Laverne Cox’s Career To Date

Laverne Cox’s acting career first kicked into high gear with the hit Netflix series Orange is The New Black. Based on the true story of Piper Kerman, Orange is The New Black is a dramedy set in a women’s prison.

For her role in Orange is the New Black as Sophia Burset, Laverne Cox has been nominated for 3 Primetime Emmy Awards, a Critics Choice award, and an NAACP Image Award. She also won a Screen Actor’s Guild award as part of the Orange is the New Black ensemble.

But, Orange is the New Black isn’t Laverne Cox’s only acting success. She also played Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the Fox television adaptation of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (called, The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again).

And, that’s not all! Laverne Cox has made appearances on Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Tuca & Bertie, A Black Lady Sketch Show, and tons of other amazing television shows.

Laverne Cox’s Non-Acting Successes

Not all of Laverne Cox’s successes have been acting-related. She’s also recently dipped a toe into the producing space, while continuing to advocate for the trans community.

She was an executive producer on the Netflix documentary, Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen, which she also appeared in. Disclosure was a really important film that went through the history of trans portrayals in Hollywood, and how those representations affect how trans people are treated and live in the real world.

Laverne Cox has also been lauded for her advocacy for many years. She was the first out trans person to cover Time Magazine and British Vogue.

Laverne Cox was even awarded an honorary doctorate from the New School in 2016, and GLAAD’s Stephen F. Kolzak Award award in 2014.

What’s Up Next for Laverne Cox?

It probably won’t surprise you to know that Laverne Cox’s career is just getting started. She’s set to appear in the upcoming films Promising Young Woman (starring Carey Mulligan) and Jolt (starring Kate Beckinsale and Stanley Tucci).

She’ll also be a series regular in the Shondaland Netflix Series, Inventing Anna, based on the story of grifter Anna Delvey.

Laverne Cox’s Net Worth

As of today, Laverne Cox is worth an estimated three million dollars. This number includes all of the income that she has (and continues to) produce from her:

  • Extensive TV and film work
  • Documentary film work
  • Photo shoots and magazine features
  • Music sales for her singles Beat for the Gods and Welcome Home
  • Royalties paid to Lavern for her feature in the soundtrack for The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp 
  • Speaking appearances
  • Paid partnerships and collaborations

This net worth figure also includes all property she owns, like stock, real estate or other physical investments.

It’s important to note that this figure is an estimate based on publicly available data. People are often worth much more or much less than these reported figures, so make sure not to take them as a hard or fast rule. Many online estimates aren’t exact.

And, net worth obviously varies over time, changing with the amount of money a person is making and swings in the broader market and the economy. No one’s net worth stays static for too long, so these are ever-changing numbers.

Make sure that you keep this information in mind when evaluating the net worth of celebrities or notable figures that you would like to emulate or whose career path you are interested in replicating.

For most people, celebrities included, jobs create income, but wealth is created through investments. At this stage of her career, this is likely to be true for Lavern Cox as well.

With anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans legislation on the With anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans legislation on the rise, I have enormous RESPECT for people for are taking action to support our communities. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Putting this into action are Dr @EricCervini, an author and historian, and his partner @Adam_Powell. Together they will be driving a bus full of banned #queerbooks across the U.S., starting this summer! 

I absolutely love this idea—and can't wait for them to swing by Virginia! 

From an article shared on XtraMagazine.com:

“With LGBTQ2S+ books under attack in the U.S. at record rates, author Eric Cervini and his boyfriend, actor Adam Powell, knew they wanted to take action. While others are organizing with protests, drag queen story hours, days of reading and other important acts of resistance, Cervini and Powell have their own spin on what to contribute to the movement—and that spin has wheels.

The pair are working on buying, then building, what they call the Rainbow Book Bus, a bookmobile carrying queer and trans books to small towns. 

After reaching their crowdfunding goal of USD $100,000 at the end of December, Cervini and Powell are now able to pay a specialized company to retrofit a school bus to become a beacon of queer literature. 

‘Our goal is to have at least an early version of it ready by Pride [in June],’ Cervini tells Xtra. ‘We want to have a bus that is converted—it may not be fully decked out, but it will be functioning as a travelling book shop/book fair—in the summer of 2023.’”

If you'd like them to visit your town, share it in comments! 🌈🚌
