Keke Palmer has no regrets about being the breadwinner for her family.

As previously reported by AFROTECH™, Palmer earned her first $1 million at just 12 years old as a child actress. At that time, her parents, Sharon and Larry, also hired a business manager to help oversee her finances.

“They wanted me to know that they weren’t the ones controlling my money. They had heard these stories, and my mom said ‘I don’t want money to come in between me and my child,'” Palmer said on the “Club Shay Shay” podcast.

Her parents would remain her backbone as she found her footing in Hollywood. Her early acting footprint included roles in “Barbershop 2: Back in Business”, “Akeelah and the Bee,” and “Jump In!” In 2008, she landed her own show on Nickelodeon with “True Jackson, VP” and her “life was changed after that,” she told People.

Honey, my parents at their best made $40,000 a year growing up,” she explained on “Club Shay Shay.” I was making that a show. So I was like ‘This is unbelievable. We’re happy we didn’t come into this for money, we came into this for love, and look at what we’ve been blessed with.'”

Achieving success as a child also came with sacrifices, not only for Palmer but her family who had moved to California. The “Nope” actress revealed her father had given up his pension so she could follow her dreams. Sharon had also pivoted her life trajectory for similar reasons.

For these sacrifices, Palmer remains forever indebted to her parents.

“My dad gave up his pension. He had worked at the company he worked at for over 15 years and gave up his pension for me to have an opportunity for my dreams,” she said on the podcast. “My mother, they gave up everything. She gave up everything so she could travel with me and do what she needed to do with me. So, how I feel about it is, what’s mine is
