Selena Gomez has been working since she was a kid, meaning while the rest of us were playing with, IDK, Pogs and Beanie Babies, she was out here getting paid to hang with Barney. Since her formative years as a Disney star, Selena has appeared in multiple big-budget films, dropped record-breaking albums, and starred in critically-acclaimed shows—including Only Murders in the Building—so yep. She’s made a lot of $$. And, like, don’t even get me started on how much she earns per sponsored Instagram post. Here’s a breakdown of where all her money comes from, and please be advised that you simply are not ready!!!!!!!!!!

How Much Did Selena Make for Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place?

Again, Selena’s been out here collecting paychecks since she was a child. Aside from being on Barney and Friends alongside Demi Lovato, she's had parts in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, *and* Hannah Montana. But her breakout role was obviously in Wizards of Waverly Place, where Sel was paid $30,000 per episode. The show aired 106 episodes total, meaning Selena made more than $3 million.

How Much Did Selena Make for Only Murders in the Building?

According to Variety, Sel’s costars Martin Short and Steve Martin each earned $600,000 per episode, so it seems fair to assume that Selena got at least that much. Oh, and by “that much,” I mean $6 million total. 🙃

(Side note while we’re here: Selena is also a producer on this show and earns money through her production company. Never forget she was the brains behind 13 Reasons Why!)

How Much Has Selena Made Through Music?

Um...a lot! TBD when it comes to record-by-record sales, but we know that her net worth broke $10 million in April 2013 thanks to the release of her debut solo album. She’s also made a huge amount of money from touring—Sel’s Stars Dance Tonight tour earned $35.3 million, and the Revival tour earned $35.6 million.

And it seems as though Sel is going to be making a lot more $$$ in the near future from her music. After all, she's likely still making tons of moolah after having teamed up with Rema last year on their number 1 hit "Calm Down," which recently went triple-platinum. And just last week, she debuted her new song "Single Soon"—an iconic pop banger with a powerful message.

And tbh, we shouldn't be surprised that the celeb is getting back into making incredible tracks, since, earlier this year, she opened up to Vanity Fair about getting her feet wet again in the industry and told the outlet that she was leaning into "really powerful, strong, very pop" sounds.

"The theme generally is freedom—freedom from relationships, freedom from darkness," she added. "If I had my way, I would probably write ballads my whole life, but I want to produce music that will make people smile." As a loyal Selinator, I thank you for ur service, Sel. 🫡

How Much Has Selena Made from Rare Beauty?

Rare Beauty celebrated its two-year anniversary back in September 2022, and to say it's still crushing it is a serious understatement. Within its first year of launching, Rare Beauty generated $60 million in revenue, and in the time since, influencers everywhere have been lauding its incredible products (looking @ you, creamy liquid blushes!) and cruelty-free mission.

How Much Does Selena Make Per Instagram Post?

As one of the most popular people on Instagram clocking in at 428 million followers (a whopping 50 million more than she did this past February 2023!), Selena takes home a huge fee per sponsored post. And according to the annual Instagram Rich List, that number is around $2,558,000. Celebrity Net Worth also reports that Selena’s net worth topped $18 million back in 2015 thanks to her success on Insta.

How Much Does Selena Make From Brand Partnerships?

Instagram can make a lot, but the real money comes when a fancy brand decides they want you to be their ~face~. And Selena’s net worth skyrocketed when Coach paid her $10 million to work with them in 2016, and then Puma paid her $30 million for a two-year deal in 2017. Thanks to these deals + her music + her acting roles, her net worth reached a reported $60 million by 2018.

So, What Is Selena Gomez’s Total Net Worth in 2023?

Celebrity Net Worth says it's a whopping $800 million!!! And that massive figure is likely thanks to season 3 of Only Murders in the Building being out in the world and the fact that she's dominating the music charts once again. TL;DR: It's an amazing time to be a Selinator!
