Whether its her success on Only Murders In The Building, or her new music, Selena Gomez has a lot to be proud of - and many streams of revenue.

The social media sensation shared her gratitude for all her followers with a series of Instagram posts for her over 400 million followers, sharing snippets from her star-studded birthday celebration as well.

As we celebrate Selena, let's take a look at her work over the years, specifically through her net worth, which is so much higher than you'd think!

What is Selena Gomez's net worth?

According to Celebritynetworth.com, Selena is worth a staggering $800 million, the highest of her fellow Disney alumni. It even eclipses her BFF Taylor Swift's net worth, currently at a still massive $600 million (although that's before residuals from The Eras Tour start rolling in).

The total comes not only courtesy of her career as an actress and singer-songwriter, but also as a producer, entrepreneur, beauty mogul, mental health advocate, lucrative endorsements, and her social media fame.

How much did Selena Gomez make from her work on the Disney channel?

Acting has been a large contributor to Selena's fame, given she made her screen debut at the age of ten on Barney & Friends. Roles in Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly Place, Another Cinderella Story, and other Disney entries made her a star.

Selena reportedly earned $30,000 per episode of Wizards of Waverly Place, earning more than $3 million altogether for her role as Alex.

MoneyInc reported that she earned $3,000 per episode for her role in Barney & Friends.

How much does Selena Gomez make from Only Murders in the Building?

Selena's latest big acting gig, Only Murders in the Buildingsees her rubbing shoulders with the likes of Steve Martin and Martin Short, who reportedly earn $600,000 per episode according to Variety. As Selena not only co-stars but is one of the executive producers of the show, it's safe to say she likely earns a similar amount to them.

How much does Selena Gomez make from other acting gigs?

In her adult years, the singer has diversified her offerings as an actress, including the likes of Spring Breakers and Monte Carlo. 

It's unknown how much she was paid for Spring Breakers, the Harmony Korine cult classic. But with the modest budget of $5 million, the film grossed $31.7 million in the box office - yet actress Ashley Benson claimed she was never paid for her role in the film at all.

As well as acting, Selena is also a producer on Only Murders, alongside other hit series like 13 Reasons Why, Living Undocumented, and Selena + Chef, the latter of which earned her a Daytime Emmy nomination.

How much does Selena Gomez make from music?

Her music career has also been quite successful, spanning from her early years with her band, Selena Gomez & The Scene, to her solo career, including three number one albums and nine top ten singles.

Back in 2013, her debut solo album rocketed her net worth to $10 million thanks to high sales, and when it comes to touring Selena made $35.3 million from the Stars Dance Tonight Tour and $35.6 million from the Revival Tour.
