Skai Jackson Since Disney Channel: Net Worth, Charities, Acting

We know it seems like just yesterday, but it’s actually been several years since we first welcomed Skai Jackson into our hearts and homes via Disney Channel. The actress starred in several of our favorite series, but after she took on the role of Zuri Ross on Jessie, she quickly became a huge Disney Channel star.

Once Jessie wrapped in 2015, the young starlet went on to star in yet another Disney Channel show called BUNK’D. She got to play the same iconic character she’d been playing on Jessie for the four years prior. Obviously, fans had plenty of time to get attached to Skai, since she appeared on their TVs so often.

These days, it seems like she put her Disney days behind her and moved on to some other fun projects. Although Skai is no stranger to being in the spotlight, she admitted she exercises caution when it comes to making her personal life more public through social media.

“There’s a little bit of pressure with that. At the end of the day, I share as much as I can. You can’t share everything about yourself and your life with everyone,” Skai previously explained to Lady Gunn. “Be aware of online and in real life. Everything from a photo to what you say, how you say it, all of that. I like to use it [social media] to share with people and talk to my fans, but I’ve learned that it can be a little scary when it’s your life and your business out there.”

The Staten Island native noted “most” of her social circle is not in the “acting business,” so her life in the spotlight can seem “weird” to them. “They think it’s strange,” Skai said about getting photographed by paparazzi while out. “They just know me as me. They’re all behind me, especially my family.”

As Skai grows into a young adult, she’s eager to explore more aspects of her career. “Now that I’m getting older, I want to start trying new things,” she acknowledged. “I know that besides acting in different roles and trying different genres, like drama, I want to achieve something in the fashion business. Directing and producing in the future would be really interesting and challenging too.”

She Does A Lot of Charity Work

When she’s not acting, Skai is a big philanthropist. In the past, she’s visited sick children in the hospital, walked in a fashion show to benefit The American Heart Association and even spoke at a school for an organization called No Kid Hungry.

The actress opened up to Teen Vogue about No Kid Hungry, saying, “I’ve been wanting to get involved with a charity, so when I learned about No Kid Hungry, I knew I wanted to help raise awareness about this important issue. It’s crazy that millions of kids in the world are hungry. All kids should be able to have healthy food to eat and should not have to worry about when their next meal will be.”

She’s Done Some Traveling

If you follow the former Disney Channel star on social media, you know that she went on a big trip to Thailand. The best part? She documented the entire trip on YouTube for her fans to see!

Skai started her channel around four months ago, and it’s cool to get a behind-the-scenes look at what her life has been like since starring on Disney Channel. Plus, we live for a good travel vlog and Thailand looked amazing.

She Was Cast In A TV show On FOX

ICYMI, Skai was on a show called Culture Clash, and the pilot episode aired toward the end of 2018. The actress took on the role of Aisha. Although there isn’t a ton of info about the show or whether it will ever pick back up, it was a pretty big deal for Skai since it was a departure from the Disney Channel projects she’d been working on for years.

The show also starred Beth Behrs from Two Broke Girls.

She Voiced A Character In ‘Marvel Rising.’

Are you familiar with Marvel Rising? It’s a series of animated shorts that includes many favorite Marvel characters, like Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, Squirrel Girl and more. The best part? Several of the characters have been voiced by some of your all-time fave celebs — Skai included.

That’s right! Skai voiced Gloria Grant for two episodes of Marvel Rising: Initiation, and voiced the same character again for Marvel Rising: Chasing Ghosts. How fun is that?!

She Has A Hefty Net Worth

Since she’s been acting for most of her life, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that her estimated net worth is $500,000, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Plus, she’s showing no signs of slowing down, so something tells us her bank account is only going to grow from here. Way to go, Skai!

She’s Into Fashion

As we mentioned earlier, the Jessie star walked the runway at a fashion show for The American Heart Association.

These days, it seems like the actress is always slaying on a red carpet. Plus, she’s attended several Fashion Week events in the past. Not to mention, we’re pretty jealous of all her amazing outfits. Her sense of style is really incredible, and we can’t wait to see what other iconic looks she has planned for the future.
