With the upcoming Spider-Man: Far From Home expected to be a summer blockbuster - it hits theaters July 5 - its star Zendaya will no doubt add to not only her fame, but to her already sizable bankroll that's hovering around $5 million right now.
The actress and singer is currently worth about $5 million, according to reports, and considering Entity magazine put her around $4.5 million a couple years ago, that sounds about on par. That's in part thanks to her entertainment beginnings as a child model-and-backup-dancer-turned-Disney Channel star - she appeared in Shake It Up from 2010 to 2013 and starred in and produced K.C. Undercover from 2015 to 2018. Her success as a recording artist, her 2013 stint on Dancing With the Stars, and her book, Between U and Me: How to Rock Your Tween Years With Style and Confidence, are also to thank for her financial success.

The actress told a reporter for Fast Company about an exercise she does with her family when they watch TV — a rare occurrence — to measure gender disparity on screen.
After the group views a a commercial — like a recent Adidas spot that showed athletes, models, and DJs discussing what was cool around a table — Witherspoon will press pause and say to her kids, “What did you see?”

Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine is developing its first feature-length documentary about tennis legend Martina Navratilova in partnership with Glenn Greenwald and Suzanne Gilbert.
The documentary will explore Navratilova’s achievements as a social justice pioneer told through Greenwald’s personal lens as a gay child growing up in Reagan-era Florida. The documentary will examine Navratilova’s impact on him as his childhood hero, how people find role models, and what people seek when they feel isolated, judged, or cast aside by society.
“The issues raised by Martina’s legacy resonate now more than ever, which is why it’s so important to tell her story to new generations of engaged young people who may not be aware of the vital role she played in shaping expectations around female identity and Lgbt equality,” said Charlotte Koh, head of digital media and programming for Hello Sunshine.
Koh is also producing the project.
