So you were watching the Golden Globes, and Nikki Glaser cracked a genie joke about Benny Blanco being engaged to Selena Gomez. Your brain went, “Wait…who?” And now you’re here, trying to figure out how this guy, who isn't a pop star or an A-list actor, is marrying one of the most recognizable women on the planet. Well, let’s just say Benny Blanco may not be a household name like Selena, but he’s definitely a powerhouse behind the scenes and his net worth proves it.
From hit songs to Hollywood real estate to producing megastars, Blanco's career is more stacked than a Grammy afterparty guest list.
What is Benny Blanco’s Net Worth in 2025?
As of April 2025, Benny Blanco’s net worth is estimated to be $50 million, according to Men’s Journal. And while he doesn’t have a billion-dollar beauty brand like his fiancée Selena Gomez (who’s now worth around $1.3 billion), he’s not exactly pinching pennies. Blanco has made his fortune through producing, songwriting, investing, and an enviable catalog of music publishing rights.
Remember when he sold 93 of his songs in 2019? The price tag was never disclosed, but you don’t do that kind of deal unless there are serious dollar signs involved. That same year, he bought a $9 million mansion.
The Music Credits That Print Money
Blanco is one of those rare talents in the music industry who racks up both creative acclaim and financial wins. He's been producing and writing hits for more than a decade, and his credits include Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl,” Rihanna’s “Diamonds,” and Ed Sheeran’s “Don’t.”
And that’s just the greatest hits reel. He’s also worked with artists like Justin Bieber, Halsey, Maroon 5, and The Weeknd. If there’s a pop playlist on your phone, chances are Benny Blanco had something to do with it.
These songwriting and producing gigs come with royalties, upfront payments, backend percentages, and licensing deals. In short: every time you hear a hit he touched, he’s likely making money from it.
His Relationship with Selena Gomez (and Business Ties)
Blanco and Selena Gomez started dating in mid-2023, but their professional relationship goes way back. He first worked on Gomez’s 2015 album "Revival", and he's continued collaborating with her on multiple projects through 2023. When they finally confirmed their relationship publicly, fans were excited but music insiders? They weren’t surprised.
They’re more than just a couple, they’re a creative team. And when Gomez’s Rare Beauty brand hit unicorn status, their combined star power as a couple officially made headlines.
As of December 2024, the two are engaged and while we don’t have a wedding date yet, their combined net worth, well north of $1.3 billion puts them firmly in power couple territory.
Real Estate and Investments
Blanco isn’t just smart in the studio, he’s savvy off the charts, too. In 2019, he dropped $9 million on a Los Angeles mansion, joining the elite crowd of music producers who understand that real estate is its own hit record.
Though most of his financial details remain private (like any good celebrity keeping it quiet), industry sources suggest he’s also involved in music publishing, and potentially holds equity stakes in ventures tied to streaming and digital content platforms.
How Does Benny Blanco’s Net Worth Compare?
With a net worth around $50 million, Benny Blanco ranks among the wealthiest and most successful music producers working today. He’s not just playing in the same league as the hitmakers, he’s helping define it. While he doesn’t have the $500 million empire of Dr. Dre (thanks to Beats by Dre and a legendary catalog) or Max Martin’s reported $350 million fortune (from penning virtually every pop hit since the '90s), Blanco still holds his own as one of the most commercially prolific producers of the last decade.
He’s outpaced many of his peers who never transitioned beyond the studio. For example, Diplo is estimated to be worth around $70 million as well, while Mark Ronson (famous for “Uptown Funk”) clocks in at approximately $20 million.
What's Next for Benny Blanco?
Expect more hits. More projects. And probably more headlines. Blanco is already at the top of his game in music production, and with his name now regularly trending thanks to his relationship with Gomez, don’t be surprised if he starts appearing in more business ventures, executive producer credits, or even film scores.
Whether it’s through real estate, royalty streams, or collaborative projects with Selena, Benny Blanco is building a legacy, not just a playlist.
Benny Blanco may have gotten a Golden Globes punchline, but don’t let the jokes fool you because he’s very much the real deal. With a net worth of $50 million and a résumé that could crash Spotify, he’s proven that you don’t need to be front and center to make it big.
He’s written the songs everyone sings, he’s earned the checks most artists dream of, and he’s engaged to one of the most successful entertainers of her generation.
