Selena Gomez is an American singer, actress, producer, songwriter and social media mega-star who has a net worth of $800 million. As we detail in the next section of this article, the vast majority of Selena Gomez’s net worth comes thanks to her highly-successful makeup company, Rare Beauty.
Selena Gomez began her career as a child actress on shows like Barney & Friends and has since gone on to become one of the biggest stars in the world. Selena Gomez has managed to remain relatively drama-free in comparison to some of her Disney starlet counterparts. Unlike Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Bynes, Britney Spears, and Demi Lovato, Ms. Gomez has seemed to handle fame, a busy schedule, a high-profile romance with Justin Bieber, and all-things Disney, with a surprising amount of equanimity.
The singer/actor/dancer began acting professionally at age 7 on “Barney & Friends”, and then began working for the Disney Channel in a recurring role on Seasons 2 and 3 of “Hannah Montana”. In 2007, she was cast as one of the leads on the popular series, “Wizards of Waverly Place”. From there, she went on to appear in such films as, “Another Cinderella Story”, “Princess Protection Program”, and “Ramona and Beezus”. Today she is a highly-sought-after actress and endorser. In 2021 Selena began starring in the Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building” alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short.
She also launched a successful music career, and has released three studio albums as part of Selena Gomez & The Scene. All three albums have achieved Gold status.
Selena Gomez is one of the most-popular figures on social media and therefore one of the highest-paid endorsers in the world. As of this writing she has more than 58 million followers on TikTok and more than 420 million followers on Instagram, becoming the first woman to hit the 400 million benchmark on the platform. Her YouTube channel has more than 33 million subscribers and has generated nearly 13 billion views.
When she is not recording, performing, shooting a project, or rehearsing, she is also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.
Gomez became an owner and investor in the ice cream brand Serendipity. In September she launched the makeup line “Rare Beauty.” She also co-founded the mental health platform “Wondermind” and is an investor in food delivery company Gopuff.
