According to Celebrity Net Worth, the net worth of Union Wade is $40 million. The initial primary contributing factor for this has been her acting stints. Beyond that, she has engaged herself in some techinal roles as well such as producer and executive producer. According to ‘The Numbers’, she appeared in 13 movies in a supporting role, and in 10 movies in a lead role until 2024. However, she has more projects to her name which do not fall into either of these categories. Her most notable works on the big screen include ‘Bring It On’, ‘Bad Boys II’, and multiple others.
Although Union-Wade was grabbing decent projects on the big screen, she did not bid farewell to the TV industry either. After multiple guest appearances and single-episode appearances, she found her place in the main cast for the first time in the 2000 TV series ‘City of Angels’. After this, she appeared as a main cast member in other multiple series as well. Notably, by the time she met Dwyane Wade in 2007, she had already established herself as an accomplished actor.
However, she did not let her married life with the former Miami Heat star affect her professional growth. In fact, she made her debut as a producer in 2016 after her marriage to Wade in 2014. As per the information on ‘The Numbers’, her first movie as a producer was ‘Breaking In’, which had a worldwide box-office collection of $51.4 million. But this is still just Gabrielle Union Wade’s sources of income from the entertainment industry. Apart from this, she has various other ventures that contribute to her wealth.

Apart from being a basketball wife, a mother to 5 children, and an actress, the ‘Bad Boys II’ star is also a successful businesswoman.

Yet another popular brand owned by Union-Wade is a cracker line called Bitsy’s, which, according to the company’s official website, bakes crackers with organic veggies.
Her other business ventures include Proudly, Jomboy Media, Somewhere Good, and multiple others. Some of these businesses are co-owned by Dwyane Wade and his wife. However, this is no indication that the two mix up their professional and personal work. In fact, as revealed by the couple, the two even split their bills to keep the finances clear. “It’s weird to say I’m head of household, because in this household, we split everything 50/50,” Union has said.
