Selena Gomez has earned an Emmy nomination this year for "Only Murders in the Building," but not for acting. She earned her first Emmy nomination as an executive producer.

The Latina actress is co-starring with Martin Short and Steve Martin in the Hulu series, which was also nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series, according to USA Today.

Gomez was only the second Latina to get a producing nomination for comedy series. The first one was Salma Hayek for ABC's "Ugly Betty" in 2007.

Gomez is known for her starring role in the Disney television series "Wizards of Waverly Place." Aside from her acting gig, she has hit pop songs such as "Come & Get It" and "Same Old Love."

But before her Disney role, she was also part of PBS children's television series "Barney & Friends" and appeared regularly on the program from 2002 to 2004.

According to Britannica, Gomez was named after the iconic Latina singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez and was raised in suburban Dallas, Texas. Her father is Mexican, while her mother is Italian.

Most of her roles during her early years were more family-friendly. She then moved to a more daring image with her role in the 2012 movie "Spring Breakers," wherein she was an adventure-seeking college student.

Selena Gomez Net Worth

The Latina artist has experience in every aspect of the entertainment industry. Selena Gomez earned most of her money through her singing, songwriting, and acting career.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Gomez has a net worth of $85 million. The Latina actress was known to have been paid $30,000 per episode for her work on "Wizards of Waverly Place."

Gomez has a huge following on social media, having 42 million followers on TikTok and more than 300 million followers on Instagram.

She signed a two-year $30 million endorsement deal with the shoe company Puma in September 2017, making her the brand's new face with Rihanna. Aside from Puma, she also signed a $10 million endorsement deal in December 2016 with Coach.

Being a popular figure on social media, Gomez is believed to be worth $3.5 million for the value of one Instagram post from her. A single sponsored post can give her earnings of around $500,000 to $800,000.

Gomez is estimated to make $10-15 million per year. However, it does not place her as one of the 100 highest-paid celebrities in the world.
