When most people who have dreams of making it in Hollywood someday think about how it would feel to accomplish that goal, they are likely to envision receiving accolades and becoming famous. On top of that, there is another major reason why so many people want to become movie stars, they know that stars who headline blockbusters get paid a fortune. After all, headlines focused on the huge paycheques movie stars receive pop up all of the time, and each year lists of the highest-paid movie stars that are published.
Over the last few decades, it has seemed like the world is in the midst of a golden age of television that shows no signs of slowing down. With that in mind, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that the powers that be in the entertainment business are willing to pay TV stars a huge amount of money as well. Despite that, a lot of people seem to have no idea that the highest-paid TV stars make so much money. With that in mind, fans of Wendy Raquel Robinson are left with one question since she mainly is a TV star, how much is she really worth?
Some Financial Setbacks Hurt Wendy's Net Worth
Whenever Wendy Raquel Robinson appears on the big or little screen, she comes across as supremely talented and incredibly strong-willed. Given everything that Robinson has going for her, it certainly seems like just about everything in her life and career should go her way. Of course, Robinson is a human being just like everyone else so, in reality, she was bound to suffer some setbacks in life. Sadly, a couple of the financial setbacks that Robinson has suffered were quite serious.
In 2003, Wendy Raquel Robinson and a man named Marco Perkins tied the knot. Unfortunately, after many years together, Robinson and Perkins weren’t able to make things work and they wound up deciding to divorce in 2018. According to a 2018 TMZ report, Perkins would allege in court documents that Robinson “left him destitute after he had a stroke back in 2015”. Additionally, Perkins claimed that he got used to a lavish lifestyle while he was married to Robinson. As a result, Perkins asked the court to have Robinson pay him $10,000 a month in alimony. Of course, that number pales in comparison to the costliest celebrity divorces but that is still a lot of money.
Since TMZ’s initial report about Marco Perkins’ alimony request, he and Wendy Raquel Robinson have seemingly finalized their divorce. As of the time of this writing, there is no way to know if Perkins was awarded $10,000 in monthly alimony as he requested. Still, that seems entirely possible and even if he was awarded a portion of that number, it would still be a notable hit to Robinson’s finances.
Sadly for Wendy Raquel Robinson, she suffered a tragedy that was emotionally and financially devastating for her. While talking to Kym Whitley, Luenell, and Jess Hilarious for a 2020 video that was posted on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN YouTube channel, Robinson revealed that she had a home that was destroyed by a fire. “You remember when I was talking about my fire? Y’all know, I went through a fire and I lost everything and damn near my mind.” Fortunately for Robinson, in that video, she goes on to detail how the fire made her reassess her priorities. Even though that is wonderful, Robinson’s fire clearly had a hugely detrimental effect on her finances that would still be affecting her to this day.
Wendy’s Net Worth Is $4 Million
Fortunately for Wendy Raquel Robinson, no matter how bad some of her financial setbacks were, she always had her acting career going for her. After all, Robinson is an incredibly talented actor, she is gorgeous, and she carries herself with a great deal of charisma. As a result, she has continued to find steady work in one of the most competitive industries in the world.
Of course, Wendy Raquel Robinson’s greatest claims to fame are her tenures starring in The Steve Harvey Show and The Game. That said, Robinson has landed notable roles in a long list of shows including Baby Blues, All of Us, Here We Go Again, Dear White People, Grand Hotel, and the severely underrated sitcom, The Mayor. On top of that, Robinson has popped up in several movies and other TV shows.
As a result of her celebrated career, Robinson has more than recovered from her financial setbacks. In fact, according to celebritynetworth.com, Robinson has a $4 million net worth as of that writing. Even though that kind of money is completely unattainable for most people, Robinson is so talented that it is easy to argue that she should be wealthier than that. After all, it doesn’t seem right that another TV star like Johnny Galecki has so much more money to spend than Robinson
