Janet Jackson | New York Apartment | $30 Million

American singer, dancer, and actress Janet Jackson is a prominent figure in popular culture, noted for her socially conscious, sonically innovative records as well as elaborate stage shows. She began her career in the 1976 variety television series The Jacksons, eventually appearing in several other television shows throughout the 1970s and 1980s, such as Diff’rent Strokes, Good Times, and Fame. Following the release of her third and fourth studio albums Control and Rhythm Nation 1814, she signed with A&M Records in 1982 and became a pop icon.

Since then, Jackson has sold over 100 million records and became one of the best-selling music artists in the world. On the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, the singer-actress holds the record for most consecutive top-ten entries with 18. Over the years, Jackson has attained the pinnacle of success in the entertainment industry, increasing her net worth to hundreds of millions. One of the things she bought with her investment money was an apartment in New York City for $30 million, which is one of the highest prices paid for an apartment.
