Dana Elaine Owens Wiki Biography

Born Dana Elaine Owans on 18 March 1970, in Newark, New Jersey, Queen Latifah is an American actress, model, record producer, singer, songwriter, television producer, comedian, rapper, voice actress and television presenter, who has been prominent in the entertainment industry for almost 30 years. Her stage name was selected by Dana Elaine while reading a book of Islamic names at the age of eight, and can be translated as “very kind” or “delicate”.

So just how rich is Queen Latifah, as of mid-2017? Authoritative sources have estimated that she has a net worth of over $70 million, accumulated through her several talents since appearing on stage in 1988. Notable and interesting assets include a $1.3 million home in Los Angeles, and a silver Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe car which was unveiled in 2007, the most expensive car in the Rolls-Royce line at that time with a price tag of $443,000.

Latifah was raised a Baptist but educated at a catholic school in Newark. She first appeared on stage in 1988 with other girls in a hip-hop band called “Ladies Fresh”. She was noticed by DJ King Gemini, who later recorded her first rap demo “Princess of the Posse”, found by producer Dante Ross who signed the young musician to the Tommy Boy Music label. Queen Latifah released her first song “Wrath of Madness”, and after that first small success, Latifah’s popularity started to rise, together with her net worth. To the present day, she has released seven studio albums, the last of which called “Persona” surprisingly has become almost as popular as her previous creations, so with reference to this information it can be said that Queen Latifah continues being as popular as she has always been. The last album didn’t have such a big influence on Queen Latifah’s net worth as did “Trav’lin Light” in 2007, but reached a higher position in the Top R&B and Hip-Hop albums charts.

Queen Latifah also is known for playing voice roles in such a popular movie as “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs”, and playing the main character Charlene Morton in the movie “Bringing Down the House”. To her notable appearances we can mention are Georgia Byrd in “Last Holiday”, Penny Escher in “Stranger than Fiction”, Isabelle ‘Belle’ Williams in “Taxi”, her character Motormouth Maybelle in the movie “Hairspray”, and Thelma in “The Bone Collector” in 1999.

Besides her career as an actress and musician, Queen Latifah is also a spokesperson for Curvation ladies underwear, Pizza Hut, Jenny Craig, and CoverGirl cosmetics, of which she is the owner together with the perfume line “Queen”.

In her personal life, Queen Latifah has never married, but is known to have been in relationships with Kendu Isaacs during the 1990s, Jeanette Jenkins from 2002 to 2011, and Ebony Nicholas from 2011. She currently lives in California.

Dana Elaine Owens Quick Info

Dana Elaine Owens Quotes

• I don’t want to be a supermodel. I want to be a role model.
• If my brother and I wanted money in our pockets, we had to get jobs – my first was at Burger King.
• I don’t have to really be in the 60s. Every time I hail a cab in New York, and they pass me by and pick up the white person, then I get a dose of it. Or when they don’t want to take you to Harlem. I grew up with that.
• [on being considered a role model] There’s no way I can represent for everyone. I can’t represent for all women or all big women or all black women. It’s important for people not to make celebrities their source of who they should be in life. I can’t take on the pressure of being perfect. Nobody is.
• [on moving from singing to acting] My mom taught me to never put all my eggs in one basket. I figured if I wasn’t the best rapper, then I shouldn’t completely rely on rap.
• Dreams become reality when we put our minds to it.
• It was a very vulnerable time going from being insecure about my body and who I am to becoming comfortable with me. I had to tune out what the hell everybody else had to say about who I was. When I was able to do that, I felt free.
• There are times you can’t really see or even feel how sweet life can be. Hopefully its mountains will be higher than its valleys are deep. I know things that are broken can be fixed. Take the punch if you have to, hit the canvas and then get up again. Life is worth it.
• I am not one to turn down macaroni and cheese, even late at night. I love Italian food. I love pasta…A refrigerator full of water and Gatorade? Honey, that’s just not gonna happen. -Woman’s World, 6-13-06 issue
• “I wish every woman would love herself and embrace what she was given naturally.” quoted in WOMAN’S WORLD (6-7-05)
• I’d like to have and adopt [children]. I think I’d be a great mom, honestly. I don’t think I’ll have any problem giving them all the love in the world. Discipline will be the hard part.
• I really don’t know how to be anyone else, and whenever I try to be anyone else, I fail miserably. Or I disappoint myself. It doesn’t build my self-esteem, and it doesn’t help me grow me at all.
• I’m pretty much the same but trying to be better every day. I don’t think the success has gone to my head. I don’t think I’m alienating friends or losing friends.
• I think it’s important to create projects as an actor rather than wait for them. I love being able to take an idea and sell it to a studio.
