Queen Latifah knows what it means to fight her way to the top, especially as a woman in male-dominated industries. In 2017, she spoke on a panel for Tina Brown's Women in the World Summit and got candid about the music industry.

"When you get to a record company and you realize that you're not getting the same marketing dollars as your male counterparts in the same business — you're already fighting," Queen Latifah explained, according to HuffPost. "You're fighting, number one, to be a female rapper. You're fighting to get the same dollars and marketing that your male counterparts would get, an uphill battle. I was always fighting from the beginning, so getting in a comfortable position to fight was no big deal — let's go, who want it?"

This fighting spirit has certainly taken her right to the top, with a whopping net worth of $70 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. That's an amazing accomplishment and, from the looks of things, Queen Latifah does not plan on stopping any time soon.
