Next year will mark 30 years since Jennifer Lopez's first movie role. Some people seem to forget that the "Booty" hitmaker was an actress before she was a singer.

Her two latest movies "The Boy Next Door" and "Home" proved to be huge profits for JLo.

TBND had a small budget of $4 million, but went on to make over 5x it's budget at the box office, with over $50 million made by the end of it's theatrical run. JLo was also a producer for TBND.

The animated "Home" pulled in a whopping $357 million @ the box office.

You can catch her next in the indie film "Lila & Eve", which recently premiered @ the Sundance film festival, costarring Viola Davis. That film also had a small budget of $4 million, so it won't be very difficult to make a profit off of. It was recently bought by major film studio, Samuel Goldwyn Films.

You can also catch her in the upcoming NBC drama "Shades of Blue"

Originally posted by FantasyRide wasn't she nominated for a Golden Globe?

Originally posted by ISlayForX Beyonce and Britney fans are always shading iconic artists. It's funny because both fanbases think their respective faves are above it all. The contradiction lol. Jlo is great, a real life busisness woman, not someone's wife, not someone's puppet. Back in 2004 E! Said she was worth $245 million dollars. Can't imagine how much she's worth now

Originally posted by Lethal Beyonce has had more success (higher overall gross) and acclaim (she was nominated for a golden globe for best actress and an Oscar for best original song) than JLo. Like someone earlier said, her net worth can't be close to $200 million or she would've made the top earning female list from Forbes.

Originally posted by DanceAgain I cant at this mess...Beyonces not even on JLo level when it comes to acclaim,sucsess and box office draw or impact on the big screen the delusion in your post And beyonce was NOT nominated for a oscar just stop. jennifers been in films that have been nominated for oscars And jennifers networth is around 400 million maybe more Shes earned well over 100 million of her movie pay cheques alone.
