It takes a lot of hard work to keep the crown as queen of all Latina musical artists. But Gloria Estefan makes it look easy.

Latin music's premier female artist -- with seven Latin Grammys and more than 100 million albums sold -- has a new album, a Broadway show about her life, a football team, multiple businesses and a daughter headed to college. Even so, she finds time to help Hurricane victims, advocate against repression -- like that in her homeland of Cuba -- defend human rights, fight against violence and in favor of religious freedom, as she recently participated in the TEDx conference in Rome, where she met her second Pope.

How does she do it all? It's a combination of luck, prayer and teamwork, she said, referring to her husband, music mogul Emilio Estefan.
