The lifelong friends, who first came into contact 16 years ago while they were both romantically associated with the Jonas Brothers, have amassed enormous wealth during their remarkable professional lives.

Taylor, 34, officially became a millionaire this month, 17 years into her amazing journey to become the largest music singer.

The most well-known newbie on the list, the 34-year-old lyrical wonder, has accumulated an estimated net worth of $1.1 billion via her successful Eras tour, her music repertoire, and her real estate holdings.

This comes on top of her enormous earnings from her first six albums, which she re-recorded while negotiating the terms of her music’s monetization with streaming services.

Her achievement is especially significant because she is one of the select few who have reached the milestone “through music and performing alone.”

Selena, 31, is reported to be worth $800 million, much of which is believed to come from her popular makeup company Rare Beauty, according to Parade.com.

The company, which was founded by the former Disney star, has become extremely successful in just four years.

Fast Company revealed in October that industry sources predicted Rare Beauty’s revenues to surpass $300 million in 2023, “tripling what it earned in 2022, when sales doubled from 2021.”

Additionally, there has been conjecture recently that Selena intended to sell the brand.

Although the source was ‘flirting’ with options, Rare Beauty hasn’t verified anything, according to a January Business of Fashion article.

According to the site, Selena might soon join best friend Taylor and the millionaire club with a “$2 billion plus price tag.”

In addition, Selena produces and acts in the popular television series Only Murders in the Building. Variety claims that Steve Martin and Martin Short, her co-stars, each received $600,000 per episode.

Since then, the duo have attended many red carpets, many award shows, and celebrated a number of birthdays together. Pictured in 2015

According to Cosmopolitan, the affluent celebrity is also well-known for her music and has her own production business, July Moon Productions, which was responsible for the hugely successful television series 13 Reasons Why.

 

The outlet also stated that in April 2013, her net worth surpassed $10 million thanks to her maiden solo album, and that she has made a lot of money touring; Stars Dance Tonight is believed to have earned $35.3 million, while Revival is estimated to have taken in $35.6 million.

With 429 million Instagram followers, it’s also understandable why companies are clamoring to work with the actress, who has appeared in commercials for Coach, with whom she just inked a $10 million contract, and Puma, which, according to E! News, gave her $30 million for a two-year contract.

And that's not to dismiss the cushy fortune the star would have started earning at a young age, with appearances on Wizards of Waverly Place (pictured), the Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Hannah Montana

She is estimated to make a staggering $2,557,825 every post, ranking third on the 2023 Instagram Rich List behind Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, according to Hopper.

Not to mention the lavish wealth the star would have been amassing at an early age from her roles in Hannah Montana, Zack and Cody’s Suite Life, and Wizards of Waverly Place.

Although the Wizards of Waverly Place actress later clarified that she was talking to the music profession, Francia—who gave Selena a kidney—seemed displeased with Selena. However, this didn’t mean that Francia couldn’t still be close friends with Selena in the film and television industries.

Selena went to New York City with Sophie Turner, Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, and Brittany Mahomes for a girls’ night out in November.

Additionally, Selena paid a touching birthday tribute to her friend Taylor on December 13, calling the performer a “goddess.”

Selena also stars, as well as produces, in hit TV show Only Murders in the Building. According to Variety , her co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin both got $600,000 per episode

Taylor and Selena made waves elsewhere in January when it appeared that they were overheard chatting during the Golden Globes.

The first tour to reach the $1 billion milestone was Taylor’s Eras Tour, per Pollstar’s 2023 year-end charts.

The concert trade newspaper discovered that not only was her historic Eras Tour the best-selling tour in the globe and in North America, but it also earned her an incredible $1.04 billion (£831.6 million) from the sale of 4.35 million tickets over 60 tour dates.

Pollstar data is gathered from November 17, 2022 to November 15, 2023, and is derived from box office reports, venue capacity estimations, previous Pollstar venue ticket sales data, and other undefined research.

The publication’s representatives would not immediately provide clarification on whether they named Taylor as the first person to surpass the $1 billion mark by adjusting historical tour data to account for 2023 inflation.

Her tour began in Arizona in March.

Additionally, according to Pollstar, Taylor’s merchandise sales raked in about $200 million (£159.8 million).

Additionally, it has been reported that Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, her successful film adaptation of the tour, has brought in about $250 million (£199 million) in sales.
