Selena Gomez, 20

Her breakup and makeup with longtime boyfriend and pop sensation Justin Bieber may have been a tabloid obsession for almost a month, but the Texan native clearly didn’t lose sight of her career through it all. The young Hollywood star is running a full-blown empire between her Kmart clothing line and successful fragrances. Let’s not forget her new music album due early next year and racy upcoming movie role in Spring Breakers.

With her full schedule, Selenita still makes time to give back as UNICEF’s youngest ambassador. She recently helped Chilean families with the “Programa Puede” program, which develops early childhood education in impoverished communities.
