5 Ways Toya Wright Makes Her Money

While most celebrities stick to the trade that made them a star, reality TV veteran Toya Wright used her fame and fortune as a business platform. From writing to owning her own fitness company, the 36-year-old mother is securing the bag in multiple ways. Here’s five different ways Wright generates income.

She’s a Published Author

Wright has written several books including “How To Lose A Husband,” “You Just Don’t Get It” featuring her daughter, Reginae Carter, and “In My Own Words.”

She published her very first book “Priceless Inspirations” in 2011, a few years after she divorced rapper Lil Wayne. Her memoir landed at No. 14 on the New York Time’s Best-Seller List.

Owns ‘Before Bed Headz’ Bonnet Collection

The mother of two launched her “Before Bed Headz” bonnet line in 2015. She created the satin bonnet collection as a way for women to protect their hair while apparently still looking fly.

Wright added a “mommy and me” collection to her line after giving birth to her 1-year-old daughter Reign Rushing in February 2018.

Stars on “Friends & Family Hustle”

The television personality made her debut on “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle” in October, 2018. The show displays her life as a mother and entrepreneur and goes more in depth into her romance.

She’s also starred on BET’s “Tiny & Toya” in 2009 and We TV’s “Marriage Boot Camp” in 2013.

The Owner of ‘Weight No More’

Wright recently launched her health and fitness company Weight No More in 2019. She partnered with her companion Robert “Red” Rushing to help join in the fight against obesity and help others become healthier individuals.

The pair sell athleisure wear and fitness products on their website. They also hosts several 5K walk/run events in different states.

Fashion Ambassador

The serial entrepreneur appears to be a fashion ambassador for online clothing brand Fashion Nova. She apparently models different pieces and outfits for the retailer to help create brand awareness.

A recent post of hers included a yellow kimono from the boutique, to which she wrote in her caption, “Sweeter than honey 🍯 Outfit: @fashionnova.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
