Billionaire Selena Gomez slammed for giving homeless man just $20 for food

Newly minted illionaire Selena Gomez slammed for giving homeless man only $20 for food.
A widely circulated clip shows Gomez, who recently told how she finds it ‘distasteful’ to talk about her billionaire status, is seen giving the man money as she left the Nobu Fifty Seven Japanese restaurant in New York last Tuesday.
In the footage supplied to TMZ, The Calm Down singer was seen greeting her fans as the man approached her, before she stopped as she headed towards her vehicle and asked her bodyguard if he had any cash on him.

He then handed the man a $20 bill, before singer told him to “have a good meal.”
Social media users have slammed the Emelia Perez star for only giving the man “spare change” despite her vast fortune.

One person wrote: “With the amount of money she makes, that’s like given [sic] the homeless man a dime.” Another fumed: “She couldn’t spare more than 20 dollars?? She’s a millionaire.”
A third fumed: “20 dollars that’s it [sic]?.” A fourth added: “She could have bought him a house.”
Gomez’s has amassed a jaw-dropping net worth of a whopping $1.3 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
The actress is said to have has built up most of her fortune recently from her Rare Beauty cosmetics range. More than 80% of her wealth is tied to the beauty brand, which she has a 51% majority interest in.
Speaking about the range in a 2023 interview with 1 02.7 KIISFM, Gomez said: “I really tried my hardest to create a product that were beyond just me putting my name on something.
“I wanted the products to be great, and I also wanted the message to be that makeup is meant to be fun.”

Gomez discussed her reluctance to talk about her fortune in an interview as she attended the 2024 New York Film Festival for the Emilia Perez premiere in New York on Monday, September 30.
She was asked by Entertainment Tonight about how she feels about her “billionaire status” and she responded by saying that she was “grateful” but finds it “distasteful to talk about money,” the Mirror US reports.
She also expressed her appreciation for those who purchase Rare Beauty products, crediting them with making her “dream” a reality.
Fans were quick to commend Selena for her “humble” stance, flooding the comments section with praise.
One fan commented, “Talk about humbled. I love seeing it from billionaires. It’s rare.” While another chimed in: “She is such a classic genuine beauty inside and out. How could you not love her? [red heart emoji].”
