Currently working as one of the hostesses of "The View," Rosie Perez's net worth stems from a long career in show business, lately supported mostly on her work in the iconic morning talk show, where she co-stars with the likes of Oscar winner star Whoopi Goldberg and "The Cosby Show" actress Raven-Symone.

The moment where Rosie Perez's net worth started to rise is pretty incredible in itself, as her first screen project ever is no other than the 1989 modern Spike Lee classic "Do The Right Thing," where she played the small role of Tina.

Besides her acting and hosting, other ventures that have boosted Rosie Perez's net worth include her writing, as in February 2014 she published her autobiography, "Handbook for an Unpredictable Life: How I Survived Sister Renata and My Crazy Mother, and Still Came Out Smiling," where she reveals her struggles with having been a victim of child abuse - and also telling the story of her well-publicized rift with Jennifer Lopez.

At a recent event hosted by LGBT youth organization The Trevor Project, Perez spoke for the first time about a past lesbian relationship, prompting fans to wonder what Rosie Perez's net worth is during this incredibly important moment for her, as she speaks in full about her sexuality for the first time.

Although Rosie Perez's net worth sees the Brooklyn-born actress and hostess well into the millions of dollars, she hasn't turned her back on the community, and recently she spoke candidly about The Trevor Project, a non-profit focused on halting LGBT youths from attempting suicide when things are going bad.

"I'm not the only one that went through this questioning period," said Perez at the event, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "I'm not the only one that suppressed those feelings, who hid their story," she said. "I know I'm not lesbian, gay or whatever - I'm a quasi-straight person - I still went through that period. And I thought I was all alone."

Currently, Celebrity Net Worth lists Rosie Perez's net worth at $8 million.
