Janet Jackson’s Net Worth Proves Why She’s the Queen the Pop—Here’s How Much She Makes Today

As one of the most important pop artists of our time, it only makes sense that Janet Jackson‘s net worth is as impressive as it is today. Of course, it wasn’t always this way, as Janet has faced her fair share of struggles in the industry—be it growing up in the shadow of her older brother Michael or her infamous Super Bowl Halftime show performance.

Janet Jackson, who was born on May 16, 1966, in Gary, Indiana, is the tenth and youngest child of the famous Jackson family. Her brothers Michael Jackson, Jackie Jackson, Tito Jackson, Jermaine Jackson
and Marlon Jackson made up the Jackson 5, a musical group founded by their father, Joe Jackson. Not long after her brothers signed a record deal with Motown in March 1969, Janet’s own musical career kicked off. She began performing on the family variety show, The Jacksons, in 1976, before going on to act in other projects and sitcoms throughout the ’70s and ’80s like Good Times, Diff’rent Strokes and A New Kind of Family.

In 1982, Janet’s father and family manager, Joe, landed her a recording contract with A&M Records. Still just a teenager at the time, Janet went on to release her first two albums Janet Jackson and Dream Street in 1982 and 1984, respectively, under A&M Records. After the release of her sophomore album, however, Janet stopped working with her family, telling the Boston Globe in 1997, “I just wanted to get out of the house, get out from under my father, which was one of the most difficult things that I had to do.” For her third album, Janet teamed up with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for an attempt at crossover pop success, while still incorporating elements of R&B, funk and industrial beats. The result was 1986’s Control, which sold over 10 million copies and quickly shot up to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Chart.

Janet’s next album, Rhythm Nation 1814, was even more successful, with many fans considering the record to still be her magnum opus today. Rhythm Nation peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and was certified sixfold Platinum after selling over 12 million copies worldwide. Her “Rhythm Nation” World Tour, meanwhile, became the most successful debut world tour in history. Following this massive success, Janet was dubbed the “Queen of Pop” and signed a new multimillion-dollar deal with Virgin Records, reportedly making her the highest-paid recording artist at the time. But can the same be said for Janet Jackson’s net worth today?

Since her Rhythm Nation days, Janet’s music style has continued to grow and change—and so has her net worth. For everything we know about Janet Jackson’s net worth and salary today, just keep on reading up ahead.

How much was Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl Halftime Show salary?

In 2004, Janet Jackson was chosen by the National Football League and MTV to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show alongside surprise guest, Justin Timberlake. Janet performed a medley of her hit singles, along with Justin’s “Rock Your Body” during the set. The performance was going well until a last-minute costume trick went wrong: Justin, who was only meant to rip off Janet’s top to reveal her bra underneath, accidentally tore through both layers of clothing and exposed the “Rhythm Nation” singer’s right breast to over 140 million viewers watching around the world.

The moment sent ripples through the media, with many blaming the incident on Janet herself. According to Rolling Stone, CBS forced Janet to make a public apology for the incident. The singer released a video apology, telling audiences, “The decision to have a costume reveal at the end of my halftime show performance was made after final rehearsals. MTV was completely unaware of it. It was not my intention that it go as far as it did. MTV, CBS, [and] the NFL had no knowledge of this whatsoever and unfortunately, the whole thing went wrong in the end. I apologize to anyone offended, including the audience, MTV, CBS and the NFL.”

Justin, for his part, initially shrugged off the criticism before releasing a brief statement of apology: “I am sorry that anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction during the halftime performance of the Super Bowl. It was not intentional and is regrettable.” Even after apologizing for what was ultimately an accident, however, Janet continued to face sexist and racist backlash which negatively affected her career prospects for years to come. (For more details, the 2021 documentary by The New York Times Presents, Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson, dives into the aftermath of this event on Janet’s career.)

Despite the intense scrutiny that followed Janet, many fans have wondered if she was at least compensated for the Halftime Show itself. However, it seems this moment occurred without any recompense for Janet. As it turns out, the National Football League doesn’t actually pay artists for performing during the halftime show. As a spokesperson for the NFL told Forbes in 2016, “We do not pay the artists. We cover expenses and production costs.” Instead, the NFL considers the halftime show as free advertising for artists, as they can often expect to see extra sales and streams following their performance—though the effect was largely more negative for Janet than even her guest star, Justin Timberlake.

What is Janet Jackson’s net worth?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Janet Jackson’s net worth is $190 million as of 2022, making her one of the world’s richest music artists today. Janet has amassed this net worth thanks to a career spanning over four decades, with over 185 million records sold worldwide.

Her songs—like “Rhythm Nation,” “Nasty,” “All For You,” and more—have landed her multiple record-breaking accolades throughout her career, including the record for most consecutive top-ten entries on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and the record as the only artist in history to have seven commercial singles from one album (off of her 1989 release, Rhythm Nation) to peak in the Top 5. Janet Jackson has since been inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, while also holding some of the most awards of any pop star in history, including five Grammy Awards, 11 Billboard Music Awards, 11 American Music Awards, and 8 Guinness World Records entries.

I Want The Office To Reopen Because I Miss Getting Dressed For Work

Remember the opening montage in The Devil Wears Prada, when all of the “clackers” are getting dolled up for work in luxury lingerie and hosiery, sample-size runway looks, designer heels and accessories galore? And they strut out of their chic Manhattan apartments with perfect makeup and polished hair and hail cabs to take them to their low-paying fashion editorial jobs?

Ugh, I yearn for that experience. I wish for it like a starry-eyed college kid with big-city dreams and mounting debt—or at least some semblance of it. The difference now is that I’m decades older, and though I have that fashion editorial job, it’s playing out across Zoom and Slack and unanswered emails because 22 months later, we’re still in a pandemic.

While I can’t say I ever related to the clackers—Andy’s sweater vest and bagel are more my speed—both offer the same energy. It’s that transformative feeling that happens when you get up in the morning, pick out an outfit that makes you feel like the best version of yourself, and step out into the world.

It is among the most minor of inconveniences and hardships brought on by the pandemic, but working remotely has stripped away a ritual that until 2020, I didn’t truly realize how much I enjoyed and relied on to conquer the day. Before the holidays, my employer announced it would postpone the mandatory “return to office” date set prior to Omicron dominating daily headlines. It was the appropriate decision to make as New York City sees new daily records for confirmed Covid-19 cases (and hospitalizations here just topped 10,000 for the first time in 20 months!), and it’s reflective of how the company has protected its employees and their families throughout the pandemic.

But behind the screen, I low-key felt deflated and alone in my disappointment. The new dresses, tops and tights I’ve joyfully acquired in anticipation of going back to work would continue to pile up on my overflowing bedroom chair.

Sure, commuting can be a pain, especially in NYC where subway crime is inching up to pre-pandemic levels. I also save money working remotely because I’m not buying $6 coffees or being tempted by the stores I pass by, but I confess, I love working in an office. I wish I could join the chorus of voices proclaiming how “WFH” has freed time for new hobbies, exercise routines and rest, but it turns out that I thrive in the curious world of office theater, including making a concerted effort to dress the part each day.

I work for a fashion media company, after all. It’s more than likely that anyone working here has some sort of appreciation for fashion and style even after they sign off for the day. Maybe they even feed off of it, like I do.

It is not like the stereotypical snobby, label-obsessed offices depicted in films, but the clothes people wear to work have the power to reveal glimmers of their personality—insights that are not as easily gleaned remotely. Veterans can be identified by their classic and seasonless style and unique accessories collected over the years. You can spot the millennials who’ve been influenced by brands and aesthetics born on Instagram, while recent college graduates have an enviably youthful knack for mixing thrifted threads with streetwear or whatever strikes their fancy.

Though attendance is not mandatory, the office reopened for employees who wish to come in, and more recently they’ve been encouraged to re-acclimate to the environment—like bagged goldfish adjusting to the water temperature in a new bowl. I jumped at the chance to return to work, plodding to the office most days since September 2020.

A group of “regulars” has formed from different brands and departments, bonding over a shared fondness for traditional work settings and responsibilities, like photo shoots and attending events, that require us to leave our homes. As a result, the office now feels like it’s our territory; individual offices and cubicles our own plots of land. Newcomers, who almost always wander around in bewilderment telling everyone they haven’t been back since March 2020, are viewed with caution and suspicion.

But this desolate land of few occupants has a laidback Summer Friday-type vibe compared to the pre-pandemic office, one that doesn’t call for dry-clean-only clothing or even ironing, for that matter. There are simply not enough people present to appreciate a sparkly pair of heels or a feather-trimmed blouse, much to my disappointment.

I often wonder if the same people who are now “regulars” were also the kids who eagerly looked forward to the first day of school. I know I was, carefully planning outfits in advance to the point where I had socks tucked into shoes and a week’s worth of clothes laid out. It is the same experience now as it was back then. Like most kids, I longed for summer break, but after lounging around in T-shirts and shorts I was ready to get back into clothing that matched, preferably with buttons and zippers.

Admittedly, I have taken advantage of the perks that come with doing my job remotely, including working in pajamas, which quickly lost its appeal within the first couple of weeks. I have, however, spent priceless time with my family and our pets as we all hunkered down at my parents’ house in Florida during the bleakest days of 2020. These moments are made even more precious as our beloved 18-year-old chihuahua brought all of us home again before he crossed the rainbow bridge a year ago.

As an adult, I’ve had the opportunity to create new rituals with my family—things I haven’t had the chance to do since I was a kid—like catching up on vampire TV shows with my brother (if you’re not watching What We Do In the Shadows, you’re missing out), walks with my mom at a nearby trail, and our daily mid-day coffee break.

By working remotely, I had the opportunity to finally help with the house projects that I normally never have time for during my typical whirlwind visits. I was also in a better position to help with expenses when my father was jobless like millions of other Americans in 2020.

I am painfully aware of how lucky and privileged I am to not only be allowed to work remotely and earn a paycheck for a job that I’m passionate about (in media, nonetheless) but also to do it without the loss and heartbreak millions have experienced due to Covid-19. I am sometimes paralyzed by the luck, anxiously waiting for the other shoe to drop. It doesn’t sit well with me that some of us, simply through a stroke of fate, are finding moments of enjoyment from a situation that has shattered the lives of so many around the world.

I don’t think I am alone in feeling an indescribable emotional cocktail of relief, guilt, gratitude, and hope when I got my first and second vaccines, and now booster. Relief that fewer people would die, guilt over the nearly 5.5 million worldwide who already have, gratitude for the vaccines, and hope for a return to normalcy—just basic, ho-hum normalcy. Because it’s not really about the fashion or the desire to peacock around the office. It’s about missing out on the daily nuances and routines like getting dressed for work that made life feel normal, or at least normal-ish.

The office will eventually reopen. And when it happens, I’m sure I’ll miss being able to mute certain colleagues. There inevitably will be days when I’ll wish I could cocoon myself in bed with my laptop, my phone and nothing more. But that’s not life and the pandemic didn’t happen so we could sit faceless and voiceless and increasingly detached behind a screen for 8-plus hours a day.

Getting up and dressed for work is just the first little step toward nabbing a good seat on the subway, the Starbucks baristas remembering my order, making afterwork plans and that wonderful sense of contentment when you finally return home from a long day at work and can relax in your pajamas.

For some, it took a global pandemic to take stock of what we have and find joy in the small moments and simple pleasures that make up a single day.

Olivia Rodrigo Is Making Micro-Mini Skirts A Thing Again

Personally, I’ve always been a midi skirt kind of gal. I love the way they flatter my figure, and they can be dressed up with heels or down with crisp white kicks depending on my plans for the day. They’re also easy to run around in—unlike my former arch nemesis, the mini skirt. Don’t get me wrong, I love the look, but talk about impractical! That said, it seems the mini skirt is having quite the comeback, and it’s even more mini than before. Behold, the micro-mini skirt, as beloved by none other than teen fashion queen Olivia Rodrigo.

Rodrigo’s style has been on point since the first time the bridge of “Driver’s License” brought a tear to my eye, but since she’s exploded into the spotlight, her wardrobe has only gotten better. A lover of Y2K aesthetics (of course), she’s managed to infuse a touch of Bratz doll flair into every look, whether she’s rocking a vintage slip, a crop top and jeans or a glittering David Koma gown on the red carpet. Yes, I’m referring to the AMAs look that still gives me goosebumps.

That said, there’s one wardrobe essential Rodrigo is all but known for: the micro-mini skirt. And if anyone can make minis cool again, it’s Olivia! Just this week, she took to the ‘Gram to post an envy-inducing OOTD, the star of which was a Heaven by Marc Jacobs camo-printed skirt.

Alllll the TikTok fashion girlies stan Heaven, Marc Jacobs’ Gen Z trend-driven diffusion line, and Rodrigo might as well be its muse. She rocked the skirt with a super-cropped patchwork cardi with XL sleeves, a white tank and Marc Jacobs Kiki Platform Boots, which have become her signature footwear of choice.

Honestly, as anti-mini skirt as I once was, Rodrigo’s look has won me over. Unlike the jean minis of my past, it seems the 2022 iterations are much higher-waisted (a.k.a. more flattering) and feature more of an A-line silhouette than the body-con black skirt I wore to every single bar in a five-mile radius of Washington D.C. in my college years. The look has evolved and elevated—now, mini skirts seem chic.

And if chic micro-minis are what you seek, look no further than then Miu Miu’s Spring Summer 2022 collection, which featured a bevy of deconstructed workwear looks that put the micro-mini in the spotlight. In fact, the Miu Miu versions are so micro, they make Rodrigo’s itty-bitty Heaven skirt look long!

Do I feel a bit weird crediting a trend that was alive and well in the early 2000s to someone who is only 18? Not really. Mini skirts have been out of style for quite some time, and it takes a big celeb to bring such a controversial garment back. Not only were mini skirts over-sexualized back in the day, but they were pretty impractical to wear. Don’t lie—you definitely wore leggings or biker shorts underneath so as to avoid an accidental flashing fiasco.

Between Rodrigo and Miu Miu’s latest runway, it’s safe to say mini skirts are back. And the shorter the better! Apologies to my fellow midi skirt fans—it appears we’ll all have to start showing some leg very, very soon.

Here’s Whether Brad Pitt Is Really Dating Lykke Li Amid Rumors They’re ‘Secretly’ Together

Lovers or friends? Brad Pitt and Lykke Li have fans wondering if there’s something romantic going on between them—but it seems that there’s no real truth to the dating rumors.

The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor, 58, and the “I Follow Rivers” singer, 35, sparked romance rumors after they were spotted out together at a restaurant in Hollywood. The rumors ramped up after a report by The Sun on January 27, 2022, which claimed that the pair are “secretly dating” and keeping their relationship “under the radar.” Following the speculation, however, multiple sources confirmed that the duo—who live next door to each other—are nothing more than friends.

As one source revealed to Us Weekly, “They are not dating, they are friendly neighbors, but nothing romantic is going on.” A separate insider who spoke to Page Six also noted that the pair met a few years ago and lost touch. “He hasn’t seen her in two years,” the insider claimed on January 27, 2022. “He met her a couple of years ago. [There’s] nothing negative. They are just not dating.”

Rumors began to circulate that Brad was dating the indie sensation when celebrity gossip account Deux Moi first began sharing anonymous tips about the duo being an item. And according to the source who spoke to The Sun, the rumored romance was working out “perfectly” for Brad. “Brad and Lykke have been able to fly under the radar so easily because they’re neighbors,” the insider alleged, adding, “It’s worked out perfectly for Brad, to have someone he likes living so close.” Of course, it seems these comments are off-base, as the Hollywood star isn’t officially off the market yet.

Still, that doesn’t mean Brad isn’t looking for love. The Golden Globe winner—who was married to Angelina Jolie from 2014 to 2016—“would dearly love to date again,” a source told Us Weekly in December 2021. “[He wants to] find that special someone to be with long-term,” the insider added at the time. But there’s just one problem: “The trouble is that he hates the process and how he can’t even step out for a friendly coffee without it being gossiped about.” Sounds familiar!

Understandably, Brad is still a bit hesitant to pursue love again after having his relationships “scrutinized” in the media for years. The actor, who was also married to Jennifer Aniston from 2000 to 2005 before moving on with Angelina, is now trying to stay “focused on family, charities and work” for the time being. “Those are his main priorities,” the insider said.
