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 is Filthy. Stinkin’. Rich. (Uh, even though she didn’t get paid to perform—more on that in a moment.)
With a career spanning more than two decades that highlights her talents in singing, acting, and dancing (love a good triple threat!), J.Lo is literally the GOAT. 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 J.Lo 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 the launching pad for the rest of J.Lo’s career and helped her become the first Latina woman in Hollywood to make more than $1 million on a single film. Impressive!
J.Lo’s been pretty busy making money in the decades years since then. If you’re curious about how much, here’s a lil breakdown of J.Lo’s money moves that 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 in THIRTY-NINE movies and 19 television programs??? Welp, you do now! J.Lo’s latest film, Hustlers, made a whopping $100 million worldwide as of October, meaning that it’s likely made way more moola since then. You know, 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 went triple platinum and sold more than 8 million copies worldwide. J.Lo has released seven more albums (!!!) since then, which in total have sold more than 75 million copies.
Oh, and let us 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 $101.9 million, making her Vegas residency the sixth highest-grossing residency of all time and the top grossing residency by a Latin artist.
Kay, a Note on the Super Bowl
J.Lo and Shakira (who co-headlined the halftime show) made $0.00. 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.”
I know you’re currently like GIVE J.LO HER MONEY, but here’s the thing. The artists who perform at the Super Bowl get a major platform and can expect to see a huge increase in music sales post-show. In Jennifer’s case, Spotify said her streams soared by 335 percent afterward.
Did You Know She Designs Clothing and Makes Perfumes?
I mean, duh. What celebrity doesn’t have a fragrance at this point? But unlike other stars, J.Lo has 25 different scents that make up her insanely lucrative $2 billion fragrance franchise, WWD reports. She released her newest fragrance, Promise, in September last year.
And if you want an outfit to go with that fragrance, don’t worry—J.Lo’s gotchu! She has a line of womenswear that’s available for purchase at Kohl’s and Macy’s.
She’s Already Made So Much Money This Year
Okay, before the whole world shut down, J.Lo came out with a ton of new projects that were set to make her a lotta money. On top of that impressive shoe line she designed with DSW, she also starred in a Versace fashion campaign and is now the face of Coach. Even with the unfortunate 2020 lawsuit that could cost her, that translates to $$$!
Yeah...About Alex Rodriguez
J.Lo and A-Rod are no longer a couple *sobs*, but! If she did marry him, she would've been the wife of the 17th highest-paid pro athlete of all time, according to Celebrity Net Worth, who determined his net worth to hover around the $300 million mark in 2017. Ho hum.
Don't get too sad, though—J.Lo is reportedly still in possession of the $1.8 million engagement ring A-Rod proposed to her with back in 2019. If she gets to keep it—which is somewhat likely since TMZ's sources said they've exchanged "massive amounts of jewelry"—that'll just make her another $1.8 million richer, I guess.
So, What’s Her Total Net Worth?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, J.Lo’s net worth is $400 million. 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 less than 0.5 percent of that annually. But it’s okay, I am fine!
That said, please excuse me while I weep over my empty wallet and J.Lo laughs her way to the bank.
