Soleil Moon Frye's Net Worth: How Much Does The Punky Brewster Actress Make?
In January 2021, Soleil Moon Frye announced that Punky Brewster was returning with a reboot that will air on the streaming platform Peacock, per Instagram. Of course, this is a special endeavor for Frye, who played the show's title character as a child. It's also a great business opportunity for her, especially during the pandemic when entertainment jobs are not as prevalent as they once were.
Even so, Frye has a nest egg to fall back on from her decades in the business. She played Melissa Joan Hart's friend Roxie on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. She used her voice to play many animated characters, including playing Punky Brewster on the cartoon Robot Chicken. She voiced Zoey Howzer on the Disney series The Proud Family, and played a main character in the Bratz animated series and for the franchise's movies.
In addition to acting, Frye directed the 2004 documentary Sonny Boy, which was about her relationship with her father, Virgil Frye, who had Alzheimer's disease. She hosted the short-lived series Home Made Simple for the Oprah Winfrey Network. Frye's résumé is very full with her TV and movie credits, but those aren't her only projects. She has built a very diverse empire, with several ventures that she created from the ground up. Let's take a look at Frye's many businesses and how those add up to her estimated net worth.
Soleil Moon Frye's career includes more than just acting
In 2011, Soleil Moon Frye published her first book, Happy Chaos: From Punky to Parenting and My Perfectly Imperfect Adventures in Between. Two years later, she released the book Let's Get This Party Started: DIY Celebrations for You and Your Kids to Create Together. She has channeled her love of party-planning into another career, too.
Frye previously spoke to People about her company P.S. XO's launch of its Celebration in Box collection, which are kits with everything a person needs to throw themed events. She shared, "My entire life I've loved throwing parties, and aesthetics have always been important to me. This has been a true labor of love and something fun that I've been able to work on with my kids."
That's not all, though. She launched her eco-friendly children's clothing store, The Little Seed, in 2007. The shop used to be located in Los Angeles. However, it has shifted with the times, becoming a solely online business.
Being an actor, director, author, party planner, and entrepreneur has amounted to an estimated $5 million net worth, according to Celebrity Net Worth. And that was before that Punky Brewster revival check was written. If the show continues for more than one season, Frye's net worth has the potential to increase quite a bit.
