In a world where friendships have the lifespan of short and scandal-ridden Mayflies, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift seem to have discovered the alchemy of lasting loyalty. Through the endless buffet of gossip and rumors, they have clung to each other as though clinging to the last lifeboat on a sinking ship. And fortunately for them, that lifeboat is made of money, too.

They say friendship is priceless, but evidently, the market has its exceptions. Both singers are now billionaires, however, one among the two holds the higher ground.

While Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift look like two fabulously dressed peas in a pot when they are together, one stands taller than the other, not just in terms of age and height, but also finances. As if keeping the tradition of coming first alive, Taylor Swift stands the richer among the two, with a net worth of $1.6 Billion. However, Selena Gomez is not too far away with her $1.3 Billion net worth.

The reason behind Gomez lagging a tad bit behind her long legged best friend may have more to do with the fact that she only recently joined the billionaire list after spending years on edge. Regardless, the two leading ladies are among a thin list of self made billionaires.

While Gomez and Taylor Swift may have found a way to stand next to each other, even on the billionaires list, the path they took in getting there could not have been any more different.

Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez have both spent the better half of their adult lives in the limelight. However, it was only recently that the two broke the millionaire boundary to enter into the billionaire territory. While Swift did it solely through the earnings from her music and real estate, Selena Gomez had to start her own business.

Gomez has been an actress since her teenage days and has made a name for herself with her musical background, however, it was her Rare beauty brand that truly sealed the deal. Moreover, after Rihanna, it was Selena Gomez who truly built the celebrity beauty business empire. Regardless of who reached higher, the two best friends always find a way to stand beside each other.
