Selena Gomez Hits $1.3B Net Worth
Selena Gomez, American pop star and actress, has officially become a billionaire, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index. Her wealth, estimated at $1.3 billion, is largely attributed to her successful Rare Beauty brand, as well as her ventures in music and television.
More than 80% of Gomez’s net worth comes from her stake in Rare Beauty Brand Inc. She has also seen significant income from brand endorsements, acting roles, and investments in mental health initiatives. Gomez, who rose to fame as a Disney Channel star in the 2000s, is now one of Instagram’s top-followed personalities, with 424 million followers, trailing only Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Despite her music success, tours account for less than 5% of her wealth, as she hasn’t toured since 2016.
