$30 Million Puma Deal
As we mentioned previously, as of September of 2017 Selena is the face of activewear company, Puma. The two-year deal paid a total of $30 million. Selena announced the deal via Instagram by posting a photo of herself wearing Puma gear and the caption “Officially a part of the fam @puma #pumapartner.”
In a press release, Gomez stated that the upcoming collaboration with Puma was “very exciting.” The press release went on to say, “Puma has changed the game when it comes to the mash-up of athletic wear and fashion … It’s amazing to see this influence on style and culture and I’m excited to be a part of it. I am hoping that we can create something special together. We already have some really cool projects in the works.”
Adam Petrick, Global Director for Brand and Marketing for PUMA said the following, “Selena is authentic, creative, talented, and fearlessly real. She is everything that today’s female consumer is looking for in a role model … In recent days, she has demonstrated just how strong she truly is. With her honesty and openness about living with Lupus, she has provided an incredible example of confidence, poise, and determination for all of us. Selena is a perfect partner for PUMA because she is not afraid of the challenges our world can offer; she fights and perseveres, which is exactly what PUMA is all about. She will not only represent our brand, but she will help to define and enhance our women’s business.”
Gomez’s first appearance for Puma will be in the brand’s latest campaign for the Phenom, one of Puma’s latest women’s footwear lines.

$10 Million Coach Deal
In December 2016 she signed a $10 million endorsement deal with bag maker, Coach. At the time, Selena was 24 years old. Not only did she become the new face of the brand, but the deal allowed for Gomez to create her own line for Coach, which had been looking to broaden their customer. The brand hoped that Gomez, who at the time was the most followed person on Instagram, would help bring in younger customers, all while staying in tune with their mature customer base.
Stuart Vevers, the creative director of Coach, says that the entire brand is looking towards a “new day at Coach.” In an interview with British Vogue, he said the following: “When I first joined, I used our history as a touchstone, so it was for me to discover the things that would be believable at Coach … I felt it was important to be bold and look forward and explore what the next generation want from luxury and fashion.”
As a result, the 75-year-old brand, which is looked at as a “heritage” brand for older people by some, has been making a concerted effort to speak to a younger audience. At Coach’s recent 75th anniversary celebration, a number of young stars made appearances, such as Michael B. Jordan, Diplo, and Zoë Kravitz. Coach hopes to parlay this young star power in the form of a new generation of Coach customers. The Gomez signing is yet another step in that direction.

Earnings from Instagram
For many years Selena was the most-followed person on Instagram. Today she has over 300 million followers.
It has been estimated that the value of a single Instagram post from Selena is worth $3.5 million to the brand paying for the post. She has been known to earn anywhere from $500,000 to $800,000 for a single sponsored post. Between her various endeavors, primarily Coach, Puma and Instagram, Selena makes $10-15 million per year. A very very impressive amount, but not quite enough to make her one of the 100 highest-paid celebrities in the world. Perhaps Ms. Gomez prefers to stay low key.

In July 2011, Selena paid $2.175 million for a home in Tarzana, California. The 4,500 square foot home sits on an acre of land and was previously owned by rising star, Jonah Hill. It is one story, and has five bedrooms and five bathrooms. The home features a large eat-in kitchen, an office space, high ceilings, lots of sunlight, and beautiful hardwood floors. There is a spa in the backyard, along with a pool, a tennis court, and a bocce ball court. She listed this home for sale in May 2014 for $3.495 million, ultimately selling it for $3.45 million in October of 2014.
In 2014 she paid $3.69 million to acquire a large house on 3.15 acres in a Calabasas gated community. She at one point tried to sell this house for $4.495 million but ultimately took a small loss. The buyer was rapper French Montana who listed the home in February 2020 for $6.6 million. Here is a video tour of that home:
In 2015 she spent an un-recorded amount to buy a very large home in Fort Worth, Texas. She listed that house for $3.499 million in 2016 and 2017 and then listed again in 2018 for $2.999 million. She sold this property in October 2020 for $2.4 million.

In April 2020, Selena paid $4.9 million for an 11,500 square-foot home in Encino, California. Tom Petty custom built the home in the late 1980s and then gave it over to his ex-wife when they divorced in 1996. Tom’s ex-wife lost the home to foreclosure in 2015. Selena purchased the home from a non-celebrity who owned it for less than a year and made a $400,000 profit on the sale.
