Janet Damita Jo Jackson (born May 16, 1966) is a Grammy award-winning, Golden Globe, and Academy Award-nominated American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actress. Janet is the youngest child of the Jackson music family. She initially stepped into the limelight in the family`s 1974 Las Vegas production, 1976 television show, and later on her own as a television actress. She then released two modestly successful records, Janet Jackson and Dream Street, in the early 1980s. In an effort to establish her own identity apart from her famous family, Jackson teamed up with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis in the mid 1980s, creating a superstar-making partnership which has lasted to the present day. Jackson`s breakout album, Control (1986), led to the Grammy-winning albums Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989), janet. (1993), The Velvet Rope (1997), All for You (2001), and Grammy-nominated albums Damita Jo (2004) and 20 Y.O. (2006). All together, Janet has sold 75 million albums worldwide (25 million in US alone) and 70 million singles making her one of the best-selling female performers ever

In 2004, Janet Jackson ranked as the ninth most successful artist in the history of rock and roll according to Billboard.

In 2006, it was announced that Jackson was the "Most Searched on the Internet," and the "Most Searched for News Item," in the Guinness Book of World Records. In 2007, Janet was ranked the 7th richest woman in the entertainment business by Forbes Magazine, amassing a fortune of over $150 Million.
