00:00Selena Gomez is officially a billionaire, but her journey to billionaire status wasn't on an easy
00:05road. The now 32-year-old says she grew up in poverty and even told Elle magazine how her then
00:11teenage mom's car would get stuck on the highway because they'd run out of gas money. Gomez started
00:16acting at 10 years old on Barney and Friends, landing the lead role in Disney's Wizards of
00:21Waverly Place five years later. Her acting and music career have flourished with three studio
00:26albums, nine top 10 pop hits, 44 singles, and two Grammy nominations. But her billions don't
00:32just come from acting and singing. Roughly 84% of Gomez's wealth, 1.1 billion dollars,
00:38comes from a stake in her makeup brand Rare Beauty, which she founded just five years ago
00:42according to Bloomberg. And she's one of the youngest self-made billionaires in the country.
