Jennifer Lopez | Cosmetics / Clothing

From the humble beginnings in the Bronx borough of New York City, powerhouse singer and actress Jennifer Lopez has conquered the stage and the screen for almost 30 years. She began her career as a Fly Girl dancer in the sketch comedy series In Living Color and now has sold more than 80 million records.

In 1998, Lopez launched her own range of clothing, swimwear, fragrances, and cosmetics (Inglot), and by 2004 the company had earned about $300 million in sales, making her the 19th on Fortune magazine’s richest people under 40. From L’Oreal and Gillette to Gucci and Tous Jewelry, L’Oreal continues to have profitable endorsements, adding an extra $58 million to her bank account. Lopez also has a remarkable portfolio of properties, often with multi-million dollar residences on both eastern and western coasts of the United States. One of her most recent investments in real estate is a penthouse apartment in New York City for $22 million in 2014.
