Amber Riley is one of the most recognizable stars that came from "Glee" today.
Aside from Lea Michele and Darren Criss, Riley was one of the biggest stars that came out from the hit Fox musical dramedy "Glee."
Playing the sassy, soulful diva Mercedes Jones on the show's six seasons, Riley has proven that she could go anywhere with her iconic and big voice of hers.
Riley was reported to have auditioned for Americal Idol back before "Glee" was even conceptualized, but, despite her powerful vocals, he got turned away by Simon Cowell, who she famously sang to and proved years after his loss at the time.
Ever since Riley graduated from "Glee," she has gone on to become a successful singer and actress.
Like Michele, who scored her dream role in the show Fanny Brice on "Funny Girl," Riley also got her role of a lifetime, Effie White, on "Dreamgirls." She won a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical in the West End for that role in 2017.
In 2013, when she was still doing "Glee," she also went on to win the 17th season of "Dancing With The Stars." Yesterday, Riley once again proved that she is unstoppable as she managed to win the eighth season of "The Masked Singer."
With all of her success, fans have been wondering - how much is Amber Riley's net worth?
