Christina Milian, born Christine Flores on September 26, 1981, in Jersey City, New Jersey, has built a lasting presence in entertainment through hit songs like "Dip It Low" and roles in films like Love Don't Cost a Thing. Her fortune draws from four distinct pillars: music career and record sales, income from movies and television, business ventures, and brand deals and sponsorships. Milian has been in the industry for over two decades and has managed to create a successful career in multiple fields.
Milian's music career began when she signed a contract with Def Jam at the age of 19. In 2001, she released her self-titled debut album, featuring the singles "AM to PM" and "When You Look at Me" — both peaking in the top three on the UK Singles Chart. Her second studio album, It's About Time, released in 2004, gave her first major US hit, "Dip It Low", reaching number five on the Billboard chart. Songwriting royalties from her placements, including Ja Rule's "Between Me and You" and Jennifer Lopez's "Play", added a quieter but steady revenue stream.
Milian has earned a significant portion of her wealth from performing in over 75 movies and TV series, including Family Guy and The Oath. She played several roles in television series including Sister, Sister, Smart Guy, and The Steve Harvey Show, before landing her first lead film role in Love Don't Cost a Thing. More recently, she played María LaGuerta in the Paramount+ prequel series Dexter: Original Sin (2024–2025), marking a significant return to mainstream television.
In addition to her entertainment career, Milian has also ventured into business. She co-founded Beignet Box, a dessert shop in the Los Angeles area, with Louisiana native Elizabeth Morris. The brand has attracted celebrity customers and expanded beyond its original food truck. Milian also co-founded and co-owns Viva Diva Wines, a joint venture with her mother and publicist. The brand has taken off, distributing to over 20 states.
Milian's business ventures have not been limited to Beignet Box and Viva Diva Wines. She has also made money from brand sponsorships, including a deal with Lysol. Her salary and income streams span music, acting, reality TV, and her business ventures. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Christina Milian has a net worth of over $6 million, with some outlets placing the figure slightly higher.
Milian is married to French singer Matt Pokora, who has an estimated net worth of $5 million. The couple has two sons, Isaiah and Kenna, and Milian has a daughter, Violet, from a previous relationship. The family permanently relocated to Paris, France, in 2023/2024. In 2021, Milian and Pokora paid $4.3 million for a newly built mansion in Los Angeles, which they later listed for sale in December 2023 for $4.695 million.
