Introduction

Janet Jackson is an American professional singer, songwriter, actress, and dancer with an estimated net worth of $180 Million.

Jackson is a prominent figure in popular culture. She is the youngest child of the Jackson family. After signing a recording contract with A&M Records in 1982, she became a pop icon following the release of her third and fourth studio albums, Control (1986) and Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989). 

Net Worth History

When we first started tracking Janet Jackson’s net worth in 2019, her divorce from Wissam Al Mana had already been finalized. Jackson reportedly received a $200 million settlement from the divorce based on terms detailed in the couple’s prenuptial agreement. The settlement is responsible for a large portion of her net worth, with the rest coming from album sales, concert tours, and book deals. Janet Jackson’s net worth is approximately $180 Million in 2024.

Early Life

Janet Damita Jo Jackson was born on May 16, 1966, in Gary, Indiana. She is the youngest of ten children, the daughter of Katherine Esther and Joseph Walter Jackson. She began performing as the Jackson 5 when she was very young. 

Jackson performed at the MGM Casino on the Las Vegas Strip at age seven. A biography revealed her father, Joseph Jackson, was emotionally withdrawn and told her to address him solely by his first name as a child.

Music Career

Janet Jackson grew up with a family in the entertainment business. She recorded herself in the studio when she was seven years old. In 1976, Jackson began acting in the variety show The Jacksons. The following year, she bagged the main role as Penny Gordon Woods in the sitcom Good Times. 

When she was 16, she bagged a contract with A&M Records. Jackson dropped her debut album ‘Janet Jackson’ in 1982. The album peaked at number 63 on the Billboard 200 and number six on the publication’s R&B albums chart.

In 1984, Jackson released her second album ‘Dream Street’.

In 2015, Jackson initiated her record label, Rhythm Nation, thus becoming one of the first African-American female musicians to own a record label. Under it, she released a lead single ‘No Sleep’ which bagged the number one spot at Billboard and Twitter.

Jackson released her eleventh studio album ‘Unbreakable’ in October 2015. The album opened to positive reviews from the music critics and media channels. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming her seventh album to top the chart in the United States.

Other than being a musician, Jackson has also served as an entrepreneur and endorser. She became the first celebrity in the brand’s history to endorse the fashion line Blackglama for two years.

She even launched her own jewelry line. Also, she authored a self-help book ‘True You’ which chronicled her life and struggles. The book topped The New York Times’ Best Seller list.

James DeBarge Divorce

In 1984, Janet Jackson made headlines by eloping with R&B/soul singer James DeBarge at 18. However, the marriage didn’t last long, primarily due to DeBarge’s drug addiction and frequent disappearances. Jackson filed for an annulment eight months later, with the marriage officially ending in 1985. No significant financial settlement was reported, likely due to Jackson’s known secretive nature regarding her finances.

Rene Elizondo Jr. Divorce Settlement

Six years later, in 1991, Jackson remarried director and filmmaker Rene Elizondo Jr. and kept their marriage largely private. However, in 2000, their marriage ended when Elizondo filed for divorce, initially suing Jackson for $25 million in spousal support. He argued that his creative contributions to her music warranted significant compensation despite having signed a prenuptial agreement, which he claimed was signed under duress.

After three years of legal negotiations, the couple settled the lawsuit in 2003. Elizondo reportedly received around $10 million in addition to compensation for his legal fees.

Wissam Al Mana Divorce Settlement

Jackson’s third and most financially significant divorce was from Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana. The two married in 2012, and Jackson gave birth to their son, Eissa Al Mana, in January 2017. Just three months after Eissa’s birth, the couple announced their separation, citing irreconcilable differences.

Reports suggest that, according to Jackson’s prenuptial agreement, she was entitled to $100 million if she remained married to Al Mana for at least five years and an additional $100 million if they had a child. Therefore, it is believed that Jackson walked away with approximately $200 million. Although some speculated that Jackson’s third divorce was strategically timed, sources close to her insisted that it was not for financial gain. 

Real Estate

In 1998, Janet Jackson paid $2.8 million for a 2,094-square-foot, three-bedroom apartment overlooking Central Park in New York City. She owned the unit for nearly 25 years and listed it for sale in April 2022 with an asking price of $9 million. It sold in August for $8.8 million.

According to public records, Jackson had been paying between $43,000 and $47,000 in annual property taxes during the last few years of ownership. After considering the twenty-four years of property taxes and the agent listing fees, Janet potentially profited between $4.6 million and $4.9 million from the sale.

Early Life 

Hyland Deandre Jordan Jr. was born on July 21, 1988, in Houston, Texas, where he would later attend Episcopal High School and begin playing basketball.

During his junior year, Jordan transferred to Christian Life Center Academy, where he continued playing during his senior year and set the school’s record for the most blocks in a single game.

After graduation, Jordan was rated as a #8 prospect, and many schools attempted to recruit him, including Florida, Florida State, Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, Indiana, and Kentucky.

Jordan opted to attend Texas A&M, where he earned a spot on the Big 12 All-Rookie Team and declared for the NBA draft after just a year of playing for the university.

Career Overview

In the NBA, the Los Angeles Clippers selected Jordan as the 35th overall pick. In his first season, he excelled on the court, even achieving ten dunks, which only Dwight Howard and Shaquille O’Neal had done before.

Jordan signed multiple extensions with the Clippers, including a four-year extension worth $43 million in 2011 and another worth $80 million in 2015.

The Clippers matched the latter figure to retain Jordan after the Mavericks offered the amount to join them.

After playing for the Clippers from 2008 to 2018, Jordan joined the Dallas Mavericks for a single season but left without signing an extension to join the Brooklyn Nets.

In September 2021, Jordan signed with the Los Angeles Lakers, but he was waived in March 2022, causing him to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers for the remainder of the season.

However, Jordan didn’t opt to re-sign with the 76ers, and in July of 2022, he signed with the Denver Nuggets, who he has remained with since.

NBA Salary

In 2008, DeAndre Jordan signed a three-year rookie contract worth $2.1 million with the LA Clippers. The deal was fully guaranteed, and Jordan earned $550,000 in his first NBA season. His salary increased to $736,000 in 2009 and $854,000 in 2010.

In 2011, Jordan was re-signed by the LA Clippers under a four-year contract worth $43 million. Over the four years, he earned an average of $10.8 million/year.

In 2015, Jordan signed a four-year contract worth $87.6 million with the Clippers, which increased his average annual salary to $21.9 million. His stint with the Clippers ended in 2017, and since then, he has played with multiple teams, including the Mavericks, Knicks, Nets, Lakers, 76ers, and Denver Nuggets.

Thus far in his NBA career, DeAndre Jordan has earned $174.3 million.

That amount was earned between eight different teams as follows:

• LA Clippers: $106.7 million
• Brooklyn Nets: $19.6 million
• Detroit Pistons: $15.7 million

• New York Knicks: $9.1 million

• Philadelphia 76ers: $592 thousand

Endorsements

In 2011, at age 23, DeAndre Jordan signed a multi-year shoe endorsement deal with Under Armour. The exact dollar amount was never publicly disclosed.

During Jordan’s free-agent period in 2015, the NBA fined the LA Clippers $250,000 for offering him a $200,000/year sponsorship with Lexus automaker. The offer violated the NBA’s anti-circumvention rules that prevent teams from providing or organizing compensation to players outside of their contract.

In 2018, Forbes listed Jordan as one of the highest-paid athletes in the world, with an estimated endorsement income of $1 million/year.

Real Estate

Pacific Palisades Home

In 2015, Jordan paid $12.7 million for a brand new mansion in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of L.A., though he sold it a year later for only $11 million for reasons never made public.

Malibu Homes

After selling his initial mansion, Jordan paid $5 million for a Malibu home but did something completely unexpected several years later. DeAndre bought a new mansion in Malibu for $10 million and sold his previous one for $5.7 million. However, a year later, in 2020, Jordan listed his newest Malibu mansion for sale with an asking price of $9.95 million, about $50k less than he initially paid.

While we’re not sure of the reason behind DeAndre’s interesting real estate choices, we suppose if you have a net worth like his, spending millions on new mansions every few years is the equivalent of buying a new pair of shoes for most people.

Estimated Net Worth
