Benny Blanco, born Benjamin Levin, is Jewish. He hails from suburban Virginia and moved to Brooklyn in 2006 to pursue his dreams of making music.
As of 2023, the music producer has an estimated net worth of $50 million. If you’re curious about Selena Gomez‘s fortune, she is believed to be worth a whopping $800 million – 16 times more than her rumored boyfriend.
After graduating high school, Benny dedicated his life to music and that’s when he made the EP Bangers and Cash with Spank Rock, quickly establishing himself as a successful musician. The success of the raunchy album gained him recognition and bagged the opportunity to work with super-producer Dr.Luke. After that, there was no looking back for Benny.
Over the years, he has worked with the biggest names in the industry, who are also his pals. He wouldn’t work with artists he can’t strike a friendship with. Among Benny’s notable projects and songs are Circus with Britney Spears, Kesha’s TikTok, Katy Perry‘s I Kissed a Girl, Cold Water with Justin Bieber, and more.
He debuted his first solo album, Friends Keep Secrets, in 2018 when he decided to extend his skills beyond producing music by stepping before the camera. The debut single, Eastside with Halsey, from his album went on to become Number One on Billboard’s Pop Songs radio airplay chart.
