On January 28, Selena Gomez suddenly posted a clip mourning a series of Mexican immigrants being deported from the US under President Donald Trump ‘s new policy . The former Disney princess shed tears: “My people are being attacked, even the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. I don’t understand, I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I will try to do everything, I promise.”
The clip has sparked heated debate on social media. Many people criticized Selena Gomez for expressing inappropriate emotions, even being “hypocritical”. Others sympathized with the 1992-𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 beauty because she has Mexican blood and is grieving over the plight of her fellow countrymen.
After Selena Gomez posted the controversial clip, Senator Sam Parker boldly responded that the star should also be deported. On Instagram, Selena Gomez pointed directly at the Senator: “Oh Mr. Parker, Mr. Parker. Thanks for the laugh and the threat.” Selena Gomez has legal US citizenship, so she cannot be deported. Currently, this case has not been resolved.

Billionaire Selena Gomez finds it uncomfortable to talk about money
Selena Gomez is officially a billionaire thanks to the success of her cosmetics brand Rare Beauty. But the 32-year-old beauty doesn’t think talking about money is a good thing.
Selena Gomez admits she feels uncomfortable discussing her finances. “I’m so grateful. But personally, I find it uncomfortable to talk about money,” the actress told Entertainment Tonight . “I want to give all the credit to the people who buy my stuff. They’re the people who make this dream of mine come true. So I’m really honored, grateful, and happy.”

Since its launch in September 2020, Rare Beauty has become extremely popular with social media influencers, beauty bloggers, and Gen Z. Selena’s wealth is also noted from various entertainment projects as a successful singer, actress, and advertising face.

Earlier this year, Time magazine reported that Rare Beauty was the best-selling brand at Sephora and continues to climb the rankings with increasing sales every year. In May, Selena denied rumors that she would sell her cosmetics empire after reaching a net worth of $2 billion.
The data company revealed that about 81% of Selena’s income comes from her cosmetics brand, with endorsements coming in second at 6.9% of her total fortune, and touring at 4.8%
“I really didn’t have a plan for it. I admit sometimes it’s overwhelming. There’s this weird thing in my head that if I focus on the numbers, I’ll lose whatever it is that makes Rare Beauty. I never wanted it to just be a job that makes a lot of money and that’s it,” the 9X billionaire said.
When she launched her brand four years ago, Selena said she was excited to venture into the beauty industry and wanted to empower her customers. The Calm Down singer’s goal is to create beauty products that not only feel great, but also celebrate what makes each person their own.
