Paula Abdul's career trajectory
Abdul, an ardent dance fanatic since her schooling days at Van Nuys High, was determined to turn her passion into a career. She had made up her mind that she would enter showbiz one day and the stepping stone for her was a cheerleading position for the Los Angeles Lakers.
It was during one of the games where she was spotted by a couple of bandmates of 'The Jacksons', who immediately offered her a chance to choreograph their single 'Torture', which went on to become a great success. Riding on the success of her debut choreography gig, she went on to work on more projects in the music industry. It was in the '80s that Paula became one of the most sought after choreographers.
She then shifted gears to try out singing and she instantly became a massive singing superstar. She managed to have multiple number one singles on Billboard Hot 100 and most of her songs were considered to be hits. She even received the prestigious Grammy award for the music video of 'Opposites Attract' in 1991 and was nominated for the song 'Straight Up' in the Female Pop Vocal Performance category.
According to IMDb, she also won the Primetime Emmy Award twice, one in 1987 for 'The Tracey Ullman Show' for Outstanding choreography and then in 1990 for her own performance at the 17th Annual American Music Awards. She was then approached by a multitude of big reality shows on television to appear as a judge on the shows. Apart from 'Idol', she has also been on the judging panel of 'The X Factor' (America), 'Dancing with the Stars', and 'So You Think You Can Dance' to name a few. All of this has contributed to her astoundingly massive net worth of $30 Million, according to a Born Rich report.
