Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez moved out of her home when she was 18; when she wanted to be a dancer, and her mother wanted her to go to college. She slept on the sofa of her dance studio. Today she is one of the most successful singers (over 60 million sold) and businesswoman. She has a huge fan following worldwide and is worth an estimated $400 million as of 2014.
