Blac Chyna, also known as Angela White, has become a household name, thanks to both her relationship and media endeavors.
Before she became one of the top influencers, Chyna was one of the top exotic dancers, known for her pole tricks in the likes of iconic clubs, such as Miami’s King of Diamonds in the 2010s.
She became known for her iconic bangs and stunning looks, which caught the attention of rapper Tyga, who cast her in the video for his party classic, Rack City, in 2011.
The pair got engaged shortly after and Chyna had officially hung up her dancing shoes. Sadly, the pair broke it off in 2014 and the model would claim years later that she was thrown out of their shared Los Angeles mansion.
She has since appeared in music videos for Nicki Minaj and Future, to name a few, and took her talents to several reality shows.
She first enrolled in JLS Professional Makeup Artist School in Los Angeles, to learn all she could about cosmetics and proper application of makeup.
Afterward, she kicked off her first company, 88Fin. As of 2024, the brand has been closed down, though it’s unclear why.
Putting her makeup training to use, she created Lashed by Blac Chyna, also in 2013.
Throughout the years, the 36-year-old has grown Lashed into a full cosmetic line, offering lip glosses, bronzers, and skincare products.
This seems to be her long-running business, now having been operating for over a decade and contributing to her $1.5 million net worth.
In early 2016, Chyna began dating Rob Kardashian. Their love was showcased on the E! series, Rob & Chyna.
The show only lasted seven episodes, with rumors of their tumultuous relationship as the reason the network pulled away.
She bounced back with another show in 2019, The Real Blac Chyna, which aired on Zeus Network. The series followed her personal and business life. It even showcased her tumultuous relationship with her mother, Tokyo Toni.
