Selena Gomez cannot be stopped. The 29-year-old does it all. She sings, acts, and she even created a must-have makeup line. Not to mention she executive produces, hosts a cooking show, and runs a non-profit aimed at bringing more mental health services to educational settings. Yeah, when I said she does it all, I meant it.
From movies to music, Selena has had her hand in a lot and her paychecks reflect that. She's been working since she was a little girl, making her net worth something out of this world. Here's how Sel G has made most of her money.
Selena got her start in the entertainment industry when she was really young. She played the role of Gianna on seasons 7 and 8 of the children's television show, Barney & Friends. Through Barney & Friends, Selena met fellow Disney star, Demi Lovato, who played the role of Angela.
From there, Selena landed other small roles on shows like Hannah Montana and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, but Selena's star blew up when she landed a role on Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place. On the show, Selena played the daughter in a family of wizards with magical powers. According to Money Inc., she supposedly made $30,000 per episode in that role.
Selena's career on TV is far from over, however. Soon, the actress will star in the second season of her critically-acclaimed Hulu series, Only Murders in the Building, alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short. According to a report by Variety, Martin and Steve both earned $600,000 per episode. Details about Selena's OMITB salary were missing from the report, but it's likely that she was earning a similar amount.
In addition, it was recently announced her cooking show, Selena + Chef, will return for a fourth season on HBO Max.
In 2013, Selena officially launched her solo music career by releasing the single "Come & Get It." Her first solo album, Stars Dance, debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. As a solo artist, Selena's created hit singles like "I Want You To Know," her collaboration with Zedd, "Same Old Love," and "Hands to Myself." In 2018, the release of her single "Back to You" helped Selena break the record for longest active run, meaning every song she released in the seven years prior to then made it into the Hot 100 chart.
Selena's album, Rare, was released in January 2020 and marked her third number one album on the Billboard 200 chart. It also sold 117,000 units in its first week, according to Billboard. The following year, Selena released her first Spanish language album, Revelación, which landed the singer her first-ever Grammy nomination. Her single, "De Una Vez," also received a Latin Grammy nomination in 2021.
Selena's music career took her on many tours, both as a solo artist and with her band. As a solo artist, Selena embarked on two tours, the "Stars Dance Tour" and the "Revival Tour." The "Stars dance Tour" made $20.3 million at the box office, while the "Revival Tour" made $35.6 million. And, now that she's a Grammy-nominated artist, she may have the credentials to hike up her prices and play larger venues when she decides to tour again.
A triple threat, Selena can act, sing and also produce. Selena served as executive producer of the popular Netflix series, 13 Reasons Why. She's even contributed a few songs to the show's soundtracks, so she's definitely banking some Netflix money.
Name something Selena can't do. In 2010, Selena released a clothing line collaboration with Kmart called "Dream Out Loud." The clothing line was sold at the retailer from 2010 to 2014 and included casual clothing and accessories for juniors. Dream Out Loud isn't her only clothing collab. Selena also has a partnership with the athletic-wear brand, Puma. She designed two lines for the brand, both grouped under the Selena Collection. According to E! News, Selena made more than $30 million from her Puma deal. Selena also recently launched her first-ever capsule collection with La'Mariette Swimwear and the six-piece drop features some must-have styles.
Of course, Selena has her own brand as well, the makeup line Rare Beauty, which has an exclusive deal with Sephora and surely brings in tons of $$$ in sales. In 2021, Rare Beauty expanded from the beauty space and also sold apparel merchandise.
To close off the year, Fortune reported that Selena officially became an investor for the delivery service app, GoPuff. "The first time I heard about GoPuff was one night when I was hanging out with some friends at home," she told Fortune. "We needed something from the store, but no one wanted to hop in the car and drive, so someone suggested GoPuff. I was blown away by how quickly our order arrived." The outlet also reveals that as of July 2021, the company was valued at $15 billion. So, it looks like Selena may make a decent amount with her latest venture.
Not to mention, her ice cream brand, Serendipity is now available for purchase on the platform. As one of the co-owners and investors of the New York-based ice cream brand, which reportedly has annual revenue of roughly $16 million, Selena most likely reaps the benefits of being a business owner.
Selena also teamed up with her mom, Mandy Teefey and Daniella Pierson to launch a new mental health platform called Wondermind. The site offers people access to supportive content around mental health issues to utilize in between therapy sessions. While the platform is free to use, it is also set to launch an accompanying podcast soon. As one of Wondermind's co-founders, Selena will probably see some pretty pennies in the near future.
She's also landed a ton of endorsement deals that have put even more money in her pocket. Selena's served as a spokesperson for Pantene, Neo by Adidas, Louis Vuitton, Coca-Cola and Borden Milk. Plus, with her history of formerly being the most-followed person on Instagram, before she was dethroned, Selena's definitely an influencer. That's why she paid over $800,000 per Instagram post, according to Business Insider.
All of this income adds up, so it's unsurprising that Selena is reportedly worth $75 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Her long history in the entertainment industry has made her super-rich.
