contract.

Numan subsequently founded his own record label, Numa Records and released the albums “Berserker” (1984), “The Fury” (1985) and “Strange Charm” (1986). He also collaborated with Bill Sharpe from the Shakatak group, and after several failures, his career turned around in the 1990s. The album “Sacrifice” (1994) received a positive reception by several critics. Groups like Hole, Foo Fighters, The Smashing Pumpkins and Marilyn Manson made cover versions of his songs, and Nine Inch Nails mentioned Numan as an important influence. Numan’s new goth rock style resulted in albums like “Exile” (1997) and “Pure” (2000), which gave him a partially new audience, while his earlier music was re-launched.

In 2013, Numan released its twentieth studio album, “Splinter” (Songs from a Broken Mind), and the album “Savage” (Songs from a Broken World) is set for a late 2017 release.

Finally, in the personal life of the singer and musician, Numan married Gemma O’Neill in 1997. Today he lives with her and their three children in East Sussex – his family is largely excluded from public view. Numan claims to have a mild form of Asperger’s syndrome.

Around the same time, Ford appeared in her first reality television series, ” I Bet You Will”, and released the song “A Toast to Men” from her unreleased second album “Sexysexobsessive”; the song achieved some success, appearing in soap operas promotional ads, so Ford’s net worth rose again.

Born Kirk Dwayne Franklin on 26 January 1970, in Fort Worth, Texas, USA, he is a gospel musician, choir director and author, probably best known for fronting urban contemporary gospel choirs such as The Family, God’s Property and One Nation Crew beginning in the early ’90s.

So just how rich is Kirk Franklin? Sources have estimated that Franklin‘s net worth is $10 million. There are no doubts that his career in music is the origin of Kirk Franklin’s modest fortune.

Kirk Franklin Net Worth $10 Million

Kirk Franklin was abandoned by his mom, and raised with some difficulty by an aunt, who encouraged Kirk to take piano lessons when Frankin was only four years old. However, he showed that he had an ear for music by playing songs by ear, and actually being offered a contract at the age of seven, which was disallowed by his aunt. Instead, Kirk started singing in a church choir, and at the age of 12 he was made director, although he was working with adults.

Perhaps because of a strict religious childhood, Kirk Franklin was still a bit of a problem child in his teens, so his grandmother enrolled him in a music conservatory associated with a local university. This was partly successful, however, Kirk’s girlfriend became pregnant, and he was forced to leave the conservatory apparently because of ill-discipline, so then persevered with music with the church choir.

In 1992, Kirk Franklin founded The Family, a choir comprising friends and associates. Vicki Mack-Lataillade, the co-founder of record label GospoCentric,  heard one of their demo tapes and immediately signed Kirk & The Family to a recording contract. In 1993, the group became Kirk Franklin & The Family, and released their self-titled debut album, which spent almost 100 weeks on the Gospel music charts, including 42 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart, being the first gospel album to sell over a million copies. It also made it onto the R&B charts, eventually earning platinum sales status.

Several releases of albums followed, including a 1995 Christmas album, and “Watcha Lookin’ 4” in 1996, which was certified double platinum and earned Kirk Franklin the first of seven Grammy Awards. A collaboration album with the vocal ensemble God’s Property followed in 1997, the lead single, “Stomp”, featuring Cheryl ‘Salt’ James (of Salt-N-Pepa), being a big hit, and certified platinum three times, bringing Franklin another Grammy for Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album.

In 1996, Kirk Franklin’s song “Joy” was recorded by Whitney Houston and the Georgia Mass Choir, and was included on the best-selling soundtrack to the movie “The Preacher’s Wife”.

Regretfully, legal arguments saw the The Family break-up in 2000, although they re-united for a concert in 2010. However, Kirk Franklin added considerably to his net worth from the sales of his subsequent solo albums: “The Rebirth of Kirk Franklin”, “A Season of Remixes”, “Hero”, “Songs for the Storm”, “The Fight of My Life”, “Hello Fear”, and “The Essential Kirk Franklin”. He has now sold over 20 million copies internationally, and apart from Grammys has won 15 Stellar Awards and 13 GMA Dove Awards. Kirk has also toured extensively over the years, often in collaboration with other sol artists, including Donnie McClurkin, Yolanda Adams and Steve Harvey, which also added to his net worth..

In  his personal life,  Kirk Franklin married long-time friend Tammy Collins in 1996. When they wed, each had a child from previous relationships, and the couple subsequently has two more children together.

Interestingly, in 2005 Franklin appeared with his wife on TVs “The Oprah Winfrey Show”, specifically to discuss how he ended his addiction to pornography.

Marlon David Jackson was born on 12 March 1957, in Gary, Indiana USA, and is a singer and dancer, probably  best known for being a member of The Jackson Five – he’s also known by his nicknames the Jokester, Dancing Machine and the Dancingest Jackson. In addition to his career as a musician, Marlon has also worked as a real estate agent, and is also one of the owners of Black Family Channel.

So just how rich is Marlon Jackson, as of late 2017? Authoritative sources have estimated that Marlon’s net worth is close to $200,000 dollars, accumulated from his careers which began in the mid-1960s. As Marlon still continues to perform with his brothers, there is a good chance that his wealth will continue to grow somewhat.

Marlon Jackson was a twin, but his brother died shortly after birth.  When Marlon was still a young boy he and his younger brother Michael eventually joined their three older brothers – Jackie, Tito and Jermaine – to form The Jackson Five. Although Marlon had to work more than others to become a proficient singer and dancer, he was able to become a good musician and what is more important, a dancer, and became responsible for the main dance moves of the group. The Jackson Five subsequently released 18 albums during their active years, and undertook six lengthy tours, some ;iterally around the world all of which considerably boosted their popularity. The success of The Jackson Five had a huge impact on the growth of Marlon Jackson’s net worth.

However, during the ’70s the group became less popular, although not so Michael, and effectively disbanded in the mid-80s. In 1997 The Jackson Five was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. What is more, they also have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In addition to this, Marlon was a part of a reality show, entitled ‘The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty’, which also added to his  net worth. Meantime, in 1987 Marlon began his career as a solo artist and released his – as it turned out – only solo album, entitled “Baby Tonight”. The whole album was produced by him, and it helped raise his net worth.

However, Marlon was not particularly keen to continue in the music industry, and branched out into real estate, moving to southern California and becoming successful in the business there. Another string to his bow was as part owner of a cable network called  the Black Family Channel, with programming specifically aimed at the black community, which was also well received and added to Marlon’s net worth too.

Over the years, although the family has lost Michael Jackson they still continue performing as The Jackson Five once in a while. This not only makes the loss of their brother less painful but it also helps fans to remember how Michael performed.

In his personal life, Marlon has been married to Carol Ann Parker since 1975, when they were both 18, and they have two daughters and a son.

Toriano Adaryll “Tito” Jackson was born on 14th October 1953, in Gary, Indiana USA, and is a singer and a guitarist, who became famous in the mid-’60s as a member of the group The Jackson Brothers, which later became The Jackson 5. Nowadays he performs as a blues musician in clubs, being the last of the Jackson brothers to start a solo career.

So just how rich is Tito Jackson? His net worth has been estimated by authoritative sources at over $10 million, money made from music. Media were speculating a few years ago that all the Jacksons were in fact not as rich as they would like people to believe, and that Tito Jackson’s net worth would be closer to $2 million. Most of his earnings have come from touring, album sales and royalties: their tour in 1984 alone grossed over $70 million, which brought to the Jacksons about $36 million, or $7 million each. He compounds his earnings by performing soundtracks for several television series, and with appearances in television shows, series and documentaries. The singer owns a house in Woodland Hills, California.

Tito and his brothers started performing in 1964, and they became known after winning several talent shows, including The Apollo Theatre’s Amateur Night competition. The group became really famous after signing with Motown Records in 1969, and as The Jackson Five had a series of number one hits, including “ABC”, “I’ll Be There”, “The Love You Save”, and “I Want You Back”. The group signed a new contract in 1975 with Epic Records, and released five albums. In 1980, Tito Jackson and his brothers received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and, in 1997, all Jackson Five members were inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame.

After 1990, the group stopped performing, and Tito went to work as the manager for his sons, who formed 3T, an R&B/pop music group. The singer only really started focusing on his solo career after 2003, and came back into the spotlight after the sudden death of his more famous brother, Michael Jackson, in 2009, even if he tried to stay away from the media and their speculations.

However, Tito performed on the soundtrack of the television series “Strictly Come Dancing” and “Dancing on Ice”, and has appeared in several television documentaries and series, including “The Nation’s Favourite ’80s Number Ones” (2015), “The Big Reunion” (2014), “Loose Women” (between 2009 and 2013), “Michael Jackson: The Inside Story-What Killed the King of Pop?” (2010), and “Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour” (2012). He was also an executive producer for the first episode of “The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty”, in 2009.

In 2012, Tito added new earnings to his net worth when he and his brothers Marlon, Jackie, and Jermaine started “The Unity Tour”, as a tribute to their dead brother Michael. For more than a year, the group toured North America, Australia, Europe and Asia, performing in over 70 shows worldwide, which grossed more than $10 million.

More recently, in 2016 Tito Jackson achieved his first solo hit with “Get It Baby,” featuring Big Daddy Kane, from his album “Tito Time”, finally becoming the ninth Jackson to score a solo single hit, and his album “Tito Time” was released later that year, including in the UK after a rather spectacular launch party.

In his personal life, Tito Jackson married Delores “Dee Dee” Martes in 1954 and the couple has three children. They divorced in 1993, one year before Delores’ murder.

Michael Joseph Jackson was born on 29 August 1958, in Gary, Indiana USA, the fifth brother and member of the singing group which became The Jackson Five, which he joined in the mid-’60s, and a future genuine super-star in his own right. He passed away in 2009.

In October 2017, for the fifth successive year Michael was named by Forbes magazine as topping the list of earning dead celebrities with $75 million. In addition to being one of the major influences on pop scene, he was also involved in acting, a source which also helped to accumulate Michael’s net worth.

Michael was born into a musical family, although his parents were amateurs only – his mother, Katherine Esther Scruse, worked as a devout Jehovah’s Witness, whereas his father, Joseph Walter “Joe” Jackson, a former boxer, worked as a steelworker at US Steel, but he also played the guitar with a local R&B group. All Michael’s older three sisters and five brothers were into music from early on in their lives.

Michael Jackson started his career as well as the accumulation of his net worth being just five years old, first as something of a novelty. In 1968 Michael appeared on the professional stage in the band called The Jackson Five  singing together with his brother, then in 1971 Michael started singing solo, after a few years he began to tour internationally. In 1979, Jackson released his ‘Off the Wall’ album which established him as a solo performer. It was the first solo album to generate four chart-topping singles in the US, and the album  subsequently sold over 20 million copies worldwide. Jackson’s net worth rose, especially as he was considered to be breaking down racial barriers and transforming the medium into an art form, with his music videos including ‘Beat It’, ‘Billie Jean’, ‘Thriller’ and many others.Through stage and video performances, Jackson disseminated a number of difficult dance techniques, as follows the robot or the moonwalk, which were named by Michael himself. His distinctive sound and style sunsequently influenced a number of hip hop, post-disco, R&B, pop and rock artists too.

Michael’s net worth rose with album after album – his sixth studio album ‘Thriller’ is thesecond best-selling album of all time, after The Beatles SGT Pepper, moreover, several other albums  including ‘Off the Wall’, ‘Bad’, ‘Dangerous’ and ‘HIStory’ are ranked among the world’s best-selling as well. Jackson has been enrolled into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame twice, as well as the Dance Hall of Fame, as his performances on stage have been lauded as perhaps the best ever by a pop singer.

Michael’s net worth increased with these achievements, which included thirteen number-one singles in the US alone in his solo career. Jackson is the winner of hundreds of awards, which makes him a legend in the history of popular music, such as multiple Guinness World Records, thirteen Grammy Awards, and a Grammy Legend Award as well as a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, twenty-six American Music Awards. In 2014, Jackson became, posthumously, the first and so far only artist in music history to have a top ten single in the Billboard Top 100 in five decades.

In his personal life, Michael Jackson married Lisa Marie Presley in 1994 but they divorced in 1996. The same year he married Deborah Jeanne Rowe, with whom he had a daughter and two sons before they divorced in 1999.

Jackson was also a philanthropist, instituting  charitable fundraising within the entertainment industry, later taken up by many other artists for a variety of causes.

An allegation of sexual abuse leveled against Jackson in 1993 was settled out of court, without any admittance of guilt, and no charges were ever laid. Further claims were dismissed as attempts at publicity and/or extortion by the claimants.

Michael Jackson died as a result of a concoction of drugs administered by his physician, Conrad Murray, apparently to help him sleep. Murray was subsequently convicted of involuntary manslaughter, and served two years in jail. Michael passed away on 25 June 2009, in Holmby Hills, California, mourned worldwide by millions of fans both at the time of his funeral and since.

Fifth Harmony, previously known as 1432 and LYLAS, is an all-girl pop group consisting of five members: Normani Kordei, Camila Cabello, Ally Brooke Hernandez, Lauren Jauregui and Dinah Jane Hansen. Those who watched the TV series “X Factor” US in 2012, might remember them as one of the three finalists.

So just how much money have Fifth Harmony accumulated, as of late 2017? Sources estimate that their current net worth is over $15 million. The group is still active, and their net worth continues to rise steadily with each year.


Fifth Harmony Net Worth $15 Million


All five girls first auditioned in the 2012 TV series “X Factor” as solo artists, but weren’t individually successful. Later, one of the judges, Simon Cowell offered them a stay in the project as a five-girl group. At first they were called LYLAS (Love You Like A Sister), but the name was already taken by another girl band. The girls decided on a new name – 1432 (which in text slang means I Love You Too), but this time the judges Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid didn’t like it. Finally, Cowell decided that the name for the group would be chosen by the viewers, and they became Fifth Harmony. During the project, the group performed famous songs by artists Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Ellie Goulding, Shontelle, Britney Spears and others. Ultimately the songs that they decided to sing in the X Factor final were “Let it Be” by The Beatles, “Give Your Heart a Break” by Demi Lovato and “Anything Could Happen” by Ellie Goulding. They subsequently won third place in X Factor 2012, and following that, signed a contract with both Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid.

In 2013, they started putting covers of famous songs on YouTube. In the same year, they released their first EP album entitled “Better Together”, which sold more than 28,000 copies during the first week. Their main single “Miss Moving On” became Gold, after selling more than 500,000 copies, and it was also nominated for a Teen Choice Award as a Choice Break-Up Song. The group then went on a tour of shopping malls throughout the US, which they called “Harmonize America”.

In 2014 Fifth Harmony announced that they were recording their first full studio album, and it was released in February 2015 under the title “Reflection”. The album was extremely successful and has become the best-selling first week girl group album since 2008, and has definitely further raised the group’s net worth. Fifth Harmony has been invited to perform in the White House twice –the first time at the Christmas Tree Lighting in 2014, the second time during Easter Egg Roll of 2015.

One of the interesting facts about Fifth Harmony is that they are a mix of ethnic groups. Three of the members – Camila Cabello, Lauren Jauregui and Ally Brooke Hernandez are of Hispanic descent, Dinah Jane Hansen is of Polynesian and Tongan descent, while Normani Kordei is of African-American, Indian and French descent. Because the larger part of Fifth Harmony is of Hispanic roots, from time to time they release songs at least partly in fluent Spanish, thus appealing to their Spanish fans as well as assisting the growth of their net worth. Camila has now left the group to pursue a solo career, but the remaining four are carrying on as a quartet.

Missy Elliott Net Worth $50 Million


Missy Elliot was raised in Portsmouth, Virginia, where her father was based in the US Marines. Being four years old, she apparently decided that she wanted to become a singer, though nobody took that thought seriously. In 1990, the girl graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School, and the same year the R&B band Fayze, was formed by Missy, also consisting of Radiah Scott, Chonita Coleman and La’Shawn Shellman . The girls attracted the attention of DeVante Swing, the producer, who helped them to sign a contract with Electra Records, and changed the title of the band to Sista. The band released several singles and studio albums, however they were not very successful, and the members decided to go their separate ways.

Missy Elliot went on to pursue a solo career; in 1997 she signed a contract with the record label The Goldmind, part of Elektra, and started working. To date, she has released 71 singles, six studio albums, 18 music videos and a compilation album. The most successful singles, which received certifications for sales, were “Sock It 2 Me” (1997) featuring Da Brat – gold certification, “Hot Boyz” (1999) featuring Lil’ Mo, Nas, Eve and Q-Tip – platinum, “Get Ur Freak On” (2001) – silver, “4 My People” (2002) featuring Eve – silver, “Work It” (2002) – gold and “Lose Control” (2005) featuring Ciara and Fatman Scoop – gold. What is more, all the studio albums received certificates for sales, and were very popular not only in US but around the world. All the albums appeared on music charts, too, and took high positions on the main chart of the USA: second for “Miss E… So Addictive” (2001) and “The Cookbook” (2005), and third for “Supa Dupa Fly” (1997) and “Under Construction” (2002). “Da Real World” (1999) reached 10th position, and “This Is Not a Test!” (2003) 13th on the same US music chart. Of course, all these recording successes contributed significantly to Missy Elliot’s net worth.

In addition, Missy Elliot has appeared in several films, including “Honey” (2003) directed by Billie Woodruff, “Fade to Black” (2004) directed by Patrick Paulson and Michael John Warren, “Just for Kicks” (2005) directed by Thibaut de Longeville and Lisa Leone. Moreover, she has appeared in episodes of various TV series, including “Family Matters” (1997), “The Road to Stardom with Missy Elliott” (2005), “My Super Sweet 16” (2008) and “What Chilli Wants” (2010) among others. All those appearances increased her wealth, too.

Recently, she has been absent from the entertainment industry; it has been reported that this is because of a hyperthyroid disorder which Missy suffers from.

In her personal life, Missy Elliot admits that she is ready to create a family, however, she doesn’t reveal anything more about her private life.
