Selena Gomez: How I Spent My First "Wizards" Paycheck

"Wizards of Waverly Place" -- the show that made Selena a household name -- set to air its final episode on Jan. 6th, the 19-year-old singer and actress opened up to "Access Hollywood" along with her cast mates David Henrie and Jake T. Austin, about how life has changed since starting the hit show.

Despite commanding $100,000 per concert according to her 2010 tour rider, the star says she has yet to make any really big purchases. When asked what was the first thing she splurged on was, she told "Access Hollywood": "Shoes .... I didn't really buy anything. She said that she’s never been a big spender, admitting that her only splurge was a modest $34,000 black Hybrid Ford Escape she got for her 16th birthday.but seemed unsure if that qualified as a big splurge.  For one of the world's most famous teenagers, a $34,000 car seems pretty sensible.


Even more surprising, Gomez admitted that her first paycheck from 'Wizards' went to helping out her family. "I think [my first paycheck] went into living [in Los Angeles] because we had to move from Texas, so I think we just had to pay for it," she said.

Her castmate 17-year-old Jake T. Austin, who plays her younger brother, also said his first paycheck from Disney went to helping out with the rent and to "[helping] my family out a bit, it just goes into living and typical everyday expenses."
She's actually known for being pretty low key and has been spotted on the red carpet wearing a $23 dress from teen clothier Forever 21 and has even been spotted stocking up on trendy items at the budget-friendly store.
