What Is Jennifer Lopez’s Net Worth? Here’s How the Pop Star Built Her Massive Fortune

It’s no secret that Jennifer Lopez (whose net worth is a whopping $400 million, might we add) is one of the hardest working women in the business. After starting off as a Fly Girl dancer on In Living Color, the actress, singer and entrepreneur skyrocketed to fame in 1997 by starring as Tejano singer Selena in the self-titled biopic. Eight (almost nine) albums and more than 120 movies, TV shows and music videos later, J.Lo is officially a pop culture icon, having released catchy bops like “Let’s Get Loud” and fun rom-coms like The Wedding Planner and Marry Me (which came out in February 2020).

And, the “If You Had My Love” singer continues to make headlines, from the drama-inducing 2020 Superbowl performance with Shakira to her much-talked-about wedding to Ben Affleck in August 2022. Plus, her latest Netflix movie, The Mother, quickly became the number three movie to trend in the U.S. shortly after its premiere on the streaming platform. While also being the mother to her 15-year-old twins Emme and Max, Lopez has managed to stay booked and busy. From her skincare line JLo Beauty to her new cocktail brand Delola, she continues to prove that she can simply do it all.

So naturally, we want to know about Jennifer Lopez’s net worth and how exactly she earned her fortune. Read on for all the details, from her partnerships to her time on American Idol.

Remember 2002, when J.Lo’s brand-new Glow fragrance was all the rage? It wound up becoming the best-selling fragrance in the U.S. And not only that, but it also inspired hundreds of other celebrities to dip their toes into the beauty industry.

The entrepreneur released another fragrance called Still Jennifer Lopez and launched two fashion brands: J.Lo by Jennifer Lopez and Sweetface. Per Time magazine, both fragrances and clothing lines brought in more than $300 million in revenue in 2004, which made her the 19th richest person under 40 at the time.

Capitalizing on the success of Glow, J.Lo also launched her own skin care line, JLo Beauty in 2021. Given that so many fans (us included) have been dying to know the secret to her glowing skin, we get the feeling she’s making some serious bank through this brand.

While appearing on PEOPLE (The Show!) back in December 2020, Lopez shared that JLo Beauty has been years in the making. “I think I’ve been thinking about it for about 20 years. Everywhere I went, I felt like everybody was always asking me about my skin. And as I got more mature, the questions came more often,” Lopez revealed. “It was actually very nice, but I realized that it was almost like an obligation. Like I had to put out a skincare line for everybody who was asking.”

Lopez surprised fans in April 2023 when she released a brand-new advertisement for her low-calorie alcohol line called Delola. In the promo video that she shared on her Instagram page, the “Get Right” singer can be seen enjoying a sparkling glass of Delola while standing in a tropical setting. Lopez wrote in the caption, “The secret is out!!! I’m proud to share with you @DELOLA … my new collection of unique, mixology-level ready to enjoy spritzes. More is #OnTheJLo. Let’s live the #DelolaLife together.”

In an exclusive interview with People magazine, J.Lo shared the inspiration behind her new business. “I love to entertain. I love throwing parties at my house. I’m always the first one on the dance floor at all of the industry events and at times, on vacation, dancing on the table. That is kind of who Lola is,” she told the outlet. 

While she shared she only drinks occasionally, Lopez shared that crafting the flavor of the cocktail was very important to her. “I'm not a huge alcohol whatever-alcohol drinker, so it needed to be something that was really pleasant tasting. I loved the idea of creating something a little more healthy, a little bit more to my taste with kind of healthier ingredients and being gluten-free,” she said. 

On top of her successful music and acting career, Lopez has made millions through several brand partnerships. So far, she has worked with Versace, Pepsi, Gucci, Coach, Fiat and Goli Nutrition—just to name a few.
