Selena Gomez Seemingly Slams Hailey Bieber Feud Rumors
Selena Gomez knows what’s good for business.
Since the Only Murders In the Building star launched her Rare Beauty cosmetics line in 2020, the brand’s revenue has continued to soar, officially making Selena a billionaire in September 2024.
And Rare Beauty’s profitability has continued to elevate the company’s worth, with an estimated valuation of $2.7 billion, according to Fortune magazine.
But the line’s success was certainly not a given when it first hit the market, as skeptics wondered whether Selena’s celebrity status would translate to strong sales. In fact, the “Single Soon” singer recently recalled being met with reluctance when she first began developing the venture.
“A lot of people would have preconceived ideas of what I’m good at, and I should stay in my lane,” the 33-year-old said during the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington, D.C., Oct. 15. “But what I’m here to do is make a difference.”
Despite Rare Beauty’s explosion in the beauty world, Selena—who married music producer Benny Blanco in September—remains actively involved in its operations, squashing rumors that she was considering selling her majority stake in the business.
“I’m not ready,” she said at the event. “I love what we do and I don’t want it to change.”

After all, Selena previously shared how personal the brand is to her.
“I put my heart into it,” she told Women’s Wear Daily in July. “I work really hard, and I love our community, especially my fans. They have gotten me through all of the ups and all of the downs of life, and they are with me.”
And while it certainly doesn’t hurt that the company continues to benefit Selena’s bottom line, she’d rather not get into crunching numbers.
“I personally think it’s distasteful to talk about money,” she told Entertainment Tonight in September 2024, “but I really am giving all the credit to the people who buy the products.”
