Who is Shauna Rae?
Shauna Rae is a reality show star known for her short stature.
She is the star of her own TLC series I Am Shauna Rae in which she faces obstacles in her family life, social life, and dating life.
She also reveals the challenges of trying to live independently while still looking like a child.
“I do desire more independence from my family because I can’t go anywhere without them asking questions,” she said in the show’s trailer.
“I’ve tried to put my foot down with my parents about doing more independent things,” she said.
Rae suffered from brain cancer as a baby, and the chemotherapy left her pituitary gland “almost dormant,” she revealed.
The pituitary gland is in charge of producing growth hormones, so as a result, Rae stands at 3 feet 10 inches as an adult.
What is Shauna Rae’s net worth?
Rae has an estimated net worth of $100k, according to Popular Net Worth.
Rae’s stepfather Mark Schrankel filed for bankruptcy twice in 2012 and 2015, with a debt totaling $386k.
It is unclear how much Rae and her family make per episode on I Am Shauna Rae.
And although it is unclear if Rae has a career outside of the reality show, she has revealed that she wants to go to college to be a veterinarian.

Rae confirmed that she is not dating anyone in the trailer for her show.
“My relationship status is single,” she said. “I attract creeps, a**holes, and idiots. It is scary to put myself out there, but you have to put some risk in to get happiness.”
In another clip, Rae and the rest of her family discuss the challenges she faces with online dating, particularly the problem of attracting men who like her for her childlike qualities.
“There’s plenty of bad situations that can happen when it comes to people that want to date me,” she said. “The attraction to younger people, children exactly, is an issue. And there have been times that I’ve attracted that.”
“Online dating for Shauna I think, it’s a slippery slope,” Schrankel said. “The problem with online is you don’t know what their intentions are. I mean, are they allowed within 500 yards of an elementary school? I mean those are serious concerns of mine.”
