Selena's Secret September Wedding: Inside the A-List Affair and Her Billion-Dollar Empire

Selena Gomez BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Selena Gomez is making headlines once again and this time the spotlight isn’t about new music or a film role but her rapidly approaching wedding to Benny Blanco. Just days ago, multiple insider sources confirmed to publications like The Tab, Hola, and Daily Mail that Selena and Benny are set to marry in a lush two-day affair this September in Montecito, California—a playground for the rich and famous. Despite Benny Blanco’s recent public comments on the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast suggesting they hadn’t finalized any plans due to work obligations, it now appears the opposite is true. Invitation details have surfaced, revealing that the guest list is packed with A-list friends, including Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, Martin Short, Steve Martin, and top-tier musicians from Benny’s circle such as Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, Halsey, and The Weeknd. The celebration reportedly requires every guest to pack overnight bags, signaling a private, immersive weekend with Hollywood vibes and very little chance for paparazzi intrusions.

Selena and Benny were seen together publicly for the first time since the release of Justin Bieber’s new album, a much-watched occasion according to Jang, which immediately reignited the ever-present online discourse about Selena’s past and present relationships.

Turning to business, Selena remains a powerhouse in the beauty industry with Rare Beauty, which now constitutes more than 80 percent of her net worth. Bloomberg recently reported that Rare Beauty generated over 367 million dollars in 2023, and while its previously quoted valuation of over 2 billion dollars has been trimmed to 1.3 billion by Forbes this May, the brand is still outpacing rivals in both prestige and cultural relevance. Selena was spotted on July 9 at a Rare Beauty event in Malibu, mingling with influencers—a calculated effort to keep the brand buzzing in the saturated beauty space. Instagram posts from that night drew hundreds of thousands of interactions, reaffirming her unique ability to blend celebrity culture with commercial success.

Selena’s influence also extends deeply into mental health advocacy. According to Upworthy, she continues to champion her new venture, Wondermind, a multi-media platform aiming to democratize access to quality mental health information. Recent interviews echo her personal commitment to making such resources broadly available, citing her own struggles and emphasizing it’s about being understood and seen, not profit.

On social media, Selena’s astonishing reach remains unmatched. Forbes confirms she regularly earns upwards of 2.5 million dollars per sponsored post and she was the first woman to surpass 400 million Instagram followers. The conversation online is now dominated by speculation about #SelenaWedding and who will wear what, amplified by influencer posts from her recent Malibu event.

All of it combines to make this mid-July stretch one of the most consequential periods in Selena’s recent life, with personal decisions, business moves, and public appearances strategically aligned just ahead of a celebrity-studded, exceedingly private wedding that will be watched by millions—even if their names aren’t on the guest list.
