Shamari DeVoe Net Worth 2022: What Does The Newcomer To “RHOA” Make

Shamari DeVoe has a new lineup for season 11 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Eva Marcille was elevated from friend to major character and former R&B diva Shamari DeVoe was recruited to the cast after Sheree Whitfield and Kenya Moore left RHOA last season.

The Housewives allegedly received pay raises in season 11 with Sheree and Kenya absent. As a result, Shamari DeVoe’s projected net worth of $4.0 million in 2018 should increase.

Shamari Bargained for a Greater RHOA Salary

Shamari Fears, a 38-year-old native of Detroit, Michigan, was born on February 22, 1980. When she was a senior in high school, she and her family relocated to Atlanta, Georgia.

At the conclusion of season 10, Kenya Moore and Sheree Whitfield declared their retirement from RHOA. Eva Marcille and Shamari DeVoe were cast by Bravo to fill the hole they left starting in season 11.

Bravo seems to have a sizable amount of money remaining in their budget with two heavyweights out of the show. As a result, the new RHOA cast received some hefty pay increases.

NeNe Leakes and Kandi Burruss, two returning Housewives, are reportedly making more than $2.0 million this season. Likewise, sources claim that fellow veterans Cynthia Bailey and Porsha Williams make $1.75 million and $1.25 million in annual pay, respectively.

According to reports, newcomers Shamari and Eva are each making $250,000 in their first season as key cast members. According to reports, that is more money than some of the franchise’s stars received for their film debuts.

Ronnie DeVoe of New Edition is her husband

On March 10, 2006, Shamari wed Ronnie DeVoe, who is most known for being a part of the illustrious R&B group New Edition.

In 2017, more than ten years after being married, they welcomed twin boys, Ronald III and Roman Elijah.

Ronnie DeVoe has accumulated an estimated net worth of $500,000 throughout the course of his musical career. This sum might appear insignificant in light of Ronnie’s successful musical career.

Prior to Johnny Gill, Ronnie was the second-to-last member of New Edition to join. In the late 1980s, after the group took a break, he and his ex-bandmates Ricky Bell and Michael Bivins founded BBD (Bell Biv DeVoe).

Poison by BBD, released in 1990, sold five million records and featured five top singles. The platinum-certified hit sold almost $4.0 million worth of copies.

Shamari also appeared in a BBD album. The sales of BBD’s succeeding albums, however, never exceeded $500,000.

DeVoe got back together with the original New Edition members. Their double-platinum comeback album, Home Again, from 1996 brought in an estimated $2.1 million in sales. He continues to perform with them.

She belongs to the R&B group Blaque

Shamari Fears has a history in R&B. She played in the 1990s duo Blaque, which also included Brandi Williams and the late Natina Reed.

Blaque, their debut album, sold over a million copies and earned platinum certification. From 2002 to 2007, the group took a break after seeing only modest success.

Shamari joined Darkchild Records in 2005 during the hiatus, however, she hasn’t yet put out any solo music.

Blaque was planning a reunion in 2012. They were negotiating for a reality show and a new record. The terrible death of Natina Reed in October 2012 derailed the preparations, though.

It was said that Blaque had formally broken up after Reed’s passing.

According to Shamari’s Instagram, Brandi Williams and the new reality star are working together to perform and honor Reed.

She Has Several Businesses

Since Blaque’s absence more than ten years ago, Shamari hasn’t put out any new music. Instead, she gave acting a shot.

She and the other members of Blaque appeared as cheerleaders alongside Gabrielle Union and Kirsten Dunst in the 2000 film Bring It On. The quartet also recorded the soundtrack for the film.

She portrayed herself in Honey, a Jessica Alba movie (2003). “I’m Good,” a song by Blaque that was recorded for the movie.

Shamari has appeared in music videos for Ludacris and Lil Kim as well.

The devices currently manage businesses outside of show business. Ronnie is a co-owner of the Atlanta-based real estate company DeVoe Broker Associates, while Shamari is the proprietor of the Zen Massage Center.

Shamari and Ronnie DeVoe host Married 4 Life programs across the nation as what they call “Marriage Ambassadors.” Through counseling, the retreats assist married couples in improving their relationships.

Shamari’s popularity on Instagram has increased since she was cast in RHOA. She is making between $370.00 and $600.00 every post with more than 142K followers. Her Instagram revenues should increase even further as new endorsements come in.

Watch Real Housewives of Atlanta season 11 on Bravo on Sundays at 8:00 p.m. EST to see whether Shamari DeVoe stirs up any controversy.
