About Tamera Mowry

Tamera Mowry rose to popularity for her role in the sitcom Sister, Sister, where she was the opposite of her identical twin sister Tia. In 2011, both Tia and Tamera starred in their own self-titled television show. The show ended in 2013, and since then, Tamera has been a co-host of the talk show The Real, which earned her many awards, including a Daytime Emmy Award.

She was born on July 6, 1978, in Gelnhausen, West Germany. At the time of Mowry’s birth, both of her parents were in Germany as part of the US Army. Both of her parents served in the army and in the early 1980s, they moved to California. Tamera was born two minutes before Tia and they also have two younger brothers – That and Tavior.

Mowry is of Afro-Bahamian, English, and Irish descent. Shortly after she graduated from the Vintage High School in Napa, California, she enrolled at the Pepperdine University, from which she got a bachelor’s degree in psychology. In the early 1990s, both Mowry twins began pursuing an acting career and landed various roles. In 1991, in what was her television debut, Tamera took part in the NBC sitcom Flesh and Blood. The following year, she landed roles in the sitcoms True Colours and Full House.

The actress began to become rich after the debut of her own television series. Prior to Tia and Tamera, the two sisters took part in the ABC /The WB sitcom Sister, Sister. The show focuses on the fictional characters of Tia Landry and Tamera Campbell. It premiered in April 1994 and after six seasons and 119 episodes, it ended in May 1999. Working for the show not only boosted the popularity of the teenage twins but also earn a living as professional actresses.

Concurrently with her role in Sister, Sister, in 1995, Tamera also joined the cast of the animated series The Adventures of Hyperman. She spent a little over a year on the show, voicing the main role of Emma Squared.

In 1999, just after the ABC classic sitcom had ended, Tia was given the leading role of Orangejella LaBelle in Detention. She remained on the short-lived animated series for all of its 13 episodes, which added to her earnings.

In 2011, at the peak of their career, Tia and Tamera announced the creation of their own television show. The eponymous reality series aired from August 2011 to September 2013 and it was one of Style Network’s most-watched series at the time. Shortly after the series had ended, Tamera joined the cast of the daytime talk show The Real, where she began co-hosting with Adrienne Bailon, Tamar Braxton, Loni Love, and others.

Mowry’s Total Net Worth

Tamera Mowry may have had career earnings of some $12 million. Since the 1990s, simultaneously with her main roles in sitcoms and animated series, the actress starred in various productions such as Are You Afraid of the Dark?, The Smartest Guy, Something That You Sing About, and Seventeen Again.

In the early 2000s, she became series regular in the series Express Yourself, Strong Medicine, and Family Guy. In 2002, Tamera starred in her first film – The Hot Chick, which earned $54.6 million at the box office from a $34 million dollar budget. After that, followed roles in many television films – Twitches, Twitches Too, Double Wedding, and Rebounding.

More recently, Tamera was earning $3 million per season of The Real. When she exited the show it came as a surprise to her fans and longtime viewers. At the time, an explanation was that she was “taking on new projects and wanted to spend more time with her family”. Later it was revealed that she had only been offered $1 million per season to return to the show and so left it entirely, instead.

Still, living and working in California will have taken a large chunk out of her $12 million career income. Before she will have paid her taxes of course, she will have deducted her business costs of around $1.5 million dollars (business costs, including agent and management fees, legal fees, and so on). The remainder, $10.5 million, will have been taxed at around 48%, given the years that she has been earning. After tax, it is estimated that her career earnings are at around $5.46 million dollars, having paid $5.04 million dollars in taxes.

Tamera Mowry married Adam Housley in 2011 and they have stayed together. They have two children together and Mowry has not been married and divorced before or had any other children from a previous relationship. It seems in fact, that Mowry’s personal life is quite perfect. She had a Shih Tzu named Milano, and since it passed she and her family now own a new dog by the name of Chloe Housley. It seems unlikely that she incurs costs over and above her and her families’ living costs which should be relatively low.

“I have a best friend as a husband, and he is my number one supporter. He’s a family man, and he’s always giving back to God. That is what makes him a beautiful man. We’re not perfect by any means, but that makes us beautiful as well. We’re not afraid to say we’re not perfect. We have our disagreements, but that comes along with marriage,” Tamera Mowry has said. It sounds like her personal life is doing very well.

In her investments that have been made public. She has made a variety of property purchases including a property in the Napa Valley area of Northern California and she has also purchased an empty lot in Playa del Rey for $1.43 million. It is likely that at least a portion of her earnings have also been allocated to stock investments which is another area where she is predicted to have done quite well.

In her personal life Tamera has likely spent $1-2 million dollars of her career earnings but also probably possesses assets valued at around $400,000, not including investment assets. In her investments, she may have earned investment returns of $1.3-5 million dollars. Therefore, it is estimated that Tamera Mowry has a net worth of a rounded up $6 million dollars.
