Selena Gomez’s net worth skyrockets to $800m after Serena Williams’ investment

Captured the attention of social media users
Prior to her retirement at the US Open last year, Serena Williams made a notable investment of $5 million in the start-up ‘Wondermind’, led by pop singer and actress Selena Gomez.

Wondermind aims to raise awareness about mental health, depression, and addiction issues. Almost a year after Serena Williams’ investment in the start-up, Gomez’s net worth has reportedly skyrocketed to an impressive $800 million. This remarkable increase has captured the attention of social media users.

Serena Williams’ $5 million investment in August 2022 boosted Wondermind’s valuation to $100 million. Besides investing, Williams also pledged her involvement in the start-up’s creative and brand promotion endeavors. In contrast, Selena Gomez’s net worth was estimated to be around $95 million last year.

However, recent reports indicate a significant surge in Gomez’s net worth, now standing at approximately $800 million. This astonishing leap has left many fans on Twitter amazed and bewildered.

“How did she make all that money tho,” a user wondered.

Another added: “Find $800 MIL hard to believe, especially up from $95 MIL. Unless she sold a company or something. I don’t know if she owns her masters but selling her catalogue wouldn’t be that much.”

Ohanian, who founded Reddit, also took to Twitter to share about the impact she’s had on the world. “I’ve seen over the last 7 years how much y’all love my wife—what she means to so many, worldwide. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen,” he tweeted. “Plenty of folks have told me ‘how Reddit changed their life,’ but the scale & impact of ‘how Serena changed my life’ stories absolutely dwarfs it.”

He continued, “And that’s just the stuff I hear when people come up to me to say hi. You simply cannot overstate the size and influence she’s had on so many people. And for what it’s worth, as far as I can tell, she has no idea. She doesn’t think about it.”

Here’s everything you need to know about Alexis Ohanian—husband to Serena Williams, tech entrepreneur, and investor.

Ohanian was born in 1983 to a German mother and a father who is the son of Armenian refugees; his paternal grandparents fled the Arrmenian genocide.

“I have a bit of a crush on the Statue of Liberty… I look at that every day and keep in perspective—coming from a family of immigrants—everything they went through to give me the good fortune I’ve had,” he said.

His parents soon moved to the suburbs of Washington, D.C., where he graduated from Howard High School in 2001.”I went to high school in Ellicott City, Maryland, and I felt pretty ambivalent about the whole thing. It just took time away from my doing things on the Internet… In school, I was just a kid. Online, I had authority. My parents were cool with it, although I guess they didn’t know I was e-mailing total strangers,” he recalled in a 2012 profile.

He then went to the University of Virginia; he graduated in 2005 with degrees in history and commerce. At UVA, he met Steve Huffman on the first day of freshman year and they bonded over a shared love of video games.
