For the past few years, ever since her 2012 marriage to Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana, Michael Jackson's most famous sister has been mostly off the radar, but that doesn't mean Janet Jackson's net worth has come under issues, but rather on the contrary.

It's unclear whether the singer and the Al Mana conglomerate co-owner had any prenuptial agreements that could make Janet Jackson's net worth grow even further if they were both to divorce - but, while it would help, the "That's The Way Love Goes" songstress definitely doesn't need her husband's money!

For about 25 years, the youngest child of a family of talents (most notably her brother Michael, considered the King of Pop and an innovator in the genre until his 2009 death), Janet Jackson's net worth comes from decades of hard work in the music industry, as well as a smaller career in acting.

Janet Jackson's net worth started to rise when she was only 16, when she got a contract with A&M Records and released her very first album, the self-titled "Janet Jackson" released in 1982, as she tried to step out of the shadow of her older brothers after Jackson 5 and their many successes.

What followed were years of hits that greatly improved Janet Jackson's net worth, including "Rhythm Nation" and "Design of a Decade" - where her contract with A&M Records ended in the mid 90s, the singer became the most expensive artist in the world when signing a multi-million dollar record deal with Virgin, which is calculated between 32 and 50 million dollars.

After years on top, she was in the eye of the storm following an infamous Super Bowl halftime performance with Justin Timberlake, where in the middle of the song he accidentally torn her outfit showing her breasts.

Now, seven years after the release of her latest studio album, "Discipline," the singer's embarking on a new project: the "Unbreakable" album, which will see her touring for the first time in years and, most importantly, it's the first album of her own label, Rhythm Nation Records.

Currently, Janet Jackson's net worth is listed as $175 million at Celebrity Net Worth.
