Selena Gomez, Angelina Jolie… each had a difficult childhood before succeeding on the artistic path.

Selena Gomez

When Selena was born, her mother was only 16 years old, and her father was a high school student. Selena’s grandparents often have to take care of their grandchild so that her parents can complete their studies. Her family at that time was struggling to face many financial difficulties. When Selena was 5 years old, her parents divorced. Her mother then had to raise her daughter alone with a meager income.

Selena Gomez started acting when she was 7 years old and achieved success thanks to the TV show Wizards of Waverly Place (from 2007 to 2012).

With her pretty, lovely appearance and natural acting, Selena Gomez quickly became famous and was fondly called “Disney princess” thanks to the success of many famous movies such as: The Wizard of Waverly Place, Monte Carlo , Cinderella Story, Ramona And Beezus,…

The beauty also has outstanding success as a singer and also has a series of globally famous hits: We Don’t Talk Anymore, The Heart Wants What It Wants, Lose You To Love Me … Selena’s position Gomez was affirmed in the world music industry, bringing the multi-talented “Disney princess” to superstardom.

Since the age of 19, the Good for You singer has been in the real estate business with her first house in the San Fernando Valley, California. She bought it for $2.2 million, and sold it for $3.5 million.

In addition, she also owns houses in Calabasas (3.7 million USD), Texas (2.7 million USD). Most recently in 2020, ex-lover Justin Bieber spent $4.9 million to buy singer Tom Petty’s 11,000 square meter mansion. Gomez moved here and temporarily closed his $2.79 million apartment in Studio City.

Justin Bieber

Before Justin Bieber succeeded in his Hollywood music career, he also had to go through difficult years in his childhood. The male singer used to live in a small, damp, cramped house full of rats and always lacked food. He didn’t even have his own room and had to sleep on the sofa every night.

Justin attended Catholic school and began to express his passion for music. His mother recorded the performances and uploaded them to YouTube. These clips caught the attention of the director of the famous So So Def Recordings company, Mr. Scooter Braun. Justin was soon signed to become an exclusive artist.

With his special voice and new musical thinking, Justin always maintains his heat and position in the music industry. However, there was a time when the image of the male singer was boycotted from all entertainment activities because of the noise surrounding his personal life. Including Justin’s romantic relationship with Disney star Selena Gomez.

Looking back on his rebellious youth, Bieber has repeatedly admitted his mistakes when he behaved arrogantly. He had experiences of maturity much earlier than his age.

Bieber once shared with WWD magazine: ” Before the age of 25-26, I want to get married and start preparing for a family.” Currently, he owns a huge fortune of more than 65 million USD.
