If you don't instantly recognize the name of Selena Gomez, you may have been living under a rock over the past two decades. But don't worry, we'll bring you up to speed. She was once the star of the original Wizards of Waverly Place on the Disney Channel, and her career didn't stop there.
Now, she's a wildly successful actor, singer, songwriter, producer, and entrepreneur with an impressive portfolio to show for her efforts. Here's what we know about her net worth and whether it pushes her into the elite and sought-after category of "billionaire."
Selena Gomez's net worth is probably higher than you'd guess.
Selena was born on July 22, 1992, in Grand Prairie, Texas. Her first acting role came in the form of a recurring spot on Barney & Friends from 2002 to 2004, but it wasn't until she earned a starring role in Disney Channel's Wizards of Waverly Place in 2007 that she became a household name.
Since becoming a Disney star, Selena has embarked on her own journey to success. She has released several music albums and has been recognized for releasing multiple chart-topping singles.

Her estimated net worth is just north of $1 billion. Some sites estimate closer to $1.3 billion.
Is Selena Gomez a billionaire?
Part of the reason for her roaring success is that she has diversified her career in a big way.
In addition to being a singer and songwriter, producer, and actor, Selena runs her own successful beauty line, Rare.
So as we mentioned before, this combination of success, instinct, talent, drive, and dedication have all combined to make her a billionaire. It's a lofty accomplishment that puts her among the world's ultra-elite.
Forbes released a report in 2024 estimating that the number of billionaires in the world is just 2,781. This means that Selena's accomplishments make her quite rarer than one in a million.
You might not know it just by meeting her, though. Selena often posts on social media as she goes about her day and doesn't seem overly ostentatious or bragging about her lifestyle.
In one sweet post on Instagram, Selena shared a selfie of herself smiling in front of a screaming audience of young fans there to watch filming for Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place sequel, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.
She captioned it, "NOTHING will ever beat making little kids laugh … Thank you @disneywizardsseries for making the little girl in me so happy!!"
So she might be a billionaire, but Selena isn't above taking time to enjoy the moment and sharing it with others.
