Billionaire Selena Gomez slammed by fans for giving homeless man $20 bill

As a fan of Selena Gomez since her Disney days, it’s been fascinating to watch her grow and evolve into a successful businesswoman with Rare Beauty. Her recent statement about not letting numbers overshadow the essence of her brand resonates deeply with me. It’s inspiring to see someone who has achieved so much yet remains grounded and committed to their values, especially in an industry that can sometimes be superficial.


 Selena Gomez was slammed by fans for giving a homeless man a $20 bill.

On Tuesday evening, the affluent, 32-year-old celeb, boasting a net worth of $1.3 billion, was spotted exiting the high-end restaurant Nobu Fifty Seven in New York City. As she departed, she gave a homeless individual a twenty-dollar bill.

Following her photo sessions and autograph signings, she gave money to the homeless man and said, “Enjoy your dinner.

People generally responded to her action on social media in a negative manner, given her recent acquisition of billionaire status.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but feel a pang of regret when I read comments like this: “He deserved at least a $50! In today’s New York, $20 is barely enough to grab a pack of smokes and a tall boy beer.

Another said: ‘That’s like a penny split into 100 parts for her.’

However there were several fans who came to the star’s defense and praised her generosity.

As a dedicated follower, I might say: “If I hadn’t had any cash on me, I would have had to ask my bodyguard for twenty dollars. If I did have some money, I likely would have given more.

A social media user added: ‘Before y’all comment, how much did you give the homeless guy??’

Weeks ago Selena said she thinks it’s ‘distasteful to talk about money.’ 

The Rare Beauty mogul commented about her brand’s success when reacting to her billionaire status during an interview Entertainment Tonight. 

On September 30, she expressed her heartfelt gratitude and added that while discussing money isn’t her preference, she wants to acknowledge and give credit to those who purchase the products.

She remarked, ‘It was them who turned my dream into reality. Consequently, I feel deeply honored and incredibly joyful.’

According to a report by Bloomberg on September 6th, this versatile individual’s net worth surpassed $1.3 billion for the first time, earning them a place on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Ever since the debut of Rare Beauty in September 2020, it’s rapidly gained traction among influencers and Gen-Z, becoming a substantial contributor to Selena Gomez’s fortune, as reported by the outlet.

In my own words, I’d say that my prosperity can be attributed not only to the melodious tunes that earned me a Grammy, but also to my successful stints on the small screen. From enchanting audiences as a character on Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place to unraveling mysteries alongside fellow actors in Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, these entertainment ventures have undoubtedly played a significant role in my financial growth.

And she sees success with frequent brand partnerships and endorsements. 

It was disclosed by the data firm that around 81% of Gomez’s earnings stem from her role within the beauty brand, based on findings from their state.

Endorsements rank second with 6.9% of her wealth and touring at 4.8% respectively.

This year, Time magazine highlighted that Rare Beauty consistently tops the sales charts at Sephora, with annual revenue steadily increasing.

Back in May, when rumors swirled about me parting ways with my thriving cosmetics empire upon reaching a staggering $2 billion net worth, I felt compelled to set the record straight. Let me assure you, my passion for beauty and making it accessible to all has only grown stronger, and I have no intention of stepping away from this empowering journey anytime soon.

‘I don’t have any plans on that, genuinely,’ the ex-girlfriend of Justin Bieber responded.

She confessed that at times it feels overwhelming. There’s an unusual aspect in her mind that causes her to lose the unique essence of Rare Beauty if she concentrates too much on the numerical aspects. She clarified that her goal for Rare Beauty was never just about making a substantial amount of money.

Selena’s comments comes just hours before Rare Beauty took to X to announce the return of Make A Rare Impact — a special fundraiser in honor of World Mental Health Day on October 10. 

According to the post, Sephora will donate 100% of Rare Beauty sales worldwide.

As a champion of wellbeing, I’m excited to share a unique opportunity with you! We’re collectively working towards a goal of raising $100M to expand global youth mental health services. On October 10th, for a full 24 hours, make your impact by shopping online or in-store at Sephora. Together, let’s make a tangible difference in the lives of countless young people!

Four years back when the brand was introduced, Selena expressed great enthusiasm about venturing into the beauty sector, aiming to boost self-confidence among her clientele.

Her intention is to launch beauty items that not only provide a wonderful sensation, but also highlight what makes each individual unique. These items aren’t about transforming into someone else; instead, they encourage self-expression, whether that means wearing a lot of vibrant makeup or very little makeup.

Uncommon Beauty stands out for its popular liquid blushes and lip glosses. Their prices vary, with a lotion pump costing around $3, while a collector’s set of liquid blush is priced at approximately $299.
