Success.
In 2007, Forbes ranked Janet Jackson #7 on its list of The Richest 20 Women in Entertainment, estimating her net worth at $150 million. She's won a handful of Grammys and American Music Awards throughout her career, which has spanned a lengthy four decades -- pretty impressive for someone introduced to the scene when she was seven. Dupri is a producer and songwriter who was recognized among the top 10 richest people in hip hop in 2006, with a reported net worth of $60 million.

Attractiveness.
Janet's love affair with plastic surgery has been highly-publicized, including claims that she got breast implants and a nose job. While she looks pretty good for her 42 years, her weight has fluctuated considerably, and her appearance tends to be inconsistent. Jermaine may be successful, but he's not much to look at (though he does gain some points for style choices).

People

Popularity.
Last month, around 1.5 million people searched Google for information about Janet, enough to push her into the top 30 most popular celebs on our list. For his part, Jermaine scored 165,000 searches.

Concrete Loop

Staying Power.
Jackson and Dupri have been dating since 2002, but Janet has been married twice before. Her first husband was James DeBarge, but the couple had the marriage annulled after only a year. She was later married to director Rene Elizondo for nine years. She and Dupri haven't announced any plans to tie the knot. And according to Dupri, there's no baby on the way either:

Compatibility.
Jackson is a Taurus, and Dupri is a Virgo/Libra cusp. If he tends more toward the Virgo personality, these two should get along famously, thanks to their shared appreciation for security and devotion. If he's more of a Libra, his indecisiveness may clash with her subbornness. Hey -- you don't get to be Janet Jackson without some determination.
