LOS ANGELS, CALIFORNIA: Selena Gomez celebrated her 31st birthday on Saturday, but she might have another reason to rejoice. According to CelebrityNetWorth.com, the singer's net worth has skyrocketed to a whopping $800 million, thanks to the success of her makeup line Rare Beauty.

It follows after a recent Bloomberg report claimed that Rare Beauty, generated around $70 million in sales last year from its blush product alone. It also projects that the brand will rake in at least $210 million from the same product in 2023.

Is Selena Gomez a billionaire?

If these numbers are accurate, they would put Selena in the same league as other celebrities who have made a fortune from cosmetics, such as Kylie Jenner, who became a billionaire with her Kylie Cosmetics brand, TMZ noted. Selena acknowledged the impact of Rare Beauty in a birthday post on Instagram, where she thanked her fans for their support and asked them to donate to the Rare Impact Fund, a charity initiative that aims to increase access to mental health services for young people. She wrote, "I am thankful for so much in my life and one of the things I am most thankful for is the work we’ve been able to do with the Rare Impact Fund through @Rarebeauty."

'This is my true passion in life'

She added, "Because of YOU we’ve been able to raise awareness and increase access to mental health services for young people. This is my true passion in life. People keep asking me what I want for my birthday, and I tell everyone the same thing please do not get me anything but if you want to do something for my birthday, please donate to the Rare Impact Fund. If you have the means, consider donating to help us make a difference." She concluded the post, by writing, "I LOVE YOU ALL!". Gomez launched her beauty empire in September 2020, and it has grown rapidly since then, tripling its earnings since 2022. The singer also holds the title of the most followed woman on Instagram, which reportedly has boosted her business as well.
