Gomez’s wealth is not solely derived from her music career but also from her ability to diversify her income streams. Her highly successful Rare Beauty makeup line has played a significant role in propelling her into the billionaire ranks, as has her involvement in various brand partnerships and her mental health startup, Wondermind. Unlike some of her peers, like her close friend Taylor Swift who has focused primarily on music, Gomez has taken a more entrepreneurial path to building her wealth.
“Selena is not just a pop star,” said Stacy Jones, CEO of Hollywood Branded. “She’s a multifaceted businesswoman with diverse income streams contributing to her impressive net worth.” Gomez’s ability to leverage her fame and influence to launch successful business ventures has impressed many, with Brent Saunders, CEO of Bausch + Lomb Corp. and an investor in Wondermind, stating, “Selena epitomizes how a celebrity can use their influence and expertise to both do good and create good business.”
Gomez’s career began at a young age, starring on Barney & Friends before achieving mainstream success on Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place, where she portrayed the iconic character Alex Russo. Following her Disney career, she transitioned into music as the lead singer of Selena Gomez & the Scene and eventually went on to have a successful solo music career.
