Singer Selena Gomez, who has a net worth of 1.3 billion dollars, faced backlash for giving only 20 dollars to a homeless man.

Famous singer and actress Selena Gomez was criticized for giving a homeless man 20 dollars while leaving a restaurant in New York. The 32-year-old star, worth 1.3 billion dollars, sparked a debate on social media with this action.

Some users argued that 20 dollars is very little compared to Gomez's wealth, while others praised the star's generosity. It was also noted that Gomez asked her bodyguard for 20 dollars because she didn't have cash on her and that she could normally give more.

This incident reminded people of Gomez's recent statement that "talking about money is tasteless." While discussing the success of her cosmetics brand Rare Beauty, Selena emphasized that all the credit belongs to the customers who buy the products.

According to a report by Bloomberg, a large portion of Gomez's wealth comes from Rare Beauty. Since its establishment in 2020, the brand has gained significant popularity, especially among Generation Z. 81% of Selena's income comes from this brand, 6.9% from advertisements, and 4.8% from concert tours.

Gomez stated that her brand is not just about making money, but she wants to help people feel special. She also announced that her brand will hold a special donation campaign on October 10, World Mental Health Day.

Rare Beauty is particularly known for its liquid blush and lip glosses. Product prices range from 3 dollars to 299 dollars. Selena emphasizes that the purpose of her brand is to celebrate people being themselves.

This incident sparked an interesting discussion about how celebrity charitable actions are perceived and interpreted.
