Harry Shum Jr. rose to fame as a member of the Glee cast, but since then he’s had roles in many different movies. He’s also widely known as an actor in many Wong Fu Productions shorts. He made some cash with the film Revenge of the Green Dragons this year, and he’ll also make a buck or two in the 2015 sequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Brenda Song ($5 Million)

Brenda Song is an actress who’s been a Disney star for many years. Most recently you may have seen her in the TV sitcom Dads which was unfortunately cancelled after one season. Her net worth comes solely from acting, where she’s had a steady string of roles on Disney channel movies (anyone remember Wendy Wu?) and TV shows such as The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

Maggie Q ($6 Million)

She’s been in the game for a while, and she’s earned quite a bit of coin. Usually playing the “Asian femme fatale” role, Maggie Q has gotten roles in movies such as Mission Impossible III and more recently, Divergent. She was also the lead actress in the TV drama, Nikita, that aired on the CW. She’s the first Asian American female lead star in a TV show since 1951. Currently she’s one of three lead stars in Stalker, a TV drama where she plays the main role.

Nicole Scherzinger ($8 Million)

She made quite a bit of money as the lead singer for the Pussycat Dolls, and followed that up with gigs as a talent host on the UK version of The X Factor. She also judged the American version of X Factor in 2011. Her new album in 2014 is supposedly worth $4.5 million, so if that goes through then her net worth goes quite a bit higher.

Let’s get to the 8 figure earners.
