Net Worth 2023:

Early Life:

Willow Camille Reign Smith came into this world on Halloween night in the year 2000, born to her parent world-famous actors Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. Willow lived in Hollywood from her earliest days where she grew up alongside her older brother Jaden Smith and her half-brother Trey Smith.

Her family name meant that she and her brothers would grow up under a humongous spotlight and one that took them a very long time to learn how to adjust to.

During an episode of the talk show Red Table Talk series that Willow hosts with her mother Jada, Willow revealed that she and her brother felt shunned by the American community as children for the perception of growing up too weird. Now, what exactly is he referring to well it probably has something to do with sensational headlines the media produced when either Willow or Jaden experimented with their gender-bending fashion sense.

Willow is of the impression that this expression of style never sat right with more conventional folk and what is usually considered to be black culture. Then there was also the speculation about her sexuality when she was no older than a kid.

She later officially came out as bisexual on the “Red Table Talk” stating “I Love M#n and Wom#n Equally”. All in all, there was almost absolutely nothing normal about the childhood of Willow, to begin with.

Then she went and got involved in the film industry at only seven years old. Her older brother Jaden Smith is an actor while her half-brother Trey Smith is a DJ and an actor. Upon her elementary education, she attended New Village Leadership Academy in Calabasas, California. While growing up in Los Angeles, Willow Smith attended Sierra Canyon School.

Soon after she was popping up in other films such as it Kittredge: An American Girl, and then made her debut as a voice actor providing vocals like a young Gloria in the film Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa, the following year.

After that run of three films, Willow was more or less than an actress she even went so far as to turn down the role of Annie in a new version of the classical music that her father was producing. Instead, she chose to focus on something that she was more passionate about, music.

Her very first single was titled “Whip My Hair” and she released it at the age of only nine years old. The song turned into a gigantic hit not only going to Platinum but also reaching the number 11 spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

In the next years, Willow Smith released her debut studio album, Ardipithecus, on December 11, 2015. The album contains singles including Drugz, and Why Don’t You Cry. However, the first project was not successful and received poor reviews from critics.

She also found herself on the “Greatest Pop Stars of 2021” list, being named the ‘Comeback Artist of the Year’ by Billboard.

Issues:

It was actually during this world tour that Willow would teach her father a very important lesson about parenting. At the time her father Will Smith couldn’t have been prouder of the job he was doing with his kids. Here was his barely 10 years old daughter performing alongside one of the biggest acts in the world and selling millions of copies of her music.

One night after Willow performed on stage in Dublin, everything changed, Willow finished a song and then instead of continuing walked off the stage to find her father and said to him “Thank You, Daddy, I Am Finished”.

At first, Willow had no idea what his father meant so he proceeded to remind her that she wasn’t done performing and that people in the audience were expecting her to go back out there. Willow then asked Will “It Doesn’t Matter To You That I’M Done, Daddy”.

Then a few days later Willo came down to the breakfast table with her head shaved bald. That’s when Will realized that he had disregarded his own daughter’s emotions when she told them that she was finished singing.

Willow later provided her perspective on the experience when she revealed on an episode of The Red Table Talk that she felt as if Will had been too harsh on her early on in her life. That this disregard for emotions would later adversely impact her relationship with him.

Over the years Willow has been able to reconcile with her parents and discovered more about whom she wants to be. One of the first things Willow discovered as a teenager is that she always enjoyed punk rock music. As a teen Willow fell in love with bands like “My Chemical Romance” and “Blink-182”.
