Selena Gomez’s entry into the billionaire’s club has brought to light one question: Does her financial success outshine that of her famous exes? Let’s look at the net worth of Selena Gomez in 2024, vs that of her ex-boyfriends.

Selena Gomez has attained billionaire status, and now joins the ranks of Rihanna and her best friend, Taylor Swift! A recent report by Bloomberg places Gomez’s net worth at 1.3 billion as of September 2024, and a large part of it can be credited to her extremely successful makeup brand, Rare Beauty, as well as her work in music and movies. From her early days as a Disney star to becoming the youngest woman in the country with a 10-figure net worth, Gomez’s journey is inspirational as it is well-deserved. But one thing that has always overshadowed her success is her dating history, with her high-profile relationships frequently overshadowing her artistry in music and movies.

Which begs the question. How are Selena Gomez’s famous ex-boyfriends holding up against her in net worth? We take a look.

Is Selena Gomez Surpassing Her famous Exes Financially?

The multi-hyphenate singer, actor, and businesswoman Selena Gomez is currently in a loving relationship with music producer Benny Blanco. They met while working on the song “I Can’t Get Enough” in 2019 and started dating in early 2023. Both artists have recently stated a desire to start a family, which has fuelled speculations about their engagement. Before he and Gomez began to date, Blanco was close friends with her ex, Justin Bieber, and had collaborated with him on numerous occasions. Another frequent collaborator of Blanco’s is the Weeknd, who also counts himself among Gomez’s famous exes. Although it is nothing to sneeze at, Benny’s net worth is currently USD 50 million, meaning Selena is around 26 times richer than he is. Let’s see how her net worth compares to that of her other exes.

Taylor Lautner

Before he was the boyfriend of Taylor Swift, Twilight star Taylor Lautner briefly dated Selena Gomez for a few months in 2009. They met when Gomez was shooting Ramona and Beezus and he was shooting Twilight: New Moon. Sadly, constant paparazzi invasions on their dates killed the vibe and they went their separate ways. However, it seems like they stayed on good terms. Lautner is famous for his roles in Scream Queens (2015), Valentine’s Day (2010), and Grown Ups 2 (2013). He is now happily married to another Taylor Lautner (I know, confusing!). According to Celebrity Net Worth, he has a net worth of USD 40 million.

Nick Jonas

During their Disney days, Selena dated Jonas star Nick Jonas. The young couple dated on and off from 2008 to 2010. Nick Jonas is mostly known for being in a band with his brothers Kevin and Joe, and has amassed a fortune of USD 70 million from his band career, acting gigs, and solo songs. He is currently married to actress Priyanka Chopra, and the two have a daughter together. Nick’s solo hits include “Jealous” and “Close”; as part of the Jonas Brothers, Nick also has hits like “Sucker”, “Burnin’ Up”, and “What A Man Gotta Do”.

Zedd

Selena briefly dated Russian-German DJ and music producer Zedd from January to April 2015 while working on a song together “I Want You To Know.” Zedd is a very successful musician and DJ with tracks like “Stay”, “Good Thing”, and “Happy Now” in his repertoire. He has also worked with artists like Shawn Mendes, Liam Payne, and Justin Bieber. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Zedd is one of the most successful DJs in the world with a net worth of USD 60 million.

Niall Horan

Yes, Niall Horan from One Direction briefly dated Selena Gomez in 2015. When one of the world’s most successful boybands One Direction went on hiatus, rumours of Horan and Gomez also started buzzing. However, their love tapered off after only a month or two, and they split up. In addition to his incredibly successful career with the band, Horan has popular tracks like “Slow Hands”, “Heaven”, and “This Town” in his musical catalogue. Niall remains one of the most prominent figures in the music industry, with an estimated net worth of USD 70 million.

The Weeknd

Between December 2016 to October 2017, Selena’s relationship with The Weeknd aka Abel Tesfaye drew a lot of attention. Both of them had just gone through major breakups that year (Selena broke up with Justin and The Weeknd broke up with supermodel Bella Hadid). Sadly, their relationship was also donned, and did not last very long. Fans speculated that Abel wrote “Call Out My Name” about Selena, with alleging that the HBO show The Idol, which stars The Weeknd, Lily Rose-Depp, and BLACKPINK Jennie, was based on Selena’s life.

With smash hits like “Blinding Lights”, “Starboy”, and “Can’t Feel My Face”, The Weeknd has established himself as one of the biggest R&B artists of today. He is also one of the most-streamed artists on Spotify. With his music, tours, and savvy investments, Abel has accumulated an impressive net worth of USD 300 million, but it still falls short in the face of Selena’s earnings this year.

Justin Bieber

We can’t talk about the net worth of Selena Gomez vs that of her ex-boyfriends without mentioning Justin Bieber. Selena and Justin had one of the most talked-about relationships of the last decade, dating on and off from 2010 to 2018. During their time together and apart, both musicians wrote several songs about one another. They finally parted ways in 2018, and Bieber married supermodel Hailey Baldwin (now Bieber) shortly after. The couple recently welcomed a baby boy, Jack Blues Bieber.

Justin is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars of this generation, with smash songs like “Boyfriend”, “Peaches”, and “Where Are You Now.” With his music, tours, and now-sold masters, numerous sites estimate Bieber’s net worth to be between USD 300 and 485 million.

Despite the fact that their relationship ended nearly six years ago, fans are still obsessed with the once-couple. While Bieber and Gomez have both spoken up against it, fans continue to compare their romances and hate on their current partners. Notably, Hailey Bieber, who is Justin’s wife, also has a beauty brand called Rhode, and fans have frequently compared it to Rare Beauty.
