Ayesha Curry Net Worth $16 Million
One of five children born to John and Carol Alexander, Ayesha is of mixed ancestry as her mother is of Afro- and Chinese-Jamaican ancestry, while her father is of Polish and African American heritage. She lived in Toronto until she was 14 when the family moved to Charlotte, North Carolina. She had actually started her career at aged 12, when she featured in the music video “Too Young for Love” performed by Suga Prince, who is now known as Sevn Thomas. She continued her career with her acting debut in the role of Cassie Stevens in the television film “Dan’s Detour of life” in 2008, and the same year was chosen for the part of Keeley Hawkins in the TV drama series “Whittaker Bay”, which firmly established her net worth. Unfortunately, she didn’t have much luck in the following years as an actress, securing only minor roles in such TV series as “Hannah Montana” and “Gary Unmarried” in 2009, and “Good Luck Charlie” (2010), among others. Most recently, she was chosen as the voice of Fondue Woman in the animated film “Charming”, scheduled for release late in 2018.
However, after marrying Stephen Curry, Ayesha became more focused on a career as a cook, and in 2011 started her own blog and later YouTube channel, Little Lights of Mine, on which she now has over 500,000 subscribers. On her channel, she presents her cooking skills and has attracted a total of 28 million views, which has also contributed to her net worth. She also launched a company under the same name, with its own brand of extra virgin olive oil. Since starting her own channel, Ayesha has become a popular cook, and featured in several shows, including “Rachel Ray” in 2015, but also started her own show “Ayesha’s Homemade” (2016-2017), and in 2017 featured in the popular cooking show “The Great Holiday Baking Show” (2017). Furthermore, she worked with Michael Mina, and has written a cookbook entitled The Seasoned Life”, the sales of which have increased her net worth too.
When it comes to her personal life, Ayesha met Stephen Curry in a church youth group in Charlotte; Stephen was 15 years old and Ayesha a year younger, having just moved to the USA from Toronto. The couple eventually married in 2011, and now have two children; the Curry family resides in Alamo, California.
Ayesha is also a well-known philanthropist; aside from serving as a spokesperson for CoverGirl, a certain amount of profit from the sales of extra virgin oil, produced by her company, goes to charity No Kid Hungry.
