She's so much more than some rapper's girlfriend.

In addition, this diva is dedicated to social change and actively preaches about consent law and the stigmatization against female sexuality at her SlutWalk events.
ENTITY is here to explain how the Amber Rose net worth rose to $12 million and to share where that money goes.
While she’s best known as Amber Rose, the celebrity was born Amber Levonchuck on Oct. 21, 1983. The 33-year-old celebrity grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
At age 15, Amber Rose started stripping under the name “Paris” to provide for her family while her parents were divorcing. However, she didn’t become serious about making a livelihood as a stripper until age 18.
Amber Rose told Cosmopolitan magazine that. at first, stripping was a foreign and scary experience because she was so young and uncomfortable with her body. But by age 18, she became more comfortable with herself and saw it as an overall positive experience that she continued doing until age 25.
“That was the best time of my life! Oh my god, I had so much fun. I really did. All the girls were really cool. The guys weren’t allowed to touch you. I was never sexually assaulted or [anything],” she said. “I was young, beautiful, I was onstage, I wasn’t really ashamed of my body [and] I made lifelong friends.”
In 2008, Amber Rose first bumped shoulders with Kanye West when she appeared in his music video with Young Jeezy for “Put On.” This then led to her work posing with Louis Vuitton for Kanye West’s sneaker line.
The five-foot-nine model also walked the New York Fashion Week runway for Celestino in 2009 and was signed with Ford Models until 2010. She was also the Smirnoff spokesperson in 2011.
During this time, Amber Rose was linked to Kanye West. However, the duo split in 2010 after rumors that he cheated on her with Kim Kardashian. Soon after, she started dating rapper Wiz Khalifa and then had their now four-year-old son Sebastian Taylor Thomaz in 2013.
As a result of her relationship with Wiz Khalifa, she had cameos in his music videos for “No Sleep,” “Fabulous” and “You Be Killin’ Em.”
She was also featured in other popular music videos including Nicki Minaj’s “Massive Attack,” Young Jeezy’s “Vacation,” Ludacris’ “What Them Girls Like” and Future’s “Mask Off.”
The Amber Rose net worth increased during her time on television. She was a guest judge on season three of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and a judge on season two of “Master the Mix.” She also made appearances on “Running Russell Simmons.” In addition, she competed on season 23 of “Dancing with the Stars.”
Hosting is also kind of her thing. In July 2016, Amber Rose hosted the first episode of her talk show “The Amber Rose Show” on the VH1 network. Later that year in September, she revamped the radio show “Loveline,” hosting it from a podcast.
But like her famous beaus, Amber Rose also dabbled in music. She released her debut album, “Fame,” in 2012, which features Wiz Khalifa.
In 2012, she started a clothing line with her friend Priscilla Ono called “Rose & Ono.” However, the duo didn’t stop at fashion.
Their latest endeavor came on the tails of Amber Rose becoming the face of Flirt Cosmetics, which specializes in false eyelashes.
Rose and Ono created the liquid lipstick line “Muva Mouth” for Flirt Cosmetics, which dropped in July 2017. The collection features natural, subtle shades.
In 2015, Amber Rose released her book, “How to Be a Bad Bitch.” The book, which is Amber Rose’s guide to love, happiness and success, got mixed reviews.
Some women embraced the mantra of making the term “bitch” a positive thing. Others felt the book failed on its feminist goals because it was still centered around what a man wants, especially pertaining to success.
Despite criticism, the book was still successful, selling numerous copies. Also, not all of her advice was male-centered, as seen in the quote from her book below:
“A bad bitch has her own signature look and doesn’t give a shit about beauty norms.”
In 2016, the Amber Rose net worth spiked from her launch of the emoji app, MuvaMoj. The app offers over 900 high-definition emojis, including animations and customizable sizes and skin colors.
The emojis are available from the iTunes store and are compatible with any device.
Aside from the positive user experience, the Amber Rose net worth got a $4 million increase from the app.
This isn’t any meet and greet tour. The Amber Rose Live Tour is reportedly bringing the business-forward diva $8 million.
Like her book, the tour will focus on Amber Rose discussing sex, love and women’s empowerment. It will feature special guests and her personal stories about going from a stripper to major success.
With $12 million of the Amber Rose net worth to throw around, there are many opportunities for a lavish lifestyle. However, while she embraces her diva side, this feminist is also doing a lot for the community.
Amber Rose was inspired by the 2011 controversy over an ignorant Toronto police officer saying, “Women shouldn’t dress like sluts if they don’t want to be sexually assaulted.” This statement led to the first SlutWalk event.
While she didn’t create SlutWalk, Amber Rose did bring the non-profit, all-inclusive event to Los Angeles in 2015.
She was met with some controversy in 2017, when she posted a pantless photo on Instagram (that was later removed) while promoting her annual SlutWalk event.
When it comes to romantic relationships, it seems Amber Rose is definitely down for her man. The two spoiled each other with $55K watches.
But when the Amber Rose net worth is $12 million, that’s basically chump change.
Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa showed they can be good co-parents without being together. The ex-couple came together dressed as Batman and Batgirl in Feb. 2017 to throw their son, Sebastian, a lavish “PJ Masks” themed birthday party.
The party was complete with a bounce house, face painting, magic show, DJ and massive birthday cake.
“We love Sebastian. He’s our beautiful child and he’s super awesome. Happy birthday, pumpkin,” she said on Instagram.
You go, girl. As the Amber Rose net worth shows, you have a foot in everything! We totally love your feminist spirit and turning words like “slut” or “bitch” into an empowering thing.
