Whether its her success on Only Murders In The Building, or her new music, Selena Gomez has a lot to be proud of — and many streams of revenue. Her diversified income has led to her making an incredibly rare milestone: she has joined the small group of musicians who have developed a billion dollar net worth.
Certainly, Selena has come a long way from her difficult childhood in Texas, which saw her mom — who had her aged 16 — struggling to make ends meet from time to time. "I remember my mom would run out of gas all of the time and we’d sit there and have to go through the car and get quarters and help her get gas," Selena once said of growing up.
The social media sensation shared her gratitude for all her followers with a series of Instagram posts for her over 400 million followers, sharing snippets from her star-studded birthday celebration as well.
As we celebrate Selena, let's take a look at her work over the years, specifically through her net worth, which is so much higher than you'd think!
