Plus, shes always wearing gorgeous designer clothes , going on stunning vacations with her main squeeze Alex Rodriguez , and most recently, dropping a cool $6.6 million on a Malibu beach house she calls a "fixer upper." So it's pretty safe to say that "Jenny from the block" has officially become "Jenny on her way to the bank."

J. Lo has made a boatload of money over her career, and she continues to rake it in ( Forbes estimates that she made $47 million in 2018 as of July...meaning she still had half the year left to make even more). Heres how she got so rich-and what her net worth is now:

J. Lo has been dancing since practically forever (she started taking dance lessons when she was five, per IMDb ). By the time she was 18, she was working in a law firm by day so she could afford to do dancing jobs at night.

J. Lo eventually got her big break when she was offered a job as a fly girl (a.k.a. a troupe dancer) on In Living Color, a sketch comedy series that was huge in the '90s. After that, she landed a gig as a backup dancer for Janet Jackson.

Being J. Lo, she decided she wanted to branch out into film and ended up landing a role as "Young Maria" in the Jimmy Smits movie, My Family. It wasnt a massive part, but she snagged some decent screen time.

But J. Los movie career exploded after she landed the coveted starring role of Tejana singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez in the 1997 movie, Selena, a gig that paid her $1 million, according to IMDb . (Btw, she also earned a Golden Globe nomination for her role.)

She followed that up with roles in blockbuster films-Anaconda, Out of Sight, and The Wedding Planner, to name a few-and started to earn massive paychecks like $9 million plus per role.

J. Lo released her debut album in 1999, which had hit singles like "If You Had My Love" and "Waiting for Tonight." It went platinum within two weeks, according to Biography . She followed that up in 2001 with the album J. Lo, which hit No.1 on the pop charts. And with that, J. Los title as a triple threat was solidified. She's made eight albums so far.

Then, there's the tour $$. J. Lo made $765,000 touring to support On the 6, and that jumped up to more than $50 million for her 2012 Dance Again World Tour, according to Money Nation .

Shes a fashion designer (you can check out her clothing line, The Jennifer Lopez Collection , at Kohls), and has her own makeup line called Inglot .

She also had a three-year Las Vegas residency that made more than $100 million in ticket sales, per People .

And, of course, J. Lo earned tons of cash working as a judge on reality TV competition shows like American Idol (she made somewhere between $12 and $20 million per season, according to Forbes ) and World of Dance , where shes a judge and executive producer. (Cha-ching.)

According to Celebrity Net Worth , J. Lo is now worth a reported $400 million. And, if she keeps hustling the way she always has, this number will only increase.
