Sanaa Chappelle is the youngest child of comedian Dave Chappelle and his wife Elaine. Sanaa has shown signs of following in her father’s footsteps in the entertainment industry. She had a small cameo in the 2018 film A Star Is Born. Also, she appeared on the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival with her father.

Dave Chappelle’s only daughter was born in 2009 and she is currently 16 years old. Apparently, her real name is Sonal, Sanaa is just a moniker. Her parents have been married for more than two decades.

  • Age: 16 years old
  • Place of birth: United States

  • Ethnicity: Mixed

During an interview in the early 2000s, Dave Chappelle revealed that he and his wife Elaine first met in Brooklyn. They got married in April 2001 after dating for a short while. The duo has been together ever since raising their kids together off the media’s scrutiny.

Her parents have different backgrounds. Sanaa’s mother was born to Filipino parents while Dave is African American.

Sanaa Chappelle is the Youngest Child of Dave Chappelle 

Sanaa Chappelle was born on April 9, 2009, to her parents Dave and Elaine. She is the third child and also the youngest child of the celebrity couple. Her older brother Sulayman was born in 2001 while the second oldest Ibrahim was born in 2003 and he is currently 22 years old.

While Sanaa and her brothers have been raised out of their father’s fame, there are reports that Dave sometimes jokes about what they do. During one of his comedy specials, Dave joked about finding marijuana in Sulayman’s room.

The Chappelle’s blended family relocated to the outskirts of the small town of yellow springs, Ohio some years back. It is the same place Sanaa’s father grew up. Her grandfather, William David Chappelle used to work as a dean of students and professor of vocal performance at Antioch College while his mother, Yvonne Seon worked for the Congolese Prime Minister and was also a professor at several universities including Wright State University.

Is Sanaa Also into Showbiz?

It has been speculated that Dave Chappelle’s daughter has followed him into showbiz. She played a cameo role in 2018’s A Star is Born as his daughter. Apart from Sanaa, the film featured other famous people like Lady Gaga, Sam Elliot, and Bradley Cooper. Also, the film’s soundtrack sold over six million copies and received four Grammy Awards.

Later on, she appeared on the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival for her movie debut.

However, it is still uncertain if Sanaa would want to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. Her father on the other hand is famous for his satirical comedy sketch series Chappelle’s Show. He has also appeared in several films including Robin Hood: Men in Tights(1993), The Nutty Professor (1996), Undercover Brother(2002), and Chi-Raq (2015).

As a stand-up comedian, Sanaa Chappelle’s father was ranked No. 9 by Rolling Stone in 2017 in their 50 Best Stand-Up Comic of All Time. Furthermore, he has received numerous accolades including six Emmy Awards and three Grammy Awards.

Meanwhile, her mother had plans of becoming a professional chef but that has not materialized. Regardless of that, Sanaa’s father once confirmed that her mother possesses some excellent culinary skills.

What is Sanaa Chappelle’s Net Worth?

At the moment, Sanaa Chappelle only depends on her parents. That might not be for long seeing that she is gaining prominence on TikTok.

Notwithstanding, her father, Dave Chappelle reportedly has an estimated net worth of $60 million. His fortune has been built from his Netflix contracts.

Sanaa’s father signed a deal with Netflix in November 2016 to deliver three standup specials. The contract was worth about $60 million, which became one of the largest deals ever paid to a comedian for any medium. Besides that, he earned $47 million between June 2016 and June 2017, and at the same time in 2018, he earned $35 million.

Dave Chappelle has channeled his wealth into several investments including owning several houses in Xenia, Ohio. The Chappelle family currently lives on a 65-acre farm near Yellow Springs.

Sanaa Chappelle and her brothers are raised in a close-knitted family. Her parents do not want her and her brothers in the spotlight even if she decided to follow in her father’s footsteps, her parents would guide and manage her until she becomes an adult.

Whatever path the A Star Is Born actress decides to take, we hope she would excel.
