Selena's Whirlwind: Billion-Dollar Bliss, Beverly Hills, and Bridal Blitz

Selena Gomez BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

In the past few days Selena Gomez’s life has been a whirlwind of headlines spanning business milestones, buzzy birthday celebrations, and very public glimpses into her personal world. The biggest headline is that Selena and fiancé Benny Blanco are set to wed later this year in Montecito, California, and the guest list is the subject of major tabloid obsession. Page Six and Times of India both reported that Selena postponed finalizing her wedding date specifically to ensure her best friend Taylor Swift could attend. Selena is reportedly organizing the entire event so Taylor Swift and her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce are treated like absolute VIPs, from the welcome party to an intimate dinner. She is absolutely determined to make their experience special and has told friends Taylor’s presence was a non-negotiable.

Following a leak of key wedding details, Selena and Benny are now beefing up security according to multiple reports, including recent updates on Instagram and coverage by Marca, emphasizing just how high-stakes the event has become as the world’s tabloid gaze sharpens.

In the glow of her upcoming nuptials, Selena turned 33 last week and gave fans a rare look into her inner circle. Taylor Swift joined her at an early birthday party in Los Angeles—photos posted by Selena on Instagram show the two pop icons surrounded by balloons, with Benny Blanco by Selena’s side. Selena called this “the most beautiful year of my life,” reflecting on love, friendship, and gratitude.

On the business front, Selena’s power remains unmatched. Rare Beauty, her cosmetics empire, remains the primary source of her recently reported billionaire status. New estimates by Forbes peg the company’s value at $1.3 billion, and Bloomberg confirms that a staggering 81 percent of Selena’s wealth now comes from her 51 percent stake in Rare Beauty. The brand’s blockbuster Soft Pinch Liquid Blush alone generated $70 million last year, and Rare Beauty’s meteoric growth continues to define Selena’s financial future.

Social media remains Selena’s other empire. She may no longer be the single most-followed person on Instagram, as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have overtaken her, but she is still the first and only woman to have crossed 400 million followers. According to Billboard, estimates place her sponsorship earnings at $2.5 million per Instagram post, making her presence a digital juggernaut.

Selena and Benny have also just given fans an inside look at their new $35 million Beverly Hills mansion—an upgrade reported after their engagement earlier this year—cementing their status as entertainment power players with a taste for luxury and privacy.

Though the past few days have had no major controversies or music releases, Selena did touch fans online by naming her Who Says concert moment as one of her most cherished, in a video that racked up attention from her core following. As of now, all eyes are on her, her soaring business, the Beverly Hills dream home, and, of course, that wedding—already heading for historic Hollywood territory. No speculation needed: Selena Gomez is having a moment that will echo in the pop culture record for years.
