Sara Martins is an example of a brown skin girl Beyoncé sang in her Lion King album. While her beauty is obvious for all to see, her career is not exactly a wildfire. She began acting in 2001. Acting wasn’t her first choice; she was a ballet dancer which she studied in her youth but due to her skin color as there are no blacks in the peak of ballet dancing in France, they are all white and are expected to look alike, so Sara settled for acting. To prepare her for this, Ms. Martins studied theater and later acting in the prestigious French National Academy of Dramatic Arts.

Does Sara Martins have a Husband? Is she gay?

At the moment, Sara Martins is not married and it seems she is not in any romantic relationship. There is no record that reveals who she has dated in the past. She keeps her personal life private. This is surprising for an industry that lives its life in the eye of the camera. She has managed to win over the bloggers. But because of her age, there are bound to be questions. The most asked question about Sara is whether she is gay. We are not sure but to the best of our knowledge, she is straight and she hasn’t done anything to raise serious questions on her sexuality.

Does she have babies? No. She seems to be single and focused on her career. However, we suspect that she is dating someone secretly; this is not new. Celebrities do this most of the time when they can. And they do not apologize for that as it is none of your business.

She has a rather low net worth

Sara started her acting in France, then made a some appearance across the channel in Britain before touching down America where all the big stars on earth come at some point in their careers. Sara has been paid in Euros, Pounds or Dollars, The matter of the currency is not the point here. The question is how stable is the net worth of Sara Martins? Many sources online but her net worth to be around 600 to 800 thousand dollars. Is that too little for an actress who started her career in 2001 and who has acted in three countries and in two of the richest continents for actors? Maybe, more than that, yes. If we take the troubles of thumbing at a calculator, you would see that she has earned less than fifty thousand dollars for every year she put in the acting career. All that fame, not so much money.
