Here’s How Benny Blanco’s Net Worth Compares to Selena Gomez—& Her Ex Justin Bieber
Benny Blanco isn’t just Selena Gomez’s fiancé, though he is now that too. Blanco is a rap artist, songwriter, and producer who has co-written and produced a significant number of hit singles for a lot of big names in music. He might be pretty well known for his time dating Gomez, or for his collaborations with Justin Bieber, but Blanco has also written and co-produced songs for Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Maroon 5, and Britney Spears.
Not just that, Blanco is an artist in his own right. In 2018, he released his debut single as a lead artist titled “Eastside,” which went on to make it to the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100. After that, he went on to release “I Found You,” “Better to Lie,” and “Roses,” all singles from his debut album “Friends Keep Secrets.” But Blanco is, perhaps, better known for his collaborations with other artists, including on tracks like “Diamonds” by Rihanna, “Payphone” by Wiz Khalifa & Maroon 5, “Blow” by Ke$ha, “Dynamite” by Taio Cruz, “Circus” by Britney Spears, and “I Kissed a Girl” by Katy Perry.

Considering all of that, Blanco is worth a considerable amount. So, what is Benny Blanco’s net worth? How does it compare to his fiancée Selena Gomez? Here’s what we know.
Benny Blanco’s net worth
Benny Blanco’s net worth is reported to be around $50 million dollars according to Celebrity Net Worth. Nothing to scoff at, but much less than Selena Gomez’s reported net worth of $1.3 billion dollars. Yes, that’s billions. So, he doesn’t make bad money and he can continue to make good money but it’s fair to say Gomez will likely always have him beat in this department. And how does Justin Bieber compare? Firmly in the middle of the two, as Bieber is worth around $300 million, far more than Blanco but way less than Gomez.

Most of Blanco’s net worth comes from his catalog. In 2019 he reportedly sold 93 songs from that catalog to Hipgnosis Songs Fund Limited for an undisclosed amount. Whatever that undisclosed amount was, there have been reports that comparable sales have been somewhere in the $40-50 million range, so there is that. Even without concrete numbers, with the amount of hits he was been involved in and the fact that his music career is still ongoing, it’s fair to say this will continue to be a moneymaking venture for Blanco for as long as he wants to continue doing it.
Then there’s Blanco’s real estate holdings. In 2011 he paid $3.445 million for a condo in NYC’s Chelsea neighborhood. He later listed this property for sale for $3.995 million. Then in 2015, he paid $2.13 million for a house in West Hollywood. Fast forward to 2018, he paid $4.4 million for one in Malibu. In 2019 he went ahead and paid $2.34 million for another house in West Hollywood because you gotta have two of those. And, not content with that, in January 2020, Blanco paid $9.2 million for a mansion in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles. Considering he doesn’t seem to be living on any of them, we can call them all a good investment!
