Forbes just set the record straight about Selena Gomez’s finances and she’s not a billionaire. The left-leaning media loves hyping up celebrities as financial geniuses, but this Disney star’s bank account doesn’t stack up to the claims. While her makeup line Rare Beauty rakes in cash, she only owns 51% of the company—meaning most profits go to other investors.
Gomez’s other money moves include real estate and endorsement deals like her old Puma contract worth $30 million. But real estate takes time to appreciate and endorsement checks don’t last forever. These income streams don’t add up to a 10-figure net worth, no matter how many TikTok fans she has.
Conservatives know true wealth isn’t just about flashy brands. Hard work and smart investing matter. Even pop star Taylor Swift became a billionaire through her music empire without selling out to side hustles, proving talent and focus can create real wealth. Meanwhile, Gomez’s mental health startup faced backlash for not paying employees—a red flag for any business.
The left wants everyone to believe inflation-pushed “billionaire” labels are accurate, but Forbes fact-checks these claims. They’re not here for clickbait headlines. Gomez’s story shows how entitlement and hype don’t replace hard-nosed business strategy.
Entrepreneurs need to watch their bottom line, not just social media followers. Gomez’s case proves it’s easy to overspend on glitzy projects when reality checks few and far between. Real success comes from grinding, not from Hollywood headlines.
Forbes deserves credit for calling out fake wealth claims. In a world where everyone’s a “self-made mogul,” honest reporting keeps the playing field fair. Gomez might sell lipstick well, but true billionaire status requires more than a catchy tagline.
This wake-up call should remind all Americans—celebrities or not—of the importance of fiscal responsibility. Real wealth isn’t handed out with participation trophies. It’s earned through sacrifice, smart decisions, and staying grounded.
The Selena Gomez “billionaire” myth is just another example of media spin. While she’s done well, she’s not in the same league as Swift, Rihanna, or Jay-Z. Let’s celebrate hard-earned success, not fabricated headlines meant to fuel the outrage machine.
