Largely due to her roles in Person of Interest and Empire, Taraji P. Henson has earned quite a living. She has made, approximately,, $25 million throughout her career and, now, lives in a $2.7 million Hollywood Hills mansion. But she hasn’t always lived the lifestyle of the rich and famous.

From 2002-2011, Taraji P. Henson lived in a 1,400-square-foot home in Glendale, California that set her back less than half of a million dollars. After not living in that home for, almost, a decade, Taraji P. Henson has decided to rent out the 2 bedroom house that she once paid $435,000 for. If anyone’s interested, she’s charging about $3,700 a month – given the area, that’s quite a bargain.
