A recent viral TikTok features an audio clip of Zendaya reacting to a Google search for her own net worth, which is listed as $1.5 million at the time of the video's creation. In the nine-second video — prompted by TikTok's AI voice saying "remember when Zendaya Googled her own net worth" — Zendaya quips that she doesn't quite know the exact number, as a search finds one website listing her net worth at $1.5 million. If Zendaya didn't know the exact number at that time, she at least knew the baseline, because she immediately takes issue with $1.5 million.
"Girl, I'm worth more than that, I can tell you that [right now]," she says in the video.
It's hard to tell exactly where or when this audio originates from — the short video clip of Zendaya used is from her May 2019 appearance on Vogue's "73 Questions with Zendaya" video, but she does not address her net worth in that interview. The audio is from a separate interview entirely, and given more recent estimates of Zendaya's net worth, the clip is likely a few years old.
Despite the fact that Zendaya knows she's worth millions, she told Vogue in 2021 that she does not like spending money on herself and will always feel a need to keep working to make sure she stays financially solid. Given the amount of money she appears to make, that shouldn't be a problem as long as she remains financially savvy.
