Taylor Swift Makes A Big Move

According to reporting from Forbes, Taylor Swift has supplanted Rihanna as the richest female musician in the world. Swift’s net worth has increased to an estimated $1.6 billion, buoyed by the financial success of her wildly popular Eras Tour and her chart-topping album sales. Swift not only has become the richest female musician, she now ranks as the second wealthiest of all musicians, trailing only Jay-Z whose net worth is valued at $2.5 billion. Swift is also the only musician in history to reach a six-figure net worth primarily from her recordings and touring, without additional business ventures. Forbes estimates that Swift’s assets include $600 million from royalties and touring, another $600 million from the value of her catalog, and $125 million from real estate. Back in 2020, Swift’s assets were valued at $365 million, with the pop superstar’s net worth increasing by over $1.2 billion in the last four years alone.
