Deidra Roper, better known as DJ Spinderella, has an estimated net worth of $10 million. The DJ and rapper net worth went through the roof, by making a third of the all-girl hip-hop group Salt ‘N’ Pepa.

Deidra hit the jackpot when she was handpicked to become part of an all female rap act, beating TV personality Wendy Williams to the position. Only sixteen at the time, Deidra took on the stage name Spinderella around the time the group was releasing their first album.

Like all good things, Salt ‘N’ Pepa came to an end in 2002.
