Sharon Millette Wu was born on 23 January 1973, in Inglewood, California USA, and is an actress, screenwriter, designer, realtor, and television personality, perhaps best known for her career as a back-up dancer and rap artist. She also became a part of the first season of the TV series “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”, and all of her endeavors have helped put his net worth to where it is today.
How rich is Lisa Wu? As of mid-2016, sources estimate a net worth that is at $100,000, mostly earned through a career on television.

Lisa Wu Hartwell Net Worth $100,000
Lisa started her career as a back-up dancer, and appeared in various shows and videos. Some of the bands she’s worked with include Candyman, Public Enemy, and EPMD. Afterwards, she discovered that she had a talent for rap music, and joined the rap group 19. They were offered a recording deal but Wu declined, and decided to move away from music to pursue film. She then worked on the 2003 film entitled “Black Ball” which she wrote, produced and acted in. Her net worth was set.
She would appear in several films and do more projects in the next few years, but got her big break after she was invited onto “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” by Bravo. This was the third installment of “The Real Housewives” franchise with two other series taking place in New York and Orange County. The series follows the professional and personal lives of several women in the area. Over the years, it has become a tradition of the series to replace their main cast members, depending on their availability. She became part of the main cast for the first two seasons, and it helped boost her popularity and net worth significantly. Afterwards, she only appeared as a guest in the third season, then deciding to leave the program to continue her television and film career. The show received good reviews from critics though it has also been accused of fabricating some of its storylines, as is apparently the case for ther so-called reality television shows.
Lisa continued producing and acting, notably working with other actresses for the short film “The White Sistas”. One of her latest projects is the series “Hollywood Divas”, which focuses on the lives of five African-American actresses, giving viewers a look into their personal lives, careers, and relationships.
For her personal life, it is known that Wu married Ed Hartwell in 2005 and they have a son. However, Ed filed for divorce in 2011 and it was finalized in the same year. Aside from that, Wu has an older brother who passed away some time ago; feelings for his death resurfaced during the second season of “Real Housewives of Atlanta”, due to the fact that it was near the anniversary of her brother’s death.
