Dove Cameron

Dove Cameron is an American actress, singer, and songwriter who first rose to fame as a Disney Channel star before successfully transitioning to music and more mature acting roles. Born Chloe Celeste Hosterman in Bainbridge Island, Washington, she adopted the nickname “Dove” as a tribute and later made it her legal name. She began acting in community theater at a young age before her family moved to Los Angeles to support her career ambitions.

Cameron’s breakthrough came with her dual role as the titular characters in the Disney Channel series “Liv and Maddie” (2013-2017), where she played identical twins with very different personalities. The show was a hit with young audiences and earned her a Daytime Emmy Award. She further cemented her Disney stardom with her role as Mal in the “Descendants” film franchise (2015, 2017, 2019), playing the daughter of Maleficent. The franchise was enormously popular and produced bestselling soundtracks.

As she matured, Cameron successfully pivoted to more adult-oriented projects and music. She gained critical acclaim for her role as Cher Horowitz in the off-Broadway musical “Clueless” and as Bubbles in the live-action “Powerpuff Girls” pilot. Her music career took off with the single “Boyfriend” (2022), which won the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist and demonstrated her ability to craft catchy, modern pop with personal themes. She continued releasing music that explored identity, relationships, and self-expression.

As of 2026, Dove Cameron’s net worth is estimated at $5 million. Her income comes from acting residuals from her Disney Channel work, music sales and streaming royalties, touring, brand endorsements, and new acting projects. She has established herself as a multi-platform entertainer who resonates with both her original Disney fanbase and a growing adult audience drawn to her music and advocacy work.
