Selena Gomez was ranked a billionaire for the first time, in early September, on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Talking about this new landmark in her career, the Emilia Perez actress told Entertainment Tonight, “I’m very grateful,” in an interview on Monday, September 30.

“I personally think it’s distasteful to talk about money. But I really am giving all the credit to the people who buy the products,” Gomez said. “They’re the ones that made this dream of mine come true. So I’m really, really honoured and just happy.”

According to the Bloomberg report, her current net worth stands at $1.3 billion.

The Love On songstress launched her beauty line, Rare Beauty, four years ago accompanied by her third studio album, Rare.

The brand reportedly accounts for the “vast bulk of Gomez’s wealth” today per the outlet.

The Disney alum has entered a diverse range of career avenues apart from singer and acting, which includes entrepreneurship. 

The outlet compared Gomez’s financial success to Taylor Swift’s, who reached the billionaire status exclusively through her musical career.

Previously, the Lose You to Love Me hitmaker denied rumours regarding the sale of her beauty brand.

“I don’t have any plans on that, genuinely,” she told The Times earlier this year. “I will admit it overwhelms me sometimes. I have this weird thing in my head where if I focus on the numbers, I’ll lose whatever it is that made Rare Beauty Rare Beauty.”

Gomez concluded, “I never wanted it to be about making a lot of money and that’s it.”

The actress is currently gearing up for the release of her upcoming Emilia Perez, which is slated to come out in early November. 

Angelina Jolie has seemingly thrown shade at her ex-husband Brad Pitt as she signed posters of their iconic series Mr. & Mrs. Smith at the 2024 New York Film Festival.

On September 30, Jolie completely ignored the Fight Club actor’s face on a TV series flyer during the autograph session.

Pitt’s ex-wife appeared to avoid eye contact with his image while signing her name next to her own face on the banner.

According to Page Six, the Maleficent alum attended the star-studded night to promote her forthcoming biopic movie, Maria.

The 49-year-old actress was accompanied by her three children including Maddox, 23, Pax, 20 and Zahara, 19 for the show.

For the event, Jolie donned a black coat over a long silk dress which she styled with nude heels and black aviator sunglasses.

For the unversed, Jolie and Pitt co-starred in an Action/Comedy series, the same year when Pitt finalized his separation from actress Jennifer Aniston.

Moreover, the former power couple tied the knot in 2014 and parted ways back in 2019. 

The now exes share six children including Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, 18, Vivienne, 16 and Knox, 16.

It is important to mention that the duo have been engaged in a prolonged legal dispute since they separated.

Prince Harry has seemingly tried to melt his cancer-stricken father King Charles’s heart with an emotional confession made during a meaningful speech at the 2024 WellChild Awards in London.

The Duke of Sussex opened up about the emotional parenting journey while addressing the special children and their “superhero parents, carers, siblings and professionals” for tirelessly performing their roles.

Harry said, “As a parent, I know a little about the emotional rollercoaster of parenting!”

He added, “But when I hear about the care many of you mums, dads, and family members provide, the level of round-the-clock care you offer, the skills you’ve had to learn and the battles for support that you fight every single day, I am truly in awe.”

Harry, who stepped down from his senior royal role in 2020 alongside his wife Meghan Markle, resides in Montecito with two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Since his exit, the former working royal made it to the bad books of his father with public attacks on his family. 

However, now it is said that Harry might want to win back the monarch’s trust, especially during his battle with cancer.

Prince Harry seemingly took on a regal look as he returned to the UK for the third time this year for a special charity event.

The Duke of Sussex was attending the WellChild Awards on Monday where he was invited as a special guest of the evening.

According to a body language expert, Harry appeared confident and delighted to return to his home country, a stark contrast to his often nervous-looking demeanour in the US.

“With a large ‘Oh’ of happy recognition and anticipation, Harry looks relaxed and delighted on this UK visit,” Judi James told The Mirror. “Arriving using the kind of pace and intentional gestures to suggest keenness and authentic pleasure.”

She noted that Harry strides into the room, smoothing his tie once with his hand, which was “in contrast with the constant and very anxious-looking tie-smoothing and yanking he was seen performing in New York last week.”

James also suggested that Harry had a skip in his step given his interactions with children and adults.

“The royal role seems to suit him here and he leans into some very animated handshakes, looking eager to engage his hosts in friendly conversation,” she explained.

Moreover, James also pointed out that Harry appeared to have slipped back into his royal persona as he “adopts a royal body language.”

“The way he sustains and even re-boots an eye and mouth smile while being photographed shows he is keen to show his happiness here to the world,” she surmised.

The comments come amid reports that Prince Harry is hoping to make a return to royal duties as his father King Charles continues his cancer treatment.

However, there is no official statement issued on the matter.
