(NewsNation) — Between Selena Gomez’s mental health startup, her makeup brand and her entertainment ventures, how much is the former Disney Channel star worth?
Some outlets are putting her net worth at $1 billion. However, Forbes claims that she hasn’t yet reached billionaire status.
Bloomberg says Selena Gomez’s net worth is $1.3B
Bloomberg had reported near the end of 2024 that Gomez’s net worth was $1.3 billion. They reported that this was largely due to her makeup line, Rare Beauty. However, Forbes believes that Gomez’s net worth is only around $700 million.
Her biggest asset? Definitely her stake in Rare Beauty, which is allegedly estimated at 51%. Rare Beauty products are only sold on its website and in Sephora stores. In 2023, a California state filing showed that Rare Beauty brought in $367 million in revenue. Forbes valued Rare Beauty at around $1.3 billion based on information from beauty industry analysts.
One analyst with Morningstar, Dan Su, told Forbes, “The market condition right now is exerting a sort of downward pressure on valuation. And honestly, makeup is a category, in my view, where the entry barrier is relatively low. So there’s a lot of competition.”
Wondermind facing financial issues: Forbes
Forbes recently published a report stating that Gomez’s mental health startup, Wondermind, has been facing financial issues. The startup has allegedly failed to pay employees, vendors and freelancers over the past few weeks, with one source claiming that nine employees were laid off. This leaves only four employees at the company.
Wondermind was started in 2021 by Gomez, her mother, Mandy Teefey and Daniella Pierson, who left in 2023. Forbes reported that the startup had owed tens of thousands of dollars (or more) in debts, but the company has said those have been repaid.
Forbes reported that, at the end of March, employees didn’t receive a paycheck. They also received an email that stated their health benefits had been terminated two weeks before. Payroll was allegedly missed again on April 30.
Selena Gomez’s TV shows, music earnings
Gomez started her career at 10 years old when she played Gianna on “Barney and Friends.” However, her big break came from her role as Alex Russo in Disney Channel’s “Wizards of Waverly Place.” She even recently reprised that role in the reboot, “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.”

Gomez reportedly had $90 million in gross earnings over several years from her TV shows, movies, music, brand endorsements and more. According to E! News, Gomez made $30 million from a Puma collaboration and around $24 million from the Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building.”
Gomez is also a singer, releasing her first album in 2008. She went on a hiatus until her most recent album in March, which she collaborated on with her fiancé, Benny Blanco. Despite this, she hasn’t done a tour since 2016.
Selena Gomez’s real estate properties
Gomez purchased a home in Tarzana, California, for an alleged $2.175 million in July 2011. Jonah Hill owned the home, which has five bedrooms and five bathrooms, before Gomez. In May 2014, Gomez listed the home for $3.495 million and allegedly sold it in October of that year for $3.45 million.
Also in 2014, Gomez paid $3.69 million for a home in Calabasas. She did end up selling that home, which you can view a video tour of here:
In 2015, the actor and singer moved to Fort Worth, Texas, eventually selling the home for $2.4 million in 2020. However, in 2017, she spent $2.249 million on a home in Studio City, California. She sold it a year later for $2.3 million.
Forbes reported that Gomez paid almost $5 million for her home in the Encino neighborhood of L.A., where she has filmed multiple seasons of “Selena + Chef.” Then, this February, Gomez and Blanco reportedly paid $35 million for a home in Beverly Hills.
