At 34, Taylor Swift has made history as the first musician to join the billionaire club solely through her music and performances.
This incredible achievement is largely due to the value of her music catalog and the success of her Eras tour.
As of Monday, October 7, 2024, Forbes confirmed that Taylor Swift is now the richest female musician in the world, with an impressive net worth of $1.6 billion.
Her financial success is credited to her massively popular Eras tour, which sold out worldwide, and the value of her entire music collection. This makes Swift the first musician to reach billionaire status purely from her songs and live performances.
Her wealth includes nearly $600 million from royalties and touring, another $600 million from her music catalog, and around $125 million in real estate.
On the Forbes list of the world’s billionaires, Swift is ranked at #2,117. She has now surpassed other major female musicians like Madonna ($850 million), Beyoncé ($760 million), Celine Dion ($550 million), and Rihanna, who has a net worth of $1.4 billion.
With her current net worth, Taylor Swift is now the second richest musician in the world, just behind Jay-Z, who is worth about $2.5 billion.
