How does she make her money?

JLo got her start as a dancer most famously for being a Fly Girl on the hit show, In Living Color.

Shortly after, she decided to pursue acting.

Acting

The star got her first big role in 1995 when she portrayed Selena Pérez in the biopic, Selena.

Her real estate investments have made her quite a rich woman.

In 2002, JLo bought a beachfront mansion in Miami with over 1.2 acres of land.

This seven-bedroom, 13-bathroom home was purchased for an undisclosed amount but undoubtedly cost her a pretty penny.

In 2016, she purchased a $28million seven-bedroom estate on eight acres in Los Angeles’ chic Bel Air that she shared with her ex Alex Rodriguez.

In 2018, Jennifer and her ex co-bought a condo on NYC’s Park Avenue for $15.3million and later sold it for $15.75million.
