Selena Gomez net worth: How has she made her millions?

If there's one celebrity we wouldn't mind trading lives with it's Selena Gomez. From being the founder of Rare Beauty, to working with Steve Martin and Martin Short on Only Murders in The Building, to hanging out on the weekends with Nicola Peltz Beckham and Taylor Swift, she basically has the dream life. Oh, and her bank balance is pretty enviable too.

As the singer/actor/beauty founder has worked since she was a child (Barney & Friends anyone?) she's made a lot of money in the last 20 years. But exactly how has she made her money? And what is her net worth? Here is everything you need to know.

Selena Gomez has now been acting for over 20 years with her first role on Barney & Friends beginning in 2002. Since then she's gone onto star in multiple projects from Wizards of Waverly Place, Ramona & Beezus, Monte Carlo, Spring Breakers, to her most recent project of Only Murders in the Building.

With over 100 acting credits to her name, each of those projects will have seriously added to her bank balance. Wizards of Waverly Place, in which Selena starred as main character Alex Russo, is said to have paid Selena $30,000 per episode and so with over 100 episodes that's $3million straight to Selena.

And Selena's other biggest acting project is sure to be Only Murders in the Building. Selena's co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin are reported to be paid $600,000 per episode, so we can probably assume Selena is paid similarly, and so if you add up all 30 episodes, Selena is getting paid in the millions.

Not only is she an actor but Selena also works as an executive producer on a number of projects including 13 Reasons Why, Selena + Chef and Only Murders in The Building.

While we don't know the exact figures of how much Selena makes from serving as a producer, we're going to guess it's pretty decent.

Over the years Selena has released a lot of music, most of which are certified bangers, from her early work with The Scene, to her most recent single 'Single Soon', there's not a Selena song we don't enjoy.

And Selena is probably enjoying them a lot too as her music and touring are making her a lot of money. Back in 2013 her net worth reached $10million thanks to the sales of her debut solo album. And when it comes to tours Selena made $35.3million from the Stars Dance Tonight Tour and $35.6million from the Revival Tour.

In 2019 Selena Gomez founded Rare Beauty, a beauty brand which aims to "break down unrealistic standards of perfection" and has produced some truly iconic products, we're still obsessed with the liquid blush.

In just the first year of launching Rare Beauty made an impressive $60million and in November 2022 site traffic had risen by 70% from the previous year, aka even more sales were being made.

As well as creating her own brand, in the past Selena has worked with a number of fashion brands which has seriously added to her net worth.

In 2016 she was paid $10million by Coach to work with the brand and in 2017 she was paid $30million for a two-year deal with Puma. Oh to be a celebrity.

Given all the above projects and endorsements, Celebrity Net Worth puts Selena's total net worth at a mega $800million. Ok, how do we become mates with Selena?
