Celebrating her 65th birthday, Madonna is known for constantly reinventing herself. Does this interest in plastic surgery stem from this?
The first woman to dominate the pop world, which was previously dominated by men… Madonna, who has been known as the “Queen of Pop” for years, is celebrating her 65th birthday. The list of achievements he has achieved so far in his unique career goes on and on.
Madonna, who has sold more than 300 million records in her career of more than 40 years since the release of her first 45 called “Everybody” on October 6, 1982, was declared the best-selling female artist of all time by Guinness World Records. With an estimated fortune of $850 million, Madonna is one of the most successful artists in the music world. Madonna, who ranked first on Forbes magazine’s annual list of the highest-earning female musicians 11 times and was nominated for a Grammy 28 times, managed to win the award seven times in total. When it comes to icons in the world of culture and art, he is one of the first names that come to mind for decades.
Besides his career as a music star, he is also an entrepreneur, writer, director, producer and designer. Although she had difficulty advancing her acting career, she won the Golden Globe Award for best actress for her leading role in the 1996 film version of the musical “Evita”.
Woman who breaks taboos
Madonna Louise Ciccone was born on 16 August 1958 in Bay City, Michigan, United States of America (USA). Madonna, whose star rose rapidly in the first half of the 1980s, made a big splash with her rebellious attitude and bold sexuality.
Madonna’s name is synonymous with pushing boundaries and breaking taboos, unafraid to stir controversy with songs like “Papa Don’t Preach,” which deals with teenage pregnancy, or provocative music videos like “Like a Prayer,” which features burning crosses of the Ku Klux Klan and a kissing scene with a black saint. It has become synonymous with destruction.
Over the years, Madonna has managed to inspire and surprise with her versatility and ability to reinvent herself in terms of music, style and identity. The world knew her as a provocative rebel with her ripped fishnet stockings and fingerless gloves or a sex bomb with her Jean Paul Gaultier corsets; She then took an unexpected turn and discovered the Jewish mysticism Kabbalah, and in 2004 she even began using the Hebrew name Esther.
Madonna, who became a mother for the first time by giving birth to Lourdes in 1996, is a mother of six children: Rocco (22), David (17), Mercy (17) and twins Stella and Estere (10). She made headlines with her two marriages to American actor Sean Penn (1985-1989) and British film director Guy Ritchie (2000-2008).
Madonna, one of the brightest stars of pop culture ever, never gave up on steps that were seen as provocations. Although her book “Sex”, published in 1992 and containing depictions of sadomasochistic fantasies, was the target of criticism such as “Madonna went too far this time”, it became an unprecedented success story, selling 1.5 million copies at approximately $50 each in a few weeks.
Madonna’s children’s book “English Roses”, published in 2003 and containing moral lessons, became the fastest-selling children’s picture book of all time after its publication. Madonna donated all the proceeds of the book, which sold one million copies, to a children’s charity.
Madonna has been participating in humanitarian aid activities for many years with her own charities “Ray of Light Foundation” and “Raising Malawi”
