The Riches of Kelsey Chow

How rich is Kelsey Chow? As of mid-2019, sources inform us of a net worth that is over $3 million, earned through a successful career in acting since 2005, appearing in both films as well as television. As she continues her career, it is expected that her wealth will also continue to increase.

Early Life and Education

According to Kelsey, her father is Chinese while her mother is American, claiming that she has ancestry from the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. However, this has not been proven as there is no record or evidence to this effect. She grew up with two younger siblings, and attended Hammond School located in her hometown. The school was founded in 1966 and was originally known as a segregation academy. Later on, it became known for their academic and athletic achievements.

After matriculating from high school, she moved to New York City to study at Columbia University, taking up a degree in Human Rights. Columbia University is one of the prestigious Ivy League universities and is the fifth oldest institution of higher education in the country. It has been consistently ranked among the top ten universities in the world. The university is known for creating scientists and scholars who’ve had a significant impact in their respective fields. They’ve made strides in fields such as genetics, nuclear technology, laser, and the brain-computer interface.

Acting Career

Chow had already been pursuing an acting career at a young age, and gained experience in community theatre during her primary school years. In 2005 after entering high school, she got her breakthrough when she was cast in “One Tree Hill” at the age of 13. The show ran for a total of nine seasons from 2003 to 2012, though she only stayed with the show until 2009. The show focuses on the lives of the main characters through their high school years, though the show later did a time skip, showcasing their lives after college.

During her time with the show, she also made a guest appearance in “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” and also worked on the Disney Channel original film entitled “Den Brother”. In 2010, she then became the star of the Disney XD original series entitled “Pair of Kings” in which she played Mikayla. The sitcom aired for three years, and was filmed in front of a live studio audience – the story revolves around two Chicago teens who discover that they are actually rulers of a fictitious Pacific Island nation.

Recent Projects

In 2012, Kelsey was given a support role in the film “The Amazing Spider-Man”. The film is based on the highly popular Marvel Comics character Spider-Man, taking its title from the comic book series which is the character’s longest running, and is a reboot of the Sam Raimi “Spider-Man” trilogy which aired from 2002 to 2007, and starred Andrew Garfield alongside Emma Stone. It tells the story of Peter Parker, a teenager from New York City who takes on the mask of “Spider-Man” after being bit by a genetically engineered spider. Shortly after that appearance, she  appeared in the film “Run” before being cast in the drama “Hieroglyph”.

She hasn’t shared a lot about this aspect of her life and many believe that she is single as she has not given evidence to the contrary.

She also mentioned that one of her biggest inspirations is her grandmother, who was one of the first women to complete medical school at the top of her class. According to her, she enjoys being ethnically ambiguous, as it allows her to play many roles.

She has an account on Instagram on which she has over 96,000 followers, and uses the platform to post personal photos from events or projects she’s had in recent months.

2	I want to do roles that will challenge me. I'm definitely interested in period pieces. But I definitely don't want to limit myself. I'm very open to different roles.
3	It's fun to get away from myself for a while when I take on these roles that have very different personalities from my own. I get to say things I normally wouldn't say or act in ways I normally wouldn't act. After all, such roles are more challenging because you really have to immerse yourself in the character.
4	Run (2013) is exciting, about family secrets, the mystery surrounding them and the outdoor sport of parkour. The story itself is full of intrigue and action, but the parkour takes the story to another level. It was an absolutely incredible experience, working with experts from all over the country.
5	I enjoy having the ability to play a variety of ethnicities. Being ethnically ambiguous allows me to explore many roles, and I enjoy being free to be whoever I want to be.
6	I love mixing prints. The costume designer for Pair of Kings (2010) and I have actually incorporated the trend for my character 'Mikayla.'
7	The more you love a person, you more you should respect that person. Encourage her to be the best she can be, and you'll both be happier.

10	Pair of Kings (2010) is so much fun, literally. It is a very physical show with loads of stunts and green screen work, and you never know what great adventure is ahead of you! It's also a nice change in terms of being of similar ages to Larramie Doc Shaw and Mitchel Musso.
11	I enjoyed the drama of One Tree Hill (2003) and the opportunity to be one of the comedic aspects, initially.
12	Dance and theatre afforded me the opportunity to discover my passion for acting, for telling stories.
13	One Tree Hill (2003) was my first television experience, so naturally I was nervous initially. There is no rehearsal, you get your script a few days ahead, and you work. I was also the youngest actor, 13, on set at that time, but it was amazing to be able to 'learn the ropes' with such a supportive group of people.
14	I wish I could read minds. It's a dangerous superpower, so I'd wish for it to come with a switch where I could turn it off if I wanted to. You'd learn a lot about people, that's for sure!

16	My 94-year-old grandmother has always been so inspiring to me. She is kind, smart, brave, and independent.

18	I've always wanted to work with Sean Connery - there's something about his style, and his calm, cool demeanor that I find intriguing.
19	One Tree Hill (2003) will always be very, very special to me. It was my first television show. And my first gig in the business. It was surreal. I booked the role when I was 13. I had just started high school, and literally, I think, a week into high school, I found out I got the role. It was unimaginable! I learned so much from that show.
20	When you're young, you don't think about your career or your future - you perform because you love it.
