Richer than the average 24-year-old, that's for sure.

She’s just worth a couple million dollars. You know, $50 million, to be exact.
But then again, it’s no surprise because she’s been working nonstop since she was nine years old.
If you’re wondering how her net worth got so high, we’ve got you covered. Here are some of the projects that made her bank account skyrocket.
Before Selena Gomez’s success on “Wizards of Waverly Place,” she kickstarted her career by being a part of “Barney and Friends.” Her part in the children’s series was one of Selena’s earliest TV roles. She played “Gianna” and appeared in 14 episodes.
But as the main character of a popular Disney series, “Wizards,” she gained a lot of attention and quickly became a fan favorite.
Selena Gomez was paid $30,000 per episode, and the show ran from 2007 to 2012 and aired 106 episodes. That’s adds up to a little over $3 million.
Apart from her lead role in “Wizards of Waverly Place,” Selena also guest starred on other Disney Channel shows. She appeared on “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,” “Hanna Montana” and “Sonny with a Chance.”
Although there’s no set reported amount of her earnings for these special appearances, it, no doubt, brought more fame and money to her name.
At this point, Selena Gomez was a Disney Channel star. Thus, it’s no surprise that she was cast to play the lead role in many Disney movies.
Gomez starred in Disney Channel’s “Princess Protection Program” alongside Demi Lovato and “Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie.”
Then, Selena later transitioned to non-Disney films like “Monte Carlo,” where she earned $2.5 million. Not only did this role help boost her career, it also scored her two Teen Choice Awards.
Can she get any more successful than this? If you answered yes, you’re correct.
Selena decided she no longer wanted to be looked at as a “Disney child star.” So, she took a more mature role in the movie “Spring Breakers,” which earned her a couple more million dollars.
In an interview, Selena Gomez talked about changing paths from a Disney star to her risky role in “Spring Breakers.”
She told Collider, “The show, [Wizards of Waverly Place], was an incredible part of my life, and there are people who have been there from that point to this point. I’m really thankful for it, even though it is such a crazy whirlwind.”
With the help of her acting career, Selena moved to the music industry and became an award-winning recording artist.
Her album “Revival” became the first Platinum-certified album of her career, selling more than $1 million copies. And the Revival Tour added $10.8 million to the Selena Gomez net worth. Selena’s Stars Dance Tour also had great success, bringing her $6.3 million.
But she’s not done yet.
She continues to bless the world with her music, releasing her newest single, “Bad Liar.” We’re all just waiting for her new album.
Selena Gomez teamed up with Kmart in 2012 to launch her fashion line, “Dreaming Out Loud by Selena Gomez.” The collection consists of bohemian dresses, floral tops, jeans, skirts, jackets, scarves and hats, all of which were made from recycled or eco-friendly materials.
Then in 2016, Selena Gomez signed a deal with Coach to be part of a project that helped the brand launch a partnership with the female-empowerment organization Step Up. Other companies she’s been associated with is Coca-Cola, Verizon, Louis Vuitton and Pantene, among others.
But her money doesn’t only come from endorsements, it also comes from social media. Yeah, being one of the most followed celebrities on Instagram has its perks.
According to D’Marie Analytics, she rakes in approximately $550,000 for sharing selfies and posting across Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
Selena has the luxury to be paid for something we do for free. Must be nice.
Really, the Selena Gomez net worth was built on her hard work and dedication. So no, her success has nothing to do with Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift or The Weeknd.
She is an inspiration to young girls all over the world and we wish her nothing but success and happiness. You’re doing great, Selena!
