Only Murders in the Building Season 3: How much did Selena Gomez earn as Mabel Mora?

Not many actors or pop stars in the past have successfully forged an alternate career for themselves within the entertainment industry, but Selena Gomez is a sparkling exception in this regard. The fact that she delivered both a mega chartbuster in 'Calm Down' and the equally triumphant Season 2 of Only Murders in the Building enunciates that she is able to balance both facets with some flair. 

Although Gomez has found a lot of fame and fortune both as an actor and a teen idol, there's a sense of clarity imbued in the way she approaches her professional life. One gathers that she only picks up stuff that she can fully commit to and also have a lot of fun while at it. 

With this mojo, she returns as Mabel Mora on August 8 in the much-awaited third season of Only Murders in the Building. A show that began on slightly modest terms is now super successful and equally adored across the world, and Selena Gomez's presence as one of the three leads (along with comic legends Steve Martin and Martin Short) could be one of its main highlights. Gomez won critical acclaim, lots and lots of love and in the same vein, the show also earned her a massive pay cheque.

Born to Rule

It must be noted that Selena has been a big earner right from the start, considering that her first major stint, Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place, helped her make more than $3 million in total. Sure, this was before her singing career fully took off or before her personal life became a sensation, but it has been evident all throughout that she is highly sought-after as a talent, as an entity.

Cosmopolitan reports that Gomez breached the $10 million mark, in terms of net worth, back in 2013. As a singer, her live events such as the Revival tour and the Stars Dance Tonight tour are said to have collected a whopping $35.6 million and $35.3 million each. Selena Gomez's cosmetics brand Rare Beauty, reportedly, generated over $60 million in the year of founding alone!

How much did Selena Gomez make from Only Murders in the Building?

Well, though we don't have the exact figure, it is still safe to say that it's a lot. As reported by Variety, her two co-stars, Martin Short and Steve Martin, took home each a cheque of $600,000 per episode, meaning that Selena Gomez, too, would have made at least as much. A 10-episode season would bring the earnings to $6 million, but one must not forget that she is also one of the producers of the show. Meaning another avenue to make moolah!

Only Murders in the Building Season 3 premieres on August 8 on Hulu and Indian OTT audiences can stream it on Disney+ Hotstar on the same day.
