How Did Lisa Wu make their money & wealth

Lisa was born on January 23, 1973, in California. She was born to an African father and a Chinese mother. Lisa has three brothers and sisters who grew up with her in Inglewood, which is a suburb of Los Angeles California. Before she got on to the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Lisa performed as a backup dancer for various rap groups such as Public Enemy. She toured with the artists and even opened shows for some of them.

Lisa actually joined a rap group herself called 19. That group ended up getting studio sessions with various executives from music labels. Instead of taking a record deal that was offered to them, Lisa ended up in a different direction. She found the church.

She may have left the entertainment industry, but it didn’t leave her. When she wrote a gospel stage play called A Change Is Gon’ Come, it ended up being directed by then unknown Tyler Perry. She hosted and produced a show called the industry which ended up airing on UPN. Lisa worked on an independent movie called Blackball in 2003, which she starred in, wrote and produced.

Lisa was one of the original stars of the real housewives of Atlanta. She had a starring role in seasons one and two and ended up being a guest on season three. She was described in a Jezebel article at the time as the “sensible” one of the Housewives. Fans of the show knew Lisa to be an entrepreneur who had her own lines of clothing, baby items, and jewelry. She also was a real estate professional. During the course of the show, Lisa Wu ended up filing for bankruptcy as a result of a lawsuit by her first ex-husband, Keith Sweat. That lawsuit was over Keith’s financing of the movie Blackball. He gave her a loan of $150,000, and that was an investment that he wanted back.

Lisa Wu did not stop being in the entertainment industry after her departure from Real Housewives of Atlanta. She has kept her entrepreneurial spirit. She helped to write a work of fiction called When The Cake is Made. That book was released on November 1st, 2010. It is still available in a Kindle format. The book has 4.1 stars on both Goodreads and Amazon, which is pretty impressive for a previously unpublished author. She has two more writing projects on the way – a children’s book series called Sydney’s Adventures, as well as a self-help book called “Evolve.” In the latter, Lisa draws on her own experiences and life trials to advise others.

In addition, Lisa has reinstituted her acting career. She’s appeared in a number of different movies such as Envy or Greed, Must be the Music, First Impressions, and At Mamu’s Feet. Most notably, Lisa was in The Internship with Vince Vaughn, and Meet the Browns with Owen Wilson. According to her IMDB account, Lisa has a couple projects in post-production as well. With her personality, she will easily keep herself busy.
