Jennifer Lopez has “Do you know who my father is?” money. She earns $12 to $20 million just to be a judge on American Idol, add an eight-figure Las Vegas residency, and sprinkle in music and concert sales, and the newly 50-year-old is pulling in close to $50 million annually.
At an estimated net worth of $400 million, Jenny from the Block could literally buy the Carvel cake company and rename it Poopy Cakes and turn it into a billion dollar venture from her name alone.
Instead, to honor her fiancé on his 44th birthday, J-Lo and his daughters surprised A-Rod and ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball crew in the booth during the Yankee-Red Sox game in Boston on Sunday.
A nice gesture, if you want to be bothered at your place of work.

Keep in mind how successful J-Lo is and how with one call, she could have a cake make of blood diamonds injected into the veins of her loved one.
Instead, she opted for the “Oh Shit I Forgot” cake.
Ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on the saddest cake to ever enter an oven.
A-Rod left behind the cake presented to him by J-Lo for his Bday on the ESPN broadcast. He did not eat a slice. All of us writers are now eating it instead. pic.twitter.com/wDd3CXAajo

Now keep in mind that for J-Lo’s 50th birthday (a fucking ageless wonder I swear) last week, A-Rod gifted her a red Porsche 911 GTS convertible. The price tag: $140,000.

The internet gave J-Lo the benefit of the doubt. Just kidding, they were rightfully ruthless.

You are Jennifer Lopez, engaged to be married to Alex Rodriguez and this is the crappy Walmart bakery section cake you get for someone?

That's the cake you get when you forgot you were supposed to pick up the cake.

In full disclosure, J-Lo made up for it, but that’s no fun.
