Selena Gomez, the singer and actress, shared her thoughts while attending the premiere of ‘Emilia Pérez’ on September 30, 2024.
Gomez reacted to her reported net worth of $1.3 billion with a mix of gratitude and humility. She told reporters at the event:
“I’m very grateful. I personally think it’s distasteful to talk about money, but I really am giving all the credit to people who buy the products. They’re the ones that made this dream of mine come true, so I’m really, really honored and just happy.”
Her comments come after a Bloomberg report from September 6, 2024, revealed her impressive financial status. The vast majority of Gomez’s wealth comes from her Rare Beauty cosmetics business, which she started in 2019. Other sources of income include her music catalog, acting roles, real-estate portfolio, and brand partnerships.
Gomez has also ventured into the mental health space. In 2022, she co-founded Wondermind, a mental health platform, with her mother Mandy Teefey and entrepreneur Daniella Pierson.
With this financial milestone, Gomez joins a select group of billionaire musicians. This club includes her close friend Taylor Swift, as well as Rihanna, Jay-Z, Ye, and Bruce Springsteen.
Gomez’s humble attitude aligns with her past behavior. She’s consistently maintained a down-to-earth demeanor despite her growing success in various industries. Her latest comments show she values her supporters and feels uncomfortable discussing her wealth publicly.
