With that [Instagram caption](https://www.instagram.com/p/Buzz2J8ADNB/) from Alex Rodriguez, the former Major League Baseball superstar announced his engagement to entertainment icon Jennifer Lopez. The J-Lo and A-Rod coupling has been fascinating the masses for years, and now "J-Rod," as [*Vanity Fair*](https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/10/jennifer-lopez-alex-rodriguez-cover-story) dubbed the couple in a 2017 cover story, is on the path to becoming an official married couple. Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez got engaged over the weekend on a getaway to the Bakers Bay resort in the Bahamas while celebrating their two-year anniversary, the [*Miami Herald*](https://www.miamiherald.com/miami-com/news/article227372854.html) reported. The engagement ring Jennifer Lopez received from Alex Rodriguez features an enormous diamond, estimated by experts to be between 11 carats and 15 carats and worth as much as [$5 million](https://money.com/jennifer-lopez-alex-rodriguez-engagement-ring-cost/). A $5 million price tag would not make it the [most expensive celebrity engagement ring](https://www.worthy.com/blog/for-what-its-worth/top-15-most-expensive-celebrity-engagement-rings) of all time, but it's certainly in the conversation. Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez can afford the luxury: They have been among the highest-paid celebrities in their respective fields, and each has a net worth that's easily in the hundreds of millions of dollars. What's the combined net worth of Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez? By most accounts, A-Rod and J-Lo won't be worth $1 billion when they get married, but they could very well hit that mark in the near future. Jennifer Lopez, now 49, earned an estimated $47 million in 2018, according to [*Forbes*](https://www.forbes.com/profile/jennifer-lopez/#716d15c86cc1). J-Lo makes money in a variety of ways, including [sales of her music](https://www.businessinsider.com/how-a-rod-and-jlo-make-and-spend-their-millions-2018-12), concert tickets during her long-running residency in Las Vegas, appearances in TV and movies, and loads of endorsement deals. She was earning $12 million to $20 million to host *American Idol*, and back in 2012, Lopez topped the [*Forbes* Celebrity 100 List](https://www.forbes.com/sites/jennagoudreau/2012/05/16/how-jennifer-lopez-climbed-to-no-1-on-the-forbes-celebrity-100-list/#42e974a54834), pulling in $52 million that year. According to [Celebrity Net Worth](https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/singers/jennifer-lopez/), J-Lo's net worth is an estimated $400 million. Jennifer Lopez's boyfriend — make that fiancé — Alex Rodriguez, 43, was the highest-paid player in Major League Baseball for years. When he [retired in 2016](https://www.mlb.com/news/alex-rodriguez-to-retire/c-194038578), following a major scandal in which he was [suspended for an entire season](https://www.si.com/mlb/strike-zone/2014/01/11/alex-rodriguez-suspended-for-162-games) for violating the league drug policy, A-Rod was a three-time MLB MVP and ranked fourth all-time for [most home runs](https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/HR_career.shtml), with 696 over the course of his 22-year career. A-Rod signed a historic [10-year, $252 million contract](https://www.foxsports.com/ohio/gallery/mlb-richest-contracts-largest-deals-giancarlo-stanton-miguel-cabrera-alex-rodriguez-pujols-111714) with the Texas Rangers in 2001, and that deal was renegotiated into a [10-year, $275 million contract](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2019/02/19/manny-machado-biggest-mlb-contract-ranks/2916808002/) after he was traded to the New York Yankees. Both were the biggest MLB contracts ever at the time. [*Forbes*](https://www.forbes.com/pictures/mli45fgmmj/16-alex-rodriguez/#6ac3809c2ead) has ranked Alex Rodriguez as the 16th highest-paid pro athlete of all time, earning some $600 million during his career. Those earnings are before taxes and don't necessarily translate directly to net worth, however. [Celebrity Net Worth](https://www.celebritynetworth.com/articles/entertainment-articles/whos-richer-alex-rodriguez-jennifer-lopez/) claims that A-Rod's net worth was about $300 million as of 2017. Add up the figures, and the combined net worth of Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez is roughly $700 million — and could be higher. A-Rod and J-Lo are known for being very affectionate and open about how much they adore each other. [*People*](https://people.com/celebrity/a-rod-instagram-boyfriend-moments-jlo/) called Rodriguez "the ultimate husband-to-be" for the way he lovingly documents their relationship on Instagram. Both J-Lo and A-Rod are also known for being savvy in the business world, racking up success as entrepreneurs and investors. Jennifer Lopez's 2014 memoir, *[True Love](https://www.amazon.com/True-Love-Jennifer-Lopez/dp/0451468694)*, is full of [career advice](https://money.com/jennifer-lopez-true-love-career-advice/), including some thoughts on how mistakes can fuel future success: "It took a long time, but I finally figured out that I wouldn’t have half the instincts or insights I’ve had as an artist over the years if not for those screwups," she wrote. When he was just 26, Alex Rodriguez [founded AROD Corp.](http://fortune.com/2017/07/23/a-rod-new-york-yankees-baseball-business/), a real estate and investing group that now owns and manages 10,000 multi-family units in 11 states. A-Rod has been a guest "shark" on the entrepreneur show [*Shark Tank*,](https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/301081) and fairly early in his career he struck up a [friendship with Warren Buffett](https://money.com/warren-buffett-alex-rodriguez-a-rod-investing-advice-cash/), the investing genius currently worth about $82 billion and ranked as the third-richest man in the world. Alex Rodriguez has been a guest speaker at the [Stanford Graduate School of Business](http://gsbsic.stanford.edu/2018-speakers), and recently A-Rod and J-Lo paired up to give a [special presentation to students](https://us.hola.com/celebrities/2019011215964/jennifer-lopez-alex-rodriguez-second-act-stanford/) at the esteemed university. Before Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez got engaged, they made a few real estate moves that perhaps should have tipped off the public that they were heading towards the altar. In January, the couple put their 4,000-square-foot [Park Avenue apartment in Manhattan](https://ny.curbed.com/2019/1/11/18178711/jennifer-lopez-alex-rodriguez-432-park-avenue-condo-for-sale) up for sale for $17.5 million. J-Lo and A-Rod purchased the apartment just one year earlier, at a reported price of $15.3 million. And just a few weeks ago, J-Lo and A-Rod bought a [beach house in Malibu](https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/jennifer-lopez-alex-rodriguez-buy-jeremy-piven-malibu-home), California, for $6.6 million. The 4,400-square-foot Malibu home has four bedrooms — each with its own direct ocean view — and the previous owner, actor Jeremy Piven, had made $1.5 million worth of renovations before putting it on the market. ## Interested in trying to increase your net worth? ### Robo-advisors are quickly becoming mainstream, which is good news for consumers who are looking for low-cost financial advice.
