From there, Lopez took a ton of acting roles and snowballed her career to where it is today. Since then, Lopez started her own clothing line, married and remarried 3 times, had some kids, was a guest judge on American Idol, and has made just a little over $400 million in the process. 

Shania Twain ($400 million)

Twain didn’t immediately hit it big, but when she did, the entire world started looking at her. Twain kickstarted her career with a self-titled album in 1993 that defied the conventions of country music at the time. For whatever reason, this album flopped and she was dumped from her record label until 1995 when she released “The Woman in Me” which exploded pretty much immediately and sold 4 million copies in the first year. Since then, Twain has been an idol to pop-country musicians all the way up to the present time.
