What is Jennifer Lopez’s Net Worth? (Updated 2022)
Jennifer Lopez is an actress, singer, dancer, fashion designer, television producer, and businesswoman from the United States.
Jennifer Lopez’s career has spanned over 25 years, and she is now one of Hollywood’s most prominent A-list celebrities. Her Net Worth is $400 million as of this writing.
That makes her $50 million richer than her ex-boyfriend Alex Rodriguez, who has a Net Worth of $350 million. J-Lo and A-Rod had a combined Net Worth of $750 million when they were together.
In the early 1990s, she began appearing in theatrical roles on television and film. Her early projects were mostly failures, and it wasn’t until the late 1990s that she appeared in a commercially and critically successful film. That project, the biopic “Selena,” about the murdered singer of the same name, catapulted her to fame.
In 2010, she made a sort of comeback by joining the judging panel of “American Idol,” appearing in the commercially successful film “The Back-up Plan,” releasing a moderately successful album, launching her perfume line, and signing on as the face of L’Oreal’s hair care line.
She is now back on top as one of the world’s biggest stars.

Early Years
Jennifer Lynn Lopez was born on July 24, 1969, in New York City’s Bronx borough. Guadalupe Rodriguez and David Lopez, her parents, are Puerto Ricans.
She has a younger sister named Lynda and an older sister named Leslie. Her father was a night shift worker at an insurance company. Her mother was a stay-at-home mom.
When Jennifer was born, the family was living in a small apartment in the Castle Hill neighborhood. Her parents bought a two-story house a few years later.
Jennifer began singing and dancing lessons when she was five years old. Her parents encouraged their three daughters to put on shows at home, singing and dancing in front of each other and their friends, to keep them out of trouble. Lopez spent her entire academic career in Catholic schools.
She participated in gymnastics, ran track on a national level, and played softball for her high school. Lopez auditioned for and was cast in the low-budget indie film My Little Girl during her senior year of high school.
This experience convinced JLo that she wanted to be a famous movie star. Because “no Latinos did that,” her parents thought it was a “really stupid” idea. She enrolled in Baruch College to please her parents but dropped out after the first semester.
Career in Dancing
Lopez moved out of her parent’s house and into an apartment in Manhattan after they disagreed about her desire to pursue a career in dance and acting.
She quickly made appearances in regional productions of Jesus Christ Superstar and Oklahoma! Lopez was then cast in the chorus of Broadway’s Golden Musicals, which toured Europe for five months.
She went on to work as a dancer, singer, and choreographer on the Japanese television show Synchronicity. She was a backup dancer for the New Kids on the Block at the 18th Annual American Music Awards in 1991.
Soon after, she was hired as a Fly Girl dancer on In Living Color. She beat out 2,000 other applicants and relocated to Los Angeles for the position. JLo remained a regular cast member until 1993 when she decided to pursue a career as an actress.
Career in Acting
From 1993 to 1995, Lopez had minor roles in television shows and films. Her breakthrough film role came in 1995 when she was cast as the title character in the biopic Selena.
Jennifer portrayed the late Tejano singer Selena, who was assassinated by a former friend, employee, and fan club president. Jennifer went on to appear in several films, including Anaconda, Out of Sight, The Wedding Planner, and An Unfinished Life.
Lopez co-starred in the romantic comedy Gigli with Ben Affleck in August 2003. The film was a box office failure and is widely regarded as one of the worst films of all time.
The film’s poor reception was attributed to negative press before its release, as well as media attention focused on Lopez and Affleck’s engagement, which largely overshadowed the film.
Lopez later described this as her career’s low point. Lopez appeared in the film Jersey Girl with Affleck in March 2004. Within the first 15 minutes of the film, her character dies during childbirth. Following Affleck and Lopez’s split, it was speculated that “they may need to put Lopez in a coffin on the poster if they want anyone to come.”
JLo co-starred in the romantic comedy Monster-in-Law with Jane Fonda in May 2005. The marketing for the film emphasized Lopez’s “Gigli-and-tabloid-tarnished image,” and it was a box office success.
Lopez portrayed Detective Harlee Santos in NBC’s crime drama Shades of Blue in 2016, portraying a single mother and police detective who goes undercover for the FBI to investigate her squad.
Lopez starred in and executive produced the 2019 film Hustlers, which was inspired by a true story about a group of New York City strippers who con wealthy men.
Singing Profession
Lopez launched her musical career with her debut album “On the 6” in 1999. She has since released several studio albums, including one in Spanish. Her albums and songs have both spent significant time on the Billboard charts. This Is Me…
Then, Lopez’s third studio album was released on November 25, 2002. It was dedicated to her fiancé at the time, actor Ben Affleck. MTV News later described the album’s lead single “Jenny from the Block” as her most iconic song.
From 1999 to 2014, Lopez released eight albums, On the 6, J.Lo, This Is Me…Then, Rebirth, Como Ama una Mujer, Brave, Love?, and A.K.A.
She announced her Las Vegas residency concert show in May 2015, with the first of twenty initial dates on January 20, 2016. All I Have was held at Planet Hollywood’s Zappos Theater. Lopez agreed to a three-year extension of her residency in Las Vegas.
The residency paid well, and she performed 120 shows. The residency ended on September 29, 2018, after a three-year run that netted more than $100 million in ticket sales.
Jennifer Lopez performed the halftime show for Super Bowl LIV in Miami, FL on February 2, 2020, when the San Francisco 49ers faced the Kansas City Chiefs.
