Selena Gomez has accumulated a considerable fortune on the back of her revenue-generating cosmetics brand, Rare Beauty, as well as her thriving careers in the music and television industries. But what about the net worth of her fiancé, Benny Blanco? The American rap artist, music producer and songwriter has collaborated with the who’s who of the music industry, including well-known artists like Katy Perry, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Maroon 5 and Justin Bieber, among others. In the process, he has made major contributions to their chart-topping numbers. So it’s really not that surprising that Blanco has amassed massive wealth.
The “I Can’t Get Enough” hitmaker was born Benjamin Joseph Levin on 8 March 1988, in Los Angeles. He started his music career under pop producer Dr. Luke (full name Lukasz Gottwald) in the mid-2000s. Dr Luke also got him onboard in his production company, Kasz Money Productions, and since then, Blanco has collaborated with several top-rated artists. Some of his early works, under Dr Luke’s wings, include 2008 hits like Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” and Britney Spears’ “Circus”, followed by Kesha’s “Tik Tok” in 2010, Rihanna’s “Diamonds” in 2012, Maroon 5’s “Payphone” in 2012 as well and “Animals” in 2014.
The fact that we have all at some point vibed to these popular songs and never realised Benny Blanco was associated with them sounds interesting, doesn’t it? Now it is clearer how Benny Blanco built his massive net worth.
The “I Said I Love You First” artist prefers to stay low-key and away from the paparazzi, but that doesn’t keep Blanco from sharing his admiration for his soon-to-be wife. In March 2025, the couple appeared on the Jay Shetty Podcast, where Blanco set relationship goals.

With news of engagement and their debut album together, Blanco and Gomez are definitely riding the high waves. ‘Tis also the perfect time to explore his net worth and career.
Decoding Benny Blanco’s net worth, career highlights, assets and more
What is Benny Blanco’s net worth in 2025?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Blanco has a net worth of USD 50 million. The majority of this amount is a result of co-producing and co-writing songs for the elites of the music world.
In 2019, he sold 93 songs from his catalogue to Hipgnosis Songs Fund Limited for an undisclosed amount. However, we can deduce that the amount he received was significant because a few months after this deal, he splurged USD 9.2 million on a mansion in West Hollywood. Now that’s mighty impressive, isn’t it?
Benny Blanco has collaborated with top artists
Throughout his career, Blanco has not only collaborated with A-listed musicians and singers but has also been instrumental in creating some of their chart-topping hits.
For instance, one of Blanco’s early projects with Dr. Luke was Spears’ “Circus”, which they wrote with fellow producer and songwriter Claude Kelly. The song was a massive hit and reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 2008. The following year, he worked on Kesha’s “Tik Tok”, writing the lyrics and producing the music. It was certified 12x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and has garnered over one billion streams on Spotify.
In 2010, Blanco played a crucial role in creating and promoting Maroon 5’s hit track “Moves Like Jagger.” He convinced the band’s record label executives to drop the song they were promoting on the radio and instead let Adam Levine perform “Moves Like Jagger” on The Voice. This step worked wonders, and the song soared to the top spot on iTunes.
Then there is Rihanna’s “Diamonds”, released in September 2012 — the lead single of her seventh studio album Unapologetic. In the following month, Blanco told The Source, “We had one day to finish it. We didn’t even have her vocals yet. We had to finish all the music around it without even having her vocals, and I was like ‘There’s no way this is happening.’ Then, we get the song the next day, we had to mix the song the same day and master it, and then it was out like a few days later.” “Diamonds” became Rihanna’s 12th No. 1 single and was certified Diamond by the RIAA.

The same year, Blanco worked on “Payphone” by Maroon 5 featuring Wiz Khalifa. In 2013, Adam Levine praised his calibre while speaking with The New York Times: “It’s almost as if he [Blanco] has the Midas touch in putting the right people together at the right time to create a musical moment. He’s about the collaboration. And he’s so good at nailing down who does everything best.” “Payphone” was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category in 2013.
In 2014, Benny Blanco landed his first collaboration with Ed Sheeran — “Don’t” from X (Multiply) album. The song notably shows Blanco’s prowess as a producer and songwriter. Interestingly, they wrote it in under two hours on the very first day they met in person.
Blanco’s musical repertoire also includes other popular tracks such as “Stereo Hearts” by Gym Class Heroes, Jessie J’s “Thunder,” Rixton’s (later known as Push Baby) “Me and My Broken Heart,” Vance Joy’s “Fire and the Flood” and Tory Lanez’s “Luv.”
These songs are proof that Benny’s net worth is a culmination of his incredibly successful projects, hard work and determination.
He has worked with Justin Bieber as well
Yes, that’s right, Benny Blanco has worked with Justin Bieber on several occasions. In 2015, he and Sheeran wrote “Love Yourself”, which was eventually taken up by Bieber for his fourth studio album, Purpose. Interesting fact, the two conceived the song on a tour bus from Canada to the US in 2015 and were inspired by the latter’s disinterest in talking about his personal life in a song. Later, Blanco also collaborated with Bieber as a songwriter and producer on “Lonely”, a part of his 2021 album Justice.
Work and relationship with Selena Gomez
Long before Benny Blanco started dating Selena Gomez, he had crossed paths with her in 2015 for her Revival album. Although it was mainly written by fellow pop star Charli XCX and Ross Golan, Blanco and Stargate joined the project as producers and contributed to the lyrics, marking the first time Selena and Benny worked together.
In 2019, he produced one of his most successful collaborations with Gomez when he partnered with Tainy and J Balvin for “I Can’t Get Enough.” It was originally released as a single but was later included in her 2025 album, I Said I Love You First.
Gomez announced their relationship in 2023. Mushy posts on Instagram, their couple appearances at events and how he speaks about her are proof that they are deeply in love. In December 2024, Selena announced their engagement on Instagram, with an image of her dazzling diamond ring, which reportedly cost USD 225,000.

He further went on to release other songs like “I Found You” in collaboration with Calvin Harris, “Better to Lie” with Swae Lee and Jesse Rutherford, and “Roses”, which was a collaboration with Juice WRLD featuring Brendon Urie. These songs are included in his debut album Friends Keep Secrets (2018).
He also has a record label
In 2014, the music producer founded two imprint labels under Interscope: Mad Love Records and Friends Keep Secrets. Noted artists under his banners include Ryan Beatty, Cashmere Cat and Rixton (now known as Push Baby).
