Madonna Louise Ciccone Ritchie, known artistically as Madonna, is an American pop singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, actress and author. She was born Madonna Louise Ciccone in Bay City, Michigan. Her mother, Madonna Louise (nee Fortin), was of French-Canadian descent (though born in Bay City), and her father, Silvio "Tony" P. Ciccone, was a first-generation Italian-American who worked as Chrysler/General Motors design engineer and whose parents originated from Pacentro. She is the third of six children; her siblings are Martin, Anthony, Paula Mae, Christopher, and Melanie.
After performing as a member of the pop musical groups Breakfast Club and Emmy, she began a career as a solo recording artist with the release of her self-titled debut album in 1983. She rose to stardom, producing three consecutive number one studio albums on the Billboard 200: Like a Virgin (1984), True Blue (1986), and Like a Prayer (1989). Though the entertainer faced negative critical publicity and modest sales on subsequent albums Erotica (1992) and Bedtime Stories (1994), she garnered critical acclaim with the release of her seventh studio album Ray of Light (1998). She continued to remain in the forefront of pop music with four more consecutive number one studio albums; Music (2000) American Life (2003) Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005) and Hard Candy (2008). In addition to her music career, she has acted in 22 films. Although her performances have mostly been critically panned, her role in Evita (1996) earned her a Golden Globe award. Guinness World Records lists her as the "World’s most successful female recording artist of all time" and the top earning female singer in the world with an estimated net worth of over $400 million, having sold over 200 million albums worldwide.
