Selena Gomez’s eye-watering net worth revealed as she celebrates 31st birthday

Selena Gomez is 31! The actress and former Disney Channel star celebrated her big birthday on Saturday, July 22 with the love and support of her fans and loved ones.

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!

What is Selena Gomez’s net worth?

According to Celebritynetworth.com, Selena is worth a staggering $800 million, the highest of her fellow Disney alumni. It even eclipses her BFF Taylor Swift’s net worth, currently at a still massive $600 million (although that’s before residuals from The Eras Tour start rolling in).

The total comes not only courtesy of her career as an actress and singer-songwriter, but also as a producer, entrepreneur, beauty mogul, mental health advocate, lucrative endorsements, and her social media fame.
