Actress Imani Hakim has recently gotten engaged to her partner, Chris Naoki Lee. Imani has gained recognition over the years for her performance as Tonya Rock on the popular sitcom Everybody Hates Chris. As per CelebrityNetWorth, her net worth is estimated to be around $500,000.
Imani and Chris confirmed their engagement through a joint Instagram post on December 3, 2024. The post featured a video in which Chris planned a surprise proposal with the help of Hakim's family and friends.

Chris was hiding inside the house and walked toward Imani before getting down on one knee to take out a ring that was on Kobe's neck. The duo kissed each other, and Imani then went upstairs, where she was surprised to see everyone else waiting for her. The caption of the social media post stated:
"Greatest thing is to love and be loved in return. So here's to a lifetime of loving cause we engaged! Months of planning and secret phone calls to one magical afternoon, and fortunately, she had no idea."
Imani Hakim expressed her gratitude to everyone involved in planning the surprise, including her sisters. She ended by writing:
"We're grateful for the love. We know the journey ahead will be filled with unknowns. And we're lucky asf to do it together. Lock in girly bean."
Imani Hakim accumulated substantial wealth from her acting career
The Cleveland, Ohio native has been active in the entertainment industry for more than 10 years. She has mostly appeared on TV shows, portraying different roles, and her successful career is her main source of income.
In an interview with Grazia magazine in 2022, Imani Hakim recalled that she realized her passion for acting at the age of seven. She mentioned that she was able to write scripts at that point and cast her cousins in different roles. Reflecting on how she began her journey, she said:
"I started acting in the neighborhood theater, and I think that's when the acting bug really began. I was like, 'OK, I could really do this.' It just became a nonstop thing where I preferred to hang out by myself in my room so I could act and write and put on plays."
Her first major role was as Tonya Rock in Everybody Hates Chris in 2005. She was featured on the show for almost four years and slowly joined other popular projects such as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and The Replacements.
Imani Hakim has been playing Dana in the Apple TV+ series Mythic Quest since season 1. In an interview with Grazia, she spoke up about her experience reprising the character in the third season:
"With Sana, it's really exciting for me to step into this character again – we've gotten to know her as the unassuming one out of the bunch at the Mystic Quest office. She's nice and passionate about video games, but this season we get to see all these new colors of her personality: her drive, her desire for climbing the ladder a bit."
Furthermore, Imani Hakim has some films in her credits, such as Sollers Point, Burning Sands, and Cam. She has also appeared in shows like ER, Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake, and Pokémon Concierge.
