Lisa Bonet Wiki Biography

Lisa Michelle Bonet is an American actress and film director, born on 16 November 1967 in San Francisco, California of African-American and Jewish decent, She is still probably best known for her role in the legendary 1980s sitcom “The Cosby Show”, although her career has now spanned over 30 years.

So just how rich is Lisa Bonet, as of early 2017? Authoritative sources estimate that her current net worth is over $10 million, earned primarily by appearing in popular TV series and movies.

Bonet became interested in acting at an early age, and as a child she was already landing small roles in various television shows. She graduated from the North Hollywood Celluloid Actor’s Studio where she majored in acting, after which her big breakthrough was being cast in the role of Denise Huxtable Kendall in “The Cosby Show” in 1987. Becoming a recognizable face all over the world increased Lisa Bonet’s net worth, and her marketability. She appeared in the show’s spin-off “A Different World”, thus leaving “The Cosby Show” for a while, and for her role in the show she received an Emmy Award nomination.

Concurrently in 1987, Lisa Bonet starred alongside Mickey Rourke in the movie “Angel Heart”, which was also popular, and she became more recognised outside of the world of television. One year later she appeared in a supporting role in “Enemy of the State”, and her other notable appearances have been in the movies “High Fidelity”, “Whitepaddy”, and “Biker Boyz” in which she played the character Queenie. Her latest works are in the role of Maya Daniels in the US TV show “Life on Mars”, broadcast by the ABC, plus in the TV series “Girls” and “Ray Donovan” in 2016.

The star’s personal life is just as talked-about as her acting career. In 1992, Bonet decided to legally change her name to Lilakoi Moon, although professionally she is still known as Lisa Bonet. Her relationship with famous musician Lenny Kravitz was often discussed in the tabloids; the couple married in Las Vegas in 1987 after two years of dating, but divorced six years later – they have a daughter. 2005 saw the beginning of her relationship with actor Jason Momoa who became her husband in 2007. At age 39 Lisa Bonet gave birth to her second daughter, followed by a son in 2008. Lisa currently lives in Los Angeles with all her children, in a home she purchased for a million dollars in 1998.
