"Michael Jackson may be one of the most successful dead celebrities, but his sister Janet (who, of course, is alive and well) is doing pretty well herself.\r\nThe 47-year-old is officially a billionaire.\r\nAccording to Variety, Jackson, who is one of the best-selling artists of all time, has earned $458 million thanks to her successful concert tours, $304 million from acting roles in films like &amp;quot;For Colored Girls&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;The Nutty Professor II,&amp;quot; $260 million in album sales, and more than $81 million from tour sponsorships and licensing fees.\r\nAnd the &amp;quot;Control&amp;quot; songstress isn&amp;apos;t the only billionaire in her household. Jackson secretly married retail tycoon Wissam Al Mana, who&amp;apos;s made his fortune investing in the Middle East.\r\nAs for fellow celeb billionaires, Jackson joins a club with members including Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, J.K. Rowling, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, whose &amp;quot;Seinfeld&amp;quot; money helped &amp;#x2026; but whose main fortune came from her dad, billionaire Gerard Louis-Dreyfus, chairman of the Louis Dreyfus Energy Services.\r\nAt least Janet can feel good about the fact she earned her billion all by herself.\r\nMore Celebrity Features on Yahoo!:\r\nIs Chris Brown Justin Bieber&amp;apos;s New Bestie?\r\nBuy Olivia Newton-John&amp;apos;s Fab, Hurricane-Proof Florida Pad for $6.2M\r\nSee What Leonardo DiCaprio&amp;apos;s Dad Looks Like"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
