Selena Gomez’s mother take out loan sparking question on billionaire status

The “Love On” singer’s mom recently took out a loan of an undisclosed amount against her own home to help Wondermind, the billionaire artist’s mental health startup, pay its 15 workers. Through Mandy Teefey’s efforts, the startup has been able to compensate its employees for one out of two missed paychecks.

Nevertheless, the company has yet to clear its payments to freelancers and other vendors. While Wondermind owes “tens of thousands” to the said parties, as per Forbes, the organization still has to pay an estimated $60,000 to a PR firm.

The outlet further reported that monetary issues with the startup began in January 2023 when Gomez’s mother took charge of Wondermind as its sole CEO. Emails obtained by Forbes further highlighted the company’s dire situation, with Teefey even informing her employees that their healthcare partners will be forfeiting their benefits, in one of the messages.

Due to Wondermind’s precarious condition, combined with Mandy Teefy’s recent decision to take out a loan, fans have asked questions about how Selena Gomez is a billionaire. The “People You Know” singer made it to the elusive 10-digit club in September 2024, with a reported net worth of $1.3 billion.

According to Bloomberg, a majority of Gomez’s wealth comes from her Rare Beauty makeup brand, which she launched in 2020. Meanwhile, her acting and singing ventures, real estate investments, and paid partnerships also add handsomely to her massive fortune.
