Benny Blanco Net Worth 2025: How Much Does Selena Gomez Finance Make?
Benny Blanco has been quietly dominating the charts for nearly two decades—and now, with his engagement to Selena Gomez, he’s become a household name outside the studio too. But long before the headlines about his personal life, Blanco was already making waves as one of the most successful music producers in the world.
From Indie Beginnings to Pop Royalty
Born Benjamin Joseph Levin on March 8, 1988, in Los Angeles, Benny Blanco, now 37 years old, didn’t initially set out to become a pop hitmaker. In fact, Blanco started his career crafting indie hip-hop and electronic tracks before a serendipitous introduction to producer Dr. Luke changed everything.
“I didn’t know pop music,” Blanco admitted in a past interview, recalling how Dr. Luke took him under his wing and introduced him to icons like Max Martin, who helped shape the sound of modern pop.
Thrown into writing rooms with some of the best in the business, Blanco quickly learned the magic behind crafting a perfect hook. “You’re sitting in a room with Luke, Max, all these big pop people, and I’m like, ‘Yeah, man!’” he joked. From that crash course, Blanco refined his knack for blending pop with hip-hop, leading to his first major breakthrough.
The Hits That Made Benny Blanco a Hitmaker
Blanco’s production resume reads like a greatest hits playlist. His early work with Katy Perry on “I Kissed a Girl” in 2008 catapulted him into the pop stratosphere. From there, it was hit after hit:
- “Teenage Dream” by Katy Perry (2010)
- “Moves Like Jagger” by Maroon 5 feat. Christina Aguilera (2011)
- “Diamonds” by Rihanna (2012)
- “Love Yourself” by Justin Bieber (2015)
- “Shape of You” by Ed Sheeran (2017)
Net Worth in 2025
With years of chart-toppers under his belt, Benny Blanco has amassed an estimated net worth of $50 million as of 2025. His wealth comes not just from producing mega-hits but also from songwriting royalties, solo projects, and collaborations with some of the biggest names in the industry.
Working With Both Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber
Interestingly, Blanco has worked closely with both Selena Gomez and her ex, Justin Bieber. He co-produced Bieber’s “Love Yourself” in 2015—a track rumored by fans to be about Gomez—and later reunited with Bieber for “Lonely” in 2020.
On the flip side, Blanco has also shared the studio with Gomez herself, producing hits like “Bad Liar” and “Wolves” in 2017, and “I Can’t Get Enough” in 2019 alongside J Balvin and Tainy.
Benny Blanco as a Solo Artist
Beyond producing for others, Blanco has successfully ventured into solo artistry. His 2018 single “Eastside”, featuring Halsey and Khalid, became a massive hit and further showcased his versatility.
The Magic Behind the Music
In a 2024 interview with Howard Stern, Blanco explained his creative process in a way that only he could: “I swear to God I black out, and I wake up, and there’s crumbs all over me, and a song is done.” The blend of spontaneity and mastery has made Blanco a force behind the scenes—and now, more fans than ever are realizing he’s been the architect of some of their favorite songs.
