It looks like Selena Gomez may have reason to celebrate — and in a very expensive way.

According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, the multi-hyphenate is now allegedly worth a whopping $1.3 billion. That’s a lot of greenbacks.

Of course, if you’ve been following Selena’s career, you know she has a lot of side hustles — including her Rare Beauty brand, which she reportedly invests 81% of her money into.

Billionaires are a touchy subject these days, which makes sense — when it comes to money and finances, it’s really tough, man. So of course the internet had mixed feelings about these reports:

Selena Gomez went from poverty to self-made billionaire, she’s been working since she was 7, she’s truly a woman to be admired

Selena Gomez, being the youngest self-made American billionaire, moves me to tears when I think about her upbringing and the hard work she has put in, how much good she has done and how much she has donated to charity. photo:twitter.com/pUeGHzCAUq

Selena Gomez is always doing projects that have an impact on society. She uses her rare beauty resources to help with mental health. Her cooking show has donated over $500k to various organizations. She has a company focused on mental health care. And yet she’s a billionaire WOW. https://t.co/O5urvygbZn

Some even made comparisons that seemed, um, a bit unnecessary:

Selena Gomez is a billionaire. Taylor Swift is a billionaire. You know who isn’t a billionaire? One convicted felon, former president, Donald “I’m Going to Jail” Trump.

Others noted that being a billionaire these days is not something to be proud of:

Why do people say billionaires are bad, when Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez become billionaires, suddenly they’re like, “Go girl!”

While others continue to state some difficult truths that we can all identify with:
