Taylor Swift has officially become the world’s richest female musician, surpassing Rihanna with an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion. Currently on her successful Eras Tour, she is now just behind Jay-Z on the Forbes billionaire list. Unlike many others, Taylor reached billionaire status primarily through her music and performances.
Her journey to wealth took off last year with the incredible success of the Eras Tour, projected to generate up to $4.1 billion. Taylor’s fortune includes $600 million from royalties and touring, another $600 million from her music catalogue, and around $125 million in real estate holdings. Her achievements reflect her unmatched influence as a powerhouse in the music industry.
With the European leg of her tour complete, Taylor will finish the Eras Tour with shows in the U.S. and Canada by the end of this year. Recently, she publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for the upcoming presidential election, which prompted a critical response from Donald Trump, who reacted with negative comments against her.
