At the age of 3, the actress began a three-year stint on "The Cosby Show."
Raven-Symone opened up about her bank account recently, specifically about her income from "The Cosby Show."
The actress, 34, worked on the hugely popular sitcom from 1989 to 1992, where she portrayed the adorable Olivia Kendall, step-daughter to Lisa Bonet's Denise Huxtable.
Her revenue from the comedy series -- which ran for eight seasons and was NBC's number one show for five of them -- would include residuals and royalties from streaming, reruns and syndication.
During an Instagram Live session with social media influencer Jerome Trammel, Raven-Symone revealed the fate of those finances.
Raven-Symoné joined The Cosby Show in 1989 at 3 years old. Today, she STILL generates money in residuals/royalties from the show.

"It's not like I started when I was 15," she began. "I didn't start when I was 12. I got out of the womb, said 'hi,' and then they put me on television."
