Selena Gomez:

• triple threat
• born down the street from us: Grand Prairie, TX

As of 2017, Gomez has sold over seven million albums and 22 million singles worldwide, according to Billboard. 

Named Billboard's Woman of the Year in 2017. 

Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2020. 

The most followed musician and actress on Instagram. 

Gomez's other ventures include makeup, clothing, handbag and fragrance lines. She has worked with many charitable organizations and served as a UNICEF ambassador since age 17. 

She earned her high-school diploma through homeschooling in May 2010.

Gomez was born when her mother was 16 years old. 

The family had financial troubles throughout Gomez's childhood, her mother struggling to provide for the pair (after parents divorced, when Gomez was five years old). 

At one point, Gomez recalls that they had to search for quarters just to get gas for their car. 

Her mother later recalled that the two would frequently walk to their local dollar store to buy spaghetti for dinner. 

Gomez has said, "I was frustrated that my parents weren't together, and never saw the light at the end of the tunnel where my mom was working hard to provide a better life for me. I'm terrified of what I would have become if I'd stayed [in Texas]." 

She later added that her mother "was really strong around me. Having me at 16 had to have been a big responsibility. She gave up everything for me, had three jobs, supported me, sacrificed her life for me." 

Gomez had a close relationship with her grandparents as a child and appeared in various pageants. Her grandparents often took care of her while her parents finished their schooling, and she has said they "raised her" until she found success in show business.
