Viola Davis

Known for her hit television drama, How to Get Away with Murder, Viola Davis has proven to this generation that she is a world-class talent that is worthy of praise. As such, the brilliant Viola Davis is the only black actress ever to be nominated for three Academy Awards. Winning one means that she can be the only black woman ever to win the Triple Crown of Acting.

Time magazine also placed Davis as part of the 100 most influential people in the world, in both 2012 and 2017. Along with her prestigious rewards, Davis also has an $18 million net worth under her belt. When she’s not working on another sought-after acting credit, Davis also works as an ambassador of Hunger Is, a charity that was established to fight hunger for childhood malnutrition. Davis can credit her humble upbringing for her good heart since she had a childhood that was stricken with poverty.
