It's not secret that Jennifer Lopez has come a long way from her simple days growing up in the Bronx. She rose to fame gradually, with her dance skills being the first of her many talents to be introduced to the world. She was a backup dancer, appearing as a 'fly girl' on the show In Living Color, and went from gig to gig, expanding her portfolio, and eventually becoming one of Hollywood's leading ladies. Now reaping the benefits of superstardom, and worth a jaw dropping $400 million, it seems there's nothing that JLo can't do. She has become what Stylecaster reports as a quadruple threat, dominating the world of music, dancing, movies, and producing. She has her own successful businesses that are not related to her talent as a performer, as well.
Music:
Jennifer Lopez earns top dollar when it comes to sales and streaming of her music. Her debut single, If You Had My Love was released to the world in 1999 and immediately soared to the top of the charts. She followed that up with On The 6, which was reported by Insider to have gone 3x platinum, selling a jaw dropping 3.42 units across the globe. She now has 8 studio albums under her belt, with well over 80 million albums sold.
When Jennifer Lopez records music, it sells... and it sells in abundance.
Tours:
After seeing such a huge response when it came to music sales, the next logical step for Jennifer Lopez was to get on the road for a tour and increase exposure and fan connectivity. She took home a cool $765,000 from her On The 6 tour, and that was just a taste of the success that was yet to come for the young star. According to Money Nation, her Dance Again world tour earnings shot up to $50 million. Her 5 tours combined are said to have earned Jennifer Lopez roughly $80 million, and based on her energy level and willingness to continue to entertain, there's no end in sight for this star, and she's likely to return for more.
Movies:
It's not often that a singer or dancer can overtake the big screen with success, but the incredible talents of Jennifer Lopez have proven that she is definitely capable. In fact, when it came to her roles on the big screen, she excelled.
Jennifer Lopez has starred in Selena, and films such as Maid In Manhattan, Hustlers, and The Wedding Planner, to name a few.
She has played a diverse range of roles, and has been declared by Variety as "the highest paid Latina film actress in history." She's said to have earned roughly $9 million per role.
Over the span of her career, Jennifer Lopez has earned well over $90 million for her movie appearances.
American Idol & World Of Dance
Being a judge on a hit reality television show definitely has its perks for both sides. When ABC clinched Jennifer Lopez as one of the judges on American Idol, dollar signs immediately began to flash before their eyes. Viewers that may not have otherwise tuned in to see the show were starting to watch just to see Jennifer Lopez take the stage.
Jennifer Lopez' wealth increased as much as their viewership did.
She was paid $12 million per season for her work on the show. That meant that sitting on the panel of judges earned JLo a cool $36 million to add to her already substantial net worth.
Fashion
Jennifer Lopez is a fashion icon in her own right. This initially stemmed from her innate ability to look impeccable in any outfit she chose, and before long, she became recognized for her unique, bold style and incredibly fit physique.
Poised to monopolize on her fashion status and add to her already substantial wealth, Jennifer Lopez founded her clothing line in 1998, and expanded to include swimwear, sunglasses, fragrances, and casual, urban attire.
Stylecaster reports that JLo has earned $300 million in revenue from her fashion brand alone.
Las Vegas Residency
Jennifer Lopez is among the lucky celebrities that has managed to clinch a deal for her very own Las Vegas Residency. In January of 2016, she glammed up and took the stage to officially take her reign as the entertainer that would dominate her residency. By the summer, she shattered records by selling an impressing $1 million in ticket sales, which was the highest grossing valuation that Planet Hollywood had ever experienced.
Stylecaster reports that; "Between June 2016-June 2017, Lopez made $38 million dollars, consequently landing her at the #11 spot on Forbes’ Highest-Paid Female Celebrities of 2017."
JLo Beauty
Jennifer Lopez has long been known for her flawless skin and glowing complexion. In 2018, she monetized on her stunning looks and seemingly ageless beauty by releasing her very own skincare line.
JLo Beauty carries its own healthy skincare regime with a series of products that claim to keep everyone's skin blemish free and as stunning as can be.
She endorses her beauty line personally on her social media outlets, and has even engaged her children in the promotion of the products, proving this is well suited for anyone. She makes millions of dollars on sales each year.
