1. Queen Latifah: $60 million
When thinking about Queen Latifah, not many people think about her as a rapper, but Dana Elaine Owens started her career as a rapper, and later became known for her many accomplishments as a singer, songwriter, actress, model, television producer, record producer, comedian and talk show host.
Born March 18, 1970, Queen Latifah released seven albums throughout her music career titled, All Hail the Queen (1989), Nature of a Sista (1991), Black Reign (1993), Order in the Court (1998), The Dana Owens Album (2004), Trav’lin’ Light (2007) and Persona (2009).
Starting out as a beat-boxer, she then turned to rap about issues of black women, and then had a singing career. Queen Latifah has been dubbed the “Queen of Jazz-Rap” and also became the first female hip-hop recording artist to get nominated for an Oscar. Besides music, Queen Latifah is also very famous for her roles in the films, Bringing Down the House (2003), Taxi (2004), Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2005), amongst many others. She had her own talk show The Queen Latifah Show(1999-2001), which returned in 2013-2015. She is also a celebrity spokesperson for CoverGirl, with her own line for women of color called the CoverGirl Queen Collection. Queen Latifah also has a perfume line called Queen and Queen of Hearts. With so much under her belt, it is no surprise that Queen Latifah is number one on our Highest Paid Female Rappers of All Time list.
