Mary J Blige

American producer, songwriter, singer, and entrepreneur, Mary J Blige has a net worth of $20 million. She is known as an icon in the international music scene and pop culture. Blige was born in The Bronx, New York, and was raised in Savannah, Georgia. At the age of seven, she and her family moved back to New York. Her father was a jazz musician while her mother was a nurse. After dropping out of high school, she started a career in music.

For a brief time, she was part of a band. Her soulful cover of Caught Up in the Rapture by Anita Baker was sent to major record labels. She was then signed as a backup vocalist and is given credit as the company’s youngest signed artist and first female artist. As she soared high in her career, it was inevitable that she was drawn to personal issues. Thankfully, she overcame them already and managed not to damage her lifetime investment.
