Jennifer Lynn Lopez
(born July 24, 1969) is an American actress, author, fashion designer,
dancer, producer, singer, and songwriter. She became interested in
pursuing a career in the entertainment industry following a minor role
in the 1986 film My little girl, to the dismay of her Puerto Rican
parents, who believed that it was an unrealistic career route for a
Hispanic. Lopez gained her first regular high-profile job as a Fly girl dancer on In loving color
in 1991, where she remained a regular until she decided to pursue an
acting career in 1993. She received her first leading role in the Selena biopic of the same name in 1997. Lopez became the first Latina actress to earn over $1 million for a role the following year, with the film "Out of sight".

With the simultaneous release of her second studio album J.Lo and her film The wedding planner in 2001, Lopez became the first person to have a number one album and film in the same week. Her 2002 remix album, J to the LO! The Remixes, became the first in history to debut at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, while her fifth studio album, como ama una ojer (2007), received the highest first-week sales for a Spanish album in the United States. With past record sales of 55 million
and a cumulative film gross of over $2 billion, Lopez is regarded as
the most influential Hispanic performer in the United States, as well as
its highest paid Latin entertainer. As of March 2014, she has an estimated net worth of $250 million. Along with pitbull and claudia lettei, she recorded "we are one(ole-ola)", which served as the official song of the 2014 fifa world cup
