Actress-singer Selena Gomez on Saturday married music producer Benny Blanco, announcing it in an Instagram post that garnered more than 14 million likes.
The two can be seen embracing each other in a dreamy lawn photoshoot, with Blanco dressed in a classy tuxedo and Gomez dressed in an ethereal white halter bridal dress embellished with flowers.
The news broke the internet, sparking curiosity about Benny Blanco's net worth.
The record producer, songwriter, and rapper, who was involved in writing and/or producing various chart-toppers like Katy Perry’s 'Teenage Dream', Britney Spears' 'Circus', Maroon 5’s 'Moves Like Jagger', and Rihanna's 'Diamonds', is said to have a net worth of $50 million (Rs 443 crores), as per a Celebrity Net Worth report.
Appearing in Forbes' 30 Under 30 list (Music) in 2013, Blanco's net worth reportedly skyrocketed in 2019 after he sold as many as 93 songs (that he had been involved in) to Hipgnosis Songs Fund Limited. Though the exact value of the deal was not announced, it is estimated to be $40-50 million.
What people may not know is that Benny Blanco is also a real estate mogul, with a portfolio including condominiums, villas, retreats—all priced between $1 million and $9.5 million. Earlier this year, he reportedly purchased a sprawling Beverly Hills estate for $35 million.
Three years after Blanco, Selena Gomez was featured on the 2016 Forbes 30 Under 30 list (Music), and three years after that, she was included in Bloomberg's Billionaires Index (2019).
The 'Wizards of Waverly Place' and 'Hotel Transylvania' actress' income primarily comes from Rare Beauty—a company she founded that's worth around $2 billion—as well as acting, producing, and singing. Her net worth, once estimated to be $1.3 billion, was later estimated by Forbes to be $700 million.
