Sep 12 2017 - 5:00am

Selena Quintanilla started gaining fame when she was 9 years old [1] as the lead singer of Selena y Los Dinos [2]. She had 14 songs that made it onto the Billboard Top Latin Songs [3] chart, so it's no wonder that she brought in a lot of money in her lifetime. When she was alive, it was estimated she was worth at least $10 million [4], according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Selena had two clothing boutiques that fans couldn't get enough of. She won a Grammy for her hit album Live! [5], which catapulted her into the American market, and was selling out huge venues for her concerts. Before she died, Selena had plans to become an international superstar [6] and was even working on an English album. To this day, her biopic is the 11th highest grossing biopic of all time [7].

Her family now continues to keep her estate. They released a highly anticipated MAC collection [8] inspired by Selena, not one but two wax figures [9] at Madame Tussauds museums, and God knows what else they have up their sleeves. Needless to say, Selena's legacy will continue to live on for years to come.
