The “Zendaya effect” is in full swing for shoe brand On. June 2024 the Zurich, Switzerland-based company announced it was collaborating with Zendaya Coleman and was signing the actress to a multi-year deal for her to become its brand partner, per WWD. Under their agreement she would be expected to help the company “drive meaningful conversations around movement and well-being, reimagine select product collections and produce future creative campaigns.” As part of the announcement, On launched its campaign “Dream Together” with Zendaya as the star of a short film. “We’ve been massive admirers of Zendaya’s ability to inspire a generation and dream big,” Co-Founder and Executive Co-Chairman David Allemann said, per WWD. “We can’t think of a better partner to help us grow, evolve and connect with people around the world than Zendaya.

Transcending her experience as a childhood star on Disney Channel, Zendaya is now a force in Hollywood. This can be credited partially to her forging her own path in fashion with the help of Law Roach and diversifying her roles, through HBO’s “Euphoria” — which landed her two Emmys for her role as Rue Bennett — and the big screen’s “Dune” and “Spider-Man” franchises, per Variety. Now, Zendaya is on to her next project, “Challengers,” directed by Luca Guadagnino, which was released on April 26, 2024. Unlike the aforementioned roles, the actress has the opportunity to move beyond portraying a teenager on screen and takes on Tashi Duncan, an adult character who plays tennis and winds up in a love triangle, according to People. “I’ve been playing 16-year-olds since I was 16,” Zendaya, 27, told Variety. “So it was nice to play a character that was not a child anymore. It was also interesting playing parts of my life that I haven’t experienced yet: I’ve not gotten married. I’ve not had a...
Zendaya has been building her net worth since she was a child. However, being a child star comes with its fair share of challenges, like taking care of your family financially. In 2010, Zendaya starred in Disney Channel’s TV series “Shake It Up” as Rocky Blue. After three seasons, the breakout role led Zendaya to stay within the Disney Channel franchise in TV shows and films such as “K.C. Undercover,” “Frenemies,” and “Zapped.” Building her work resume early on resulted in Zendaya co-starring in the film “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” based on Marvel Comics, and landing the leading role in HBO nextwork’s teen drama series “Euphoria,” for which she won two Emmys and one Golden Globe for her portrayal of Rue Bennett. While Zendaya has risen in stardom since her Disney Channel days, she is now beginning to further reflect on how her time as a child star impacted her. During her May 2024 cover story interview with Vogue, the 27-year-old shared how having the most income in her household at a...
In a previous interview, Zendaya (née Zendaya Coleman) confessed that she sought therapy because she was overly concerned about her finances. “The hope is to have a career where you can be in a position, financially, to just do things you want to do because you enjoy the work and not have to worry about the other things,” she said in a British Vogue (via Yahoo! ) cover story. “But I’m always like, ‘I will always need to work.’ Because if I don’t work, then everything can be gone tomorrow.” According to CNBC, Zendaya is not alone in these types of concerns. In fact, the outlet says a whole new subsection of therapy emerged in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic: financial therapy. “Clients get the best of both worlds when they see a financial therapist: They can begin to process their underlying feelings about money while working out plans for retirement, savings, investments, and other goals,” they said . Not many of us will make the money that Zendaya has made through the years. And...

If you work alongside Zendaya, sis will fight to get you paid! According to Showbiz CheatSheet, the actor’s co-workers on the set of her recent film, “Malcolm & Marie,” will reap some great financial benefits. The team reportedly enacted a “points system” that would allow crew members to get more money as the film drew in more coins. Zendaya appeared alongside John David Washington in the film that took place in California’s Caterpillar House with a crew of 22 and was born out of the thought on whether or not a story could be told given the restrictions of the pandemic. The actor was an advocate for her co-workers on set as they filmed in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic when most had lost their jobs at the time. “We got to create this financial structure where all of our crew members also got points on it, so when it sold, they made money as well, so hopefully that will be a system that can continue,” Zendaya shared during an HFPA panel for the Golden Globes . “I think it’s...
