Selena's Billion-Dollar Glow-Up: Rare Beauty, Wellness, and Resilience

Selena Gomez BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Selena Gomez is having yet another headline-grabbing week, not just for her music and acting, but for her evolving public persona and business empire. The last few days have brought a surge of interest around her dramatic transformation—by July 2025, Selena has shed 30 pounds, going from 155 to 125 pounds, a feat she accomplished naturally while managing lupus, medication side effects, and a relentless workload. She’s credited this glow-up not to celebrity shortcuts but to simple routines: walking, yoga, hydration, and, above all, setting personal boundaries. This journey has played out in public, from red carpet appearances—her striking look at the February SAG Awards had fans buzzing about her health and self-esteem—to candid statements about feeling “sleeping better, skin’s clearer, less brain fog,” as detailed by Northwestern Headlines.

Her relationship with producer Benny Blanco is flourishing both behind the scenes and on camera. This week, a new short film, I Said I Love You First, offered fans a rare glimpse into their creative and personal partnership. The short features intimate, at-home performances and conversation, coinciding with the surprise release of a deluxe version of their joint album. The drop includes fresh collaborations, like “Cowboy” featuring GloRilla and a Greg Gonzalez guest spot, quickly becoming new fan favorites, according to TheBizzFM.

On the business front, Selena’s Rare Beauty continues its meteoric rise, now projected to surpass $100 million in revenue this year. Rare Beauty isn’t just a cosmetics brand—it’s a powerful philanthropic engine, channeling 1% of sales to the Rare Impact Fund, which has already raised $16 million for mental health initiatives, as reported by AOL and Inkl. That advocacy for wellness and authenticity has become a defining thread in her brand and public conversation.

Meanwhile, her acting career remains robust, with recent paparazzi snaps showing her arriving on set for the next season of Only Murders In The Building in New York. Social media has been abuzz, too—from late June sightings with Taylor Swift in NYC to the hundreds of thousands reacting to her recent Instagram Story sharing a fresh-faced selfie captioned “Homie came in strong,” as chronicled by various fan accounts.

To top it all off, Bloomberg and multiple outlets have confirmed Selena now sits comfortably atop a $1.3 billion fortune, the overwhelming majority from Rare Beauty. Yet, philanthropic efforts and public openness about her mental health remain core to her identity. Whether she’s executive producing a hit Emmy show or launching new music, Selena Gomez’s every move this week underscores her transformation from Disney ingenue to self-made global icon, with a resilience and relatability that keep her at the center of both entertainment news and deeper cultural conversations.
