Terra Jolé may be only 4 feet 2 but she is most certainly a formidable force to be reckoned with. She first burst onto our screens in 2014 on the TV show Little Women: LA, chronicling the lives of a group of women with dwarfism based in Los Angeles.
The show followed the relationships, lives, and dramas of the women and Terra soon became the breakout star. Known for her fiery, straight-talking personality, when it comes to telling it like it is, no one does it better than Terra. Since her debut on the show, Terra has been in demand, writing books, appearing on Dancing with the Stars as well as lots of other ventures. What some may not know is Terra was already a star of sorts prior to appearing on the show, having performed on stage with stars such as Miley Cyrus and guest-starring on the film Jackass 3D. Terra has amassed quite a fortune from her showbiz career and has many strings to her bow. Let's take a closer look.

2 Entrepreneur
Terra really is unstoppable, almost like a pocket powerhouse. Alongside all her other fingers in all her other pies, she has also launched her own wines. The first one named Black Girl Moscato caused a little controversy on the show with her co-star Tonya, who objected to the name. However, Terra was unrepentant and refused to change it. The latest wine is Mini Mama Moscato.
1 Busy Life, Happy Wife
Despite all of her achievements and her full Resume, one of the most important things to Terra is family. She has been happily married to fellow Little Women LA star, Joe Gnoffo, since 2015. The type of dwarfism that Joe has is Pseudoachondroplasia, the same as son Grayson. Their daughters have the same type as Terra, Achondroplasia dwarfism and newest addition, Magnolia, will be tested to see if she also has Pseudoachondroplasia dwarfism. Prior to being with Terra, Joe dated Little Women: NY star Lila Call. Terra and Joe are proof that filming, living and working together can work!
