She released her debut album All Hail the Queen on Tommy Boy Records in 1989 at age 19, featuring the hit Ladies First.

How Queen Latifah makes her money

Television is a major pillar. Leading Living Single, hosting The Queen Latifah Show in two runs, starring in Star and headlining five seasons of The Equalizer on CBS have given her years of series work.

Film roles add studio paychecks. From supporting parts in Juice and Jungle Fever to leads in Bringing Down the House, Beauty Shop and Last Holiday, plus ensemble hits like Chicago, Hairspray and Girls Trip, she has worked steadily in movies for decades.

Music remains a foundation, from her gold-certified rap album to the Grammy-nominated Trav'lin' Light, a headlining Hollywood Bowl concert in 2007 and her Super Bowl halftime appearance as the first rapper to perform in one.

Producing gives her a share of what she creates. Her Flavor Unit Entertainment was credited on Scream: Resurrection, she produced and starred in The Perfect Holiday, she co-produced Bessie, and she has signed a deal with Audible.
