Three words: Jennifer freakin’ Lopez. Is that enough to get your attention? Great! Because I am here to let you know that 2020’s Super Bowl halftime show performer and 2022’s most iconic bride is Filthy. Stinkin’. Rich.
With a career spanning more than two decades that highlights her talents in singing, acting, and dancing, J.Lo is literally a living legend. She got her start back in 1991 when she auditioned for and secured a role on In Living Color as a dancer before moving on to become a backup dancer for THE Janet Jackson.
But because the celeb has always been ambition personified, she wanted more from her career as an entertainer. Enter: 1997’s Selena, in which J.Lo gave a stunning performance playing the late singer Selena Quintanilla. If you know anything about this film, you’ll know it served as a launching pad for the rest of J.Lo’s career and helped her become the first Latina woman in Hollywood to make over $1 million on a single film. Impressive is an understatement!
And in case you were wondering, J.Lo’s pretty much been busy making money in the decades since then, TYVM. If you’re curious about exaaaaactly how much, here’s a lil breakdown of her money moves, which will have you filling up your empty wallet with a pool’s worth of tears.
First of All, J.Lo’s Been in a Sh*t Ton of Projects
Did you know that J.Lo has been over FORTY movies and TWENTY television programs??? Whelp, you do now! J.Lo’s 2019 film, Hustlers, made a whopping $100 million worldwide as of October of that year, meaning it’s likely made way more moolah since then. Honestly, not too shabby for something she both produced and starred in.
Her Music Endeavors Make Bank Too
Ever heard of a little album called On the 6? Duh, of course you have! J.Lo’s debut record spawned some of your favorite bops like “Waiting for Tonight,” “If You Had My Love,” and “Let’s Get Loud.” The record *also* just so happened to go triple platinum and sold more than 8 million copies worldwide. And because she literally just can’t seem to stop releasing hit after hit, the singer has released eight more studio albums (!!!) because, which, in total, have sold more than 75 million copies.
P.S. Her latest project This Is Me...Now not only resulted in an iconic album, but it fully inspired a movie *and* an entire tour (which has since been canceled, womp), meaning the celeb is likely making a buncha $$$.
Watch ‘This Is Me...Now: A Love Story’ on Prime Video
Oh, and let’s not forget about her residency! Back in 2016, J.Lo embarked on her All I Have Las Vegas residency, which spanned 121 shows through September 2018. It earned her a totally casual $101.9 million, making her Vegas residency the sixth highest-grossing one of all time and the top-grossing residency by a Latin artist in 2018. *cue the applause*
’Kay, a Note on the Super Bowl
J.Lo and Shakira (FYI, both singers co-headlined the halftime show in 2020) made $0.00 for their literal watershed performance. At least from the NFL, which has a general rule of not paying performers. To quote an NFL spokesperson who chatted with Forbes: “We do not pay the artists. We cover expenses and production costs.” Mkay, noted!
Now, I know you’re currently like GIVE J.LO HER MONEY, but here’s the thing: The artists who perform at the Super Bowl not only get a major platform on one of the world’s biggest stages, but they can also expect to see a huge increase in their music sales post-show. In Jennifer’s case, Spotify said that her streams soared by 335 percent afterward. So fine, I guess. I’ll allow it!
Did You Know She Makes Perfumes and Beauty Products?
I mean, duh. Which celebrity doesn’t have a fragrance at this point? But unlike other stars, J.Lo has 32 different scents that make up her insanely lucrative $2 billion fragrance franchise, WWD reports. The outlet also reported that JLo Beauty had net sales of $75.4 million in 2022.
Btw, the A-lister released her newest fragrance, Limitless, earlier this year:
She Made So Much Money in 2022
Like, that year J.Lo came out with a ton of new projects that def made her a lotta money. On top of that impressive shoe line she designed with DSW, she also became an investor and the chief entertainment and lifestyle officer of Richard Branson’s cruise line, Virgin Voyages, and was even the face of Coach’s Spring 2022 campaign with Megan Thee Stallion. Truly all I see is 💸💸💸 for the A-lister, but I, for one, am far from mad about it!
So...About Her Divorce From Ben Affleck
TMZ reports that Ben and Jen didn’t sign a prenup when they got married in 2022, which could make their divorce kinda complicated. First of all, J.Lo “waived spousal support and is asking the judge to deny Ben such support as well.” So—assuming Ben is on board—that part is pretty simple.
But because of the lack of prenup, everything Ben and J.Lo earned during their marriage is “community property”—including earnings from their latest movies like Air, The Instigators, Shotgun Wedding, The Mother, and Atlas—not to mention any earnings from sponsored content and brand deals. They also have to sell (and split the earnings from!) their $68 million mansion.
All that said, Ben and Jen’s divorce likely won’t impact her net worth that much, because—as you’re about to find out—she’s next-level rich.
So, What Is Jennifer Lopez’s Total Net Worth in 2024?
Oh, just a whopping $400 million according to Celebrity Net Worth. Furthermore, J.Lo allegedly rakes in $40 million per year, which is honest to god so depressing for me because I, a mere mortal, make way less than 0.5 percent of that annually. But it’s okay, I am fine! It’s totally fine!
That said, please excuse me while I weep over my empty wallet and J.Lo laughs her way to the bank.
