We’ve all known about Janet Jackson since she played Penny from the TV
show, “Good Times.” She was adorable back then and then turned into a
teen beauty on “Different Strokes.” No one knew at that time that Janet
would go on to become one of the most popular and highest-grossing
performers in the world, but that’s just what happened. She also made a
ton of money in the process.
Janet Jackson has joined the exclusive billionaires club thanks to her
mega-successful albums, tours and acting roles, Variety reports. She
is now 47-years old with the looks of a 25-year old, newly married and
still performing.
According to the publication, Jackson has raked in a total of $260
million in album sales thanks to her hit albums Control (1986), Janet
(1993) and Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989), and another $81 million off music
and publishing fees. Her sold-out world tours have earned her another
$458 million, with an additional $81.5 million coming from tour
sponsorships and licensing fees.
And let’s not forget that Jackson is an actress too — her roles in The
Nutty Professor, The Klumps, Poetic Justice and For Colored Girls has
banked her a whopping $304 million.
Though Jackson of course isn’t the only billionaire in her marriage —
her husband, retail entrepreneur Wissam Al Mana (whom she married last
year in a private ceremony), is a billionaire all on his own.
Jackson joins the exclusive list of celebrity billionaires which
includes Madonna, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey.
Beautiful, Talented and Rich….what a combination!
