How one of Hollywood's best-paid actresses, Regina King, keeps her $16 million net worth

Regina King started working in Hollywood when she was very young, but she doesn’t fit the typical image of a “child actress.”

As Brenda Jenkins on the hit comedy show “227,” King won the hearts of everyone who watched during prime time. They were amazed as her career kept growing, thriving, and changing along with her. At the end of her acting career, she won an Oscar for her part in “If Beale Street Could Talk.”

And, as AfroTech has said, she also made history by being the first Black woman to direct a film that was shown at the Venice Film Festival.

Regina King has also shown that she is a strong director since then. King’s $16 million net worth is entirely the result of her work as the executive producer and director of “One Night in Miami,” as well as directing episodes of popular TV dramas like “This Is Us” and “Shameless” (according to Celebrity Net Worth). She is also one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses, and she has the same number of Emmys as Alfre Woodard.

We love a queen who doesn’t have any problems, gets paid, and stays out of the paparazzi’s way.

Let’s look at all the ways Regina King is the queen of Hollywood.
