She was featured on the variety show “The Jacksons” and played Penny on “Good Times.” In the 1980s, Jackson continued to act on shows such as “Diff’rent Strokes” and “Fame,” before launching her solo singing career. In 1986, her album “Control” went platinum more than five times. Jackson won four American Music Awards and six Billboard Awards. Since that time, she released albums such as “Rhythm Nation 1814” and “Velvet Rope.” Throughout her career, Jackson has continued to take on acting roles in movies such as “Poetic Justice,” “Nutty Professor II” and “Why Did I Get Married.”
Jackson has won five Grammy Awards, 11 Billboard Music Awards, and 11 American Music Awards. In 2019, Jackson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Jackson’s net worth is valued at $190 million.
