In 2020, the world’s highest-paid celebrities raked in a combined $6.1 billion, despite travel restrictions and social distancing measures in place that had apparently crippled the world of showbiz. While it takes a lot to make it in Tinseltown, some of our favorite stars have used their god-given talents of singing, acting, or performing to dominate the stage.
Despite having a slow year in front of the camera lens, what sets these modern-day celebrities apart is their ability to leverage their newfound fame into successful business and entrepreneurial ventures to make big bucks behind the screen. Here’s a closer look at how Hollywood’s A-listers make and spend their millions.
Selena Gomez – $75 Million
Selena Gomez made her entry into the world of showbiz alongside her best friend Demi Lovato on Barney & Friends. Now, she is one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood and is one of the biggest names in pop music. After nearly a decade, Gomez has returned to the silver screen for Hulu’s new murder-mystery series, Only Murders in the Building.
At just the age of 22, Gomez bought a huge 10,000-square-foot residence in Texas for $3.5 million, complete with five bedrooms and a massive swimming pool. Along with her BMW X6, a Mercedes Maybach, and an Audi A6, she owns a $2.2-million home in Studio City.
