A
t 32, Selena Gomez has shifted from a Disney Channel darling to a serious businesswoman. While Forbes estimates her net worth at $700 million and Bloomberg at $1.3 billion, the bulk of her wealth comes from Rare Beauty, which pulls in $350–$400 million annually and is valued at $2 billion.

    Before launching her beauty empire, Gomez began building a real‑estate portfolio that mirrors her rise from teen idol to Hollywood heavyweight. From her first “starter” purchase at 19 to a $35 million Beverly Hills home with fiancé Benny Blanco, here’s how the star built her holdings.

    **Tarzana Starter Home** – In July 2011, the 19‑year‑old bought a 6,630‑sq‑ft, six‑bedroom, nine‑bath compound on a full acre in Tarzana for $2.175 million. The home featured high ceilings, a media room, a pool, spa, bocce court, basketball court, and tennis space. After upgrades, she listed it in 2014 for $3.495 million and sold it to rapper Iggy Azalea for $3.45 million.

    **Fort Worth Mansion** – In 2015, she purchased a 10,000‑sq‑ft, six‑bedroom, 7½‑bath estate in a gated community near Grand Prairie for $3.5 million. It boasted a saltwater pool with slide, eight‑seat theater, tennis/basketball court, putting green, game room, and chef‑grade kitchen. She listed it in 2016, and after price cuts, sold it in 2018 for $2.7 million.

    **Studio City Bungalow** – While recovering from a kidney transplant in 2017, she bought a 3,500‑sq‑ft, four‑bedroom bungalow on a half‑acre lot for $2.249 million. The home had herring‑bone brick, oak floors, a pool, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, and guesthouse. It went on the market in 2018 and sold in 2020 for $2.368 million.

    **Encino Mansion** – In 2020, she acquired Tom Petty’s former 11,000‑sq‑ft lodge for $4.9 million. The six‑bedroom, 10‑bath property features an in‑house studio, wine cellar, massage room, gym, and rumored secret passages. The grounds include fountains, waterfalls, and a pool on an acre adjacent to Vin Diesel’s estate. It remains her longest‑held property.

    **Beverly Hills Estate with Benny Blanco** – In December 2024, the engaged couple purchased a 7,000‑sq‑ft Spanish‑style home for $35 million. Designed by Wallace Neff in 1928 and restored from a Todd Phillips ownership, the house has seven bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a library with a spiral staircase, greenhouse solarium, gym, private theater, studio, and a large pool, spa, and gardens on nearly an acre. The off‑market deal was one of the biggest Beverly Hills transactions of 2024 and marked a new chapter for the pair.
