According to sources, it is estimated that the total amount of Rain Pryor’s net worth, as of early 2017, is over $5 million, acquired through her abundant performing career which has been active since 1988.
Rain was born to Shelley R. Bonus, a writer and Richard Pryor, a stand-up comedian and actor with over 20 studio albums and more than 55 acting credits. After the divorce of her parents at her age of two, she was raised by her mother under the strong influence of her Jewish ancestry. Rain attended Beverly Hills High School from which she matriculated in 1987. As an actress she debuted right after high school – in 1988 she appeared as Theola June Jones – “T.J.” – in ABC’s sitcom “Head of the Class”. It was followed by an appearances in “Blackbird Fly”, a 1991 short movie, and in one episode of the “Chicago Hope” TV series in 1995. These engagements provided the basis for her net worth.
During 1998 and 1999, Rain starred as the lipstick-lesbian and drug addict Jackie Garcia in 30 episodes of Showtime TV’s comedy series “Rude Awakening”. In her later acting career, she recorded over a dozen acting credits of which the most memorable have been appearances in “Angels!” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” movies, both in 2000.
However, the role of T.J. is still considered as her most notable role so far, and it is certain that it helped Rain to establish herself in the world of acting as well as to earn a respectable amount of money.
In 2004, Rain Pryor launched her own solo show in which she retrospects the late 1960s and early 1970s racism, focusing on her multicultural heritage of being black and Jewish. Produced, performed and created entirely by Rain, the show was honored with a Los Angeles Times’ Critics Choice, NAACP Theatre as well as Invisible Theatre’s Goldie Klein Awards. The show’s popularity with audiences has helped Rain Pryor to dramatically increase her overall net worth by a large margin, as it is the main source of her revenues.
Apart from all those mentioned above, Rain Pryor has appeared in several popular TV shows including “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”, “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” and “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson”.

Rain is also an author and a blues and jazz vocalist – she published the book “Jokes My Father Never Taught Me: Life, Love and Loss with Richard Pryor” in 2006, and in 2012 she released her eponymously named live album “Rain Pryor Live”.
