Net Worth
Karrueche Tran’s net worth is $900,000 dollars. It’s a strange twist of fate that a woman should be known more for who she dated rather than her own work and talents.
However, the fact that she is most recognized by her failed relationship with Chris Brown is an indication of her still-nascent state of success and fame in her chosen career.
Tran was Chris Brown’s girlfriend before she launched into her own career as a model and an actress. She began her career as a personal shopper when she got out of college and worked at Nordstrom from 2009 to 2012.
Following this, she became a free-lance celebrity stylist to Hollywood stars and developed her own clothing line named “The Kill.”

Tran then got a role in Emmy award-winning series “The Bay,” where she starred as Vivian Johnson. The show ran from 2013 to 2016, at which time it was terminated.
She also starred in another movie called “3-Headed Shark Attack,” as well as in “PrXde.” The Maybelline fashion web-series “StyleHaul” also featured the young actress/model in some of its shows.

Introduction
How many celebrities are most known for who their ex-partner is than for what they have achieved? Such is the case with Karrueche Tran, who is the ex-girlfriend of R&B singer Chris Brown.
The model/actress currently has a five-year restraining order against Brown as a result of feeling “unsafe” regarding his presence. She did not go into detail, but stated that she was really afraid and got the restraining order in June 2017.
The restraining order will remain in effect until 2022. However, there is more to Tran than her experiences with an ex-partner. She has unexpected surprises in her history that just might surprise you.
Early Life
Karrueche Tran was born in the United States and is the daughter of a Vietnamese mother and a Jamaican father. One of the many controversies she is known for is her refusal to accept her black heritage.

She believes that her Vietnamese heritage is the overriding factor in her lineage and is not “black enough” to take her Caribbean roots into account.
Karrueche was raised in Los Angeles and began her formal education at Fairfax High School. She was later switched to Birmingham High School when her family moved to San Fernando Valley.
She attended Pierce College in the same area and graduated in 2008 with a degree in Graphic Design.

Personal Life
Karrueche is 29 years old with no children. She began dating Chris Brown in 2010 while she worked at Nordstrom and was starting out as a free-lance celebrity stylist.

Karrueche ended the relationship in 2017 when she found out that Chris had had a daughter with Nia Guzman, thereby cheating on her.
Her breakup with the singer was drawn-out and ugly and resulted in a restraining order against Brown, effective June 2017.
As of right now, Karrueche is continuing her acting and modeling career and has been in several new films including “The Honor List” and the television series “Claws” as the main character.
She is the winner of several awards including two Daytime Emmy Awards, one Burbank International Film Festival Award, one HollyWeb Festival Award and two Indie Series Awards.
