David Khari Webber Chappelle was born on 24 August 1973, in Washington, D.C. USA, and is an actor, comedian, film and television producer, as well as a screenwriter. Despite his many acting roles in a variety of television series and films, Dave Chappelle is widely recognized for his comedy sketch television series called “Chappelle’s Show” that premiered in 2003. Chappelle, who was a co-creator and one of the main stars on the show, managed to turn “Chappelle’s Show” into a national success.

So just how rich is Dave Chappelle, as of mid-2016 now? Authoritative sources estimate that Dave’s net worth is over $10 million, although Chappelle managed to earn as much as $12 million in 2005, while in 2006 his annual salary amounted to $22 million, so the estimate may be understated somewhat. Most of his wealth comes from his involvement in the entertainment industry, which began in the early ’90s.

Dave Chappelle was born to parents both engaged in academia. He spent most of his childhood in Silver Spring, Maryland, where he studied at Woodlin Elementary School and then continued his education at Duke Ellington School of the Arts. Soon Chappelle moved out to New York in order to pursue a career as a stand-up comedian, which began with a somewhat unsuccessful performance at the Apollo Theatre, and was followed by many attempts at securing a name for himself among the many comedians in New York at that time.

However, Chappelle’s determination resulted in a first film role in 1993; Chappelle debuted in the movie directed by Mel Brooks called “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”, starring alongside Cary Elwes and Richard Lewis. This role in particular opened many opportunities for Dave, who now not only focused on stand-up comedy, but movie appearances as well, so a year later, Chappelle was featured in a comedy film directed by Doug Liman, “Getting In”. Around the same time, Chappelle starred in several pilots for various television series, yet none of them were picked by networks. In 1996, Chappelle starred alongside his inspiration for pursuing comedy, Eddie Murphy in the movie “The Nutty Professor”, and several years later he co-created and starred in a stoner comedy movie “Half Baked”. Considered to be among the classic stoner films, “Half Baked” grossed over $17 million at the box office and was also a major contributor to Dave Chappelle’s net worth.

Despite the fact that Dave Chappelle has been a star in many television series and films, he is mostly recognized for his breakthrough series “Chappelle’s Show”. Listed at #31 among the “Top 100 TV Shows”, “Chappelle’s Show” is still considered to be Chappelle’s best and most successful project. The show that featured guest appearances from DMX, Kanye West, Eddie Griffin, Snoop Dogg and many more, enjoyed success for three seasons, and aired a total of 28 episodes.

Currently, Dave Chappelle is focusing on his stand-up comedy performances, and even took part in a festival called “Oddball Comedy & Curiosity” in 2013, as well as headlined a comedy duo called “Flight of the Conchords”.

In his personal life, Dave has been married to Elaine since 2001, and live they in Xenia, Ohio, where they also own other property. Dave converted to Islam in 1988, and contributes to the Seeds of Peace International Camp, in Otisfield, Maine, which unites American, Israeli, Palestinian, and Iraqi children among others from conflicting nations.

At that time, she decided to take vocal and modern ballet classes. After finishing high school, Cassie continued learning in New York’s “Broadway Dance Centre” as well as further pursuing her modelling career.

Anthony Criss was born on the 2nd December 1970, in East Orange, New Jersey USA. He is an actor, but perhaps better known as rapper and a member of the hip hop band Naughty by Nature under his professional name Treach. He has been accumulating his net worth while being active in the world of show business since 1988.

How much is the Treach’s net worth? Reportedly, his wealth stands at $2 million, accumulated during his career of nearly 30 years in the entertainment industry.


Treach Net Worth $2 Million


The band Naughty by Nature was formed in 1988 by three members including Treach, Vin Rock and DJ Kay Gee. The band debuted with the album “Independent Leaders” (1989) released under the MCA Records label, although it was not successful. The album which introduced them to a wider audience and made them recognized was the studio album released under the same name as the band “Naughty by Nature” (1991). The album peaked in 10th position of the Billboard Top R&B chart, and was certified platinum according to sales in the USA. More, it contained two outstanding singles, “O.P.P.” (1991) and “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” (1991). The first became double platinum and topped the Billboard Top R&B. “O.P.P.” (1991) is named one of the top rap singles of all time, and is usually mentioned in various films and television series, to give examples “The Office”, “My Wife and Kids”, “Malibu’s Most Wanted”, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and others. These early years laid a solid foundation to Treach’s net worth.

As a result of the success of the above mentioned singles and album, the band Naughty By Nature won an American Music Award in the category of the Favourite New Artist – Rap / Hip-Hop. Their second studio album “19 Naughty III” (1993) topped the charts and was certified platinum. More, it contained the platinum single “Hip Hop Hooray” (1993). It should be noted that the singles “O.P.P.” and “Hip Hop Hooray” were nominated for Grammy Awards. In 1995, the hip hop band released the Grammy Award-winning album “Poverty’s Paradise” which, needless to say, topped the chart. The albums “Poverty’s Paradise” (1995) and “Nineteen Naughty Nine: Nature’s Fury” (1999) were certified gold. These successes also contributed significantly to Treach’s net worth

Due to many disagreements in the band Kay Gee left it which resulted in them losing their charm. Even though they reunited to perform several concerts, and later released several albums, they couldn’t reach their previous success. However, hip hop music is a significant source of Treach’s net worth.

Another source of Treach’s net worth is acting. He debuted as an actor in 1992, landing a small role in the film “Juice” directed by Ernest R. Dickerson. Later, he starred in the romantic drama “Jason’s Lyric” (1994) directed by Doug McHenry, the drama film “First Time Felon” (1997) directed by Charles S. Dutton, the gangster film “Empire” (2002) directed by Franc. Reyes, the sports comedy film “Playas Ball” (2003) directed by Jennifer Harper, the science fiction film “Atlantic Rim” (2013) directed by Jared Cohn among others. More, he landed a number of roles on television; currently, he might be seen in the third season series of “Sleepy Hollow” (2012–present).

Finally, in the personal life of Treach, he married the hip hop artist Sandra Denton in 1998; they have a daughter, but divorced in 2001. Treach’s subsequently partner since 2008 is Cicely Evans, with whom he starred in the television series “Couples Therapy” (2014), and they have two children.

Jackson won the above mentioned contest in 1964 and signed a contract with MGM Records in 1970. However, she had to wait until 1972 for the release of her debut album “Millie Jackson”, which peaked at the No. 166 on the Billboard Top Soul Albums chart with singles “A Child of God (It’s Hard to Believe)”, “My Man, A Sweet Man”, “Ask Me What You Want”, and “I Miss You Baby”.

Jackson later signed a deal with New York-based Spring Records in 1973, and released her second album called “It Hurts So Good” that reached the No. 13 on the Billboard Top Soul Albums. The “Caught Up” (1974) was her first gold-certified release, while bigger commercial success came with the album “Feelin’ Bitchy” in 1977, which achieved the golden status, reaching No. 4 place on the Billboard Top Soul Albums, and No. 34 on Billboard Pop Albums, which only increased her net worth.

By the end of the ‘70s, Millie had released four more notable albums: “Get It Out’cha System” (1978), “A Moment’s Pleasure” (1979), “Royal Rappin’s” (1979) with Isaac Hayes, and “Live & Uncensored” (1979). The “E.S.P. (Extra Sexual Persuasion)” in 1983 was the last album released under Spring Records, and the music critic Robert Christgau gave the album a “B-“. Millie then signed a deal with Jive Records in 1985, and released “An Imitation of Love” in 1986. The album peaked at the No. 16 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and No. 119 on the Billboard 200 chart. She ended the 80’s with “Back to the S**t!” in 1989, which was famous for its cover, featuring Jackson sitting on a toilet with a pair of panties on her ankles.

Millie’s career slowed down in the ‘90s, and although she released five more albums, they were relatively unnoticed and commercial failures. She was under contract with Ichiban Records from 1993 to 1997 and has been with Weird Wreckuds since 2000. In 2001, Jackson’s latest studio album called “Not for Church Folk!” came out, but like its predecessors in the ‘90s, it wasn’t a popular one.
In June 2015, Millie was inducted into the Official Rhythm & Blues Music Hall of Fame in Clarksdale, Mississippi.

Regarding her personal life, Millie Jackson has a daughter Keisha Jackson (father unknown to the public) , an R&B singer and backup singer with Erykah Badu‘s band, and a son Jerroll.
