Celebrities Who Were Professional Cheerleaders

Ready? OK! These celebrities who were once cheerleaders have spirit — yes they do! — and they’ve got impressive net worth to boot.

Before entertaining audiences on TV, in the movies or on stage, these celebrities once wowed sports crowds with their high-flying moves and cheers when they worked as cheerleaders for various teams.

Regardless of (or perhaps thanks in part to) their cheerleading background, these stars have branched into successful careers in the spotlight off the playing field.
