The news of Selena Gomez's engagement to Benny Blanco has taken the entertainment world by surprise despite the couple's numerous public displays of affection. Following the announcement, which took place the year in which the 'Emilia Pérez' actress joined the billionaire club, one question lingers: how much is her fiancé worth?
Benny Blanco's career has been nothing short of impressive. Over the years he has established himself as a successful music producer, creating hits for artists such as Halsey, Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, Maroon 5, Katy Perry, Selena herself, and even her ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber. This body of work has helped him amass a net worth of $50 million.
While a significant portion of his wealth comes from the music industry, it's not his only source of income. Benny recently ventured into publishing, inspired by his passion for cooking—a love he shares with Selena—releasing a cookbook titled 'Open Wide: A Cookbook for Friends.'
Among his notable assets is a luxurious Los Angeles residence, featured in an issue of Architectural Digest this year. Built in the 1930s and extensively renovated since he purchased it in 2019, the mansion is valued at approximately $10 million.
It boasts a home theater, pool, spa, barbecue area, and a greenhouse dining room in its sprawling garden.
In addition to his LA home, Benny owns an apartment in the exclusive Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, New York. Purchased in 2011 for $3.44 million, the property was listed for sale a few months ago at $3.75 million but has yet to find a buyer. Like his Los Angeles estate, the Chelsea apartment offers luxury amenities, including 24-hour doorman service, valet parking, conference rooms, and green spaces.
Despite his diverse ventures and his established name in the music industry, Benny's fortune is modest compared to that of his fiancée, Selena, whose net worth stands at $1.3 billion—making her 26 times wealthier than her partner.
This financial disparity, however, has not posed any issues for the couple, who openly celebrate each other's individual achievements. With their union on the horizon, Benny and Selena are poised to continue building their careers while solidifying their status as one of the most prominent power couples.
