Selena Gomez Is ‘Grateful' to Be a Billionaire, Even Though It's ‘Distasteful to Talk About Money'
The star opened up about her recent billionaire status on Monday (Sept. 30) at the premiere of her new film, Emilia Pérez.
www.billboard.comDirect answer: As of April 2026, Selena Gomez is widely reported to have billionaire status, primarily driven by her Rare Beauty brand, though there have been conflicting updates over time.
Key points:
- Bloomberg reported in Sept 2024 that her net worth was about $1.3 billion, largely from Rare Beauty, placing her among the youngest self-made billionaires in the US.[2][3]
- Subsequent coverage reinforced the $1.3B figure, emphasizing Rare Beauty as the main driver of wealth, with additional holdings in Wondermind, music, and acting proceeds.[4][2]
- There were later reports and debates about the stability of that billionaire status, including disputes and reassessments in 2025–2026, with some outlets noting potential downgrades or scrutiny over Wondermind’s finances; these claims varied across sources.[5][6][7][9]
What to watch for (how to verify latest status):
- The Bloomberg Billionaires Index and Forbes’ real-time tracking are the most authoritative trackers; check their latest updates for any changes to Gomez’s net worth or billionaire designation.[2][5]
- Corporate disclosures from Rare Beauty and Wondermind (if any) can signal ongoing valuation changes or cash flow issues that might influence net worth estimates.[4][5]
Cited sources for context:
