She is worth over $300m. But Jennifer Lopez isn't the only millionaire in the family.
While appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, The Boy Next Door star revealed her mother Guadalupe Rodríguez won $2.4m while playing the slot machines at The Borgata Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
'This was years ago, this was like 10 years ago,' the 45-year old performer said. 'My mother's a huge gambler.'
